Whereas for me they are very much a different tribe to my RL friends.
Their outlook on pretty much everything is just different. This is part of
why I don't always feel I fit in fandom.
Feel much that way myself at times, for all I stated above, I admittedly
know few people outside of the DW friends or online that are interested in
this stuff.
And I live in NYC.
It's why I went online -- to find people who were like-minded that enjoyed
the same off-beat stuff I did. But I've never gone to a con, or really
participated in fandom to the degree most have. Wrote very little fanfic
for example -- mostly meta.
