#like folks had mailing lists and as I recall there'd be a l l forms of fanart and fanfic thrown together oh my goodness

you reblogged my post about asks, so i am here to send you an ask!

i am currently watching star trek tos, and it is the Best television series To Me

you should watch it if you haven't!

Hello hello!!

I've only watch a smidgen of Star Trek here and there, a little smattering with my grandfather. But he liked Anything scifi!

Our family definitely leaned more towards Star Wars, but it's all fun at the end of the day, absolutely

The stuff I find most interesting about Star Trek, from outside looking in, is the impact it's fandom has had on basically, imo, being such a huge part of how modern fandom has developed, honestly! At least, you hear a lot of old stories about how there were fanfic writing groups and mailing lists, zines, the cosplays, etcetc

Sure, there Are older fandoms, like the folks who loved the Sherlock book series, or shows like The Twilight Zone, I Love Lucy, The Addams Family. But those all just didn't have any of the same traction as Star Trek, back then. Maybe one day I'd give the show (or one of the shows) a proper try again. Regardless, lots of respect for the folks who've kept the adoration for that fandom going strong to this day! 🔥🔥🔥
