Heeeee. Love it. It is just so interesting to see the differences in how different fandoms interact over fics. And not even in a "one is better/'smarter' than another" kind of way. Just... different, and fun. (Although there are the less pleasant aspects to some of those differences - where some fan circles will welcome newbies and casual fans with open arms, and others apparently want you to present your credentials at the door. XP) Some fandoms like to get super in-depth, debating obscure lore and unclear points. Others lean more toward incoherent flailing. In some you may get an essay from pleased fans, in some you'll get one vaguely-grammatical sentence, in some you'll get links to awesome/fun/useful screenshots... and in some, the highest possible form of praise is death threats (the more improbable, the better).
