Curious thought: Fandom vs Real Life
Jul. 15th, 2007 04:44 pmLately I’ve been reading ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandomsecrets on and off and while it’s mostly the usual sort of thing you might except with people declaring a dislike of some popular pairing or a like of one that they won’t admit to their friends, with a couple of what seem like vaguely trollish secrets too and stereotypes to boot, what’s really surprised me was a certain sort of secret that seems to be occasionally reoccurring. Namely that various posters declare that whichever fictional reality of choice is somehow better than their own life or that they’d love to live in a certain fictional setting.
( “And though scary is exciting, nice is different than good.” )
