Can Fandom Change Society?

As a person who indulges in certain TV show fandoms, I found the following short documentary quite interesting.

In about 7 minutes it discussed:

• how people always seemed to collaborate in creating a kind of fandom in the past,
• how it is changing what is considered as gender norms,
• how news can create a type of fandom while building up a bigger hype,
• and how fan fiction is driving copyright evolution

This was from the same source as the other documentaries I posted about last week. For this reason it more or less had the same structure. Yet, giving it the identity it deserves by the use of colourful typography similar to those seen in memes.

Summer Sensation

Now that Summer is practically over, here’s a short piece of free write.

That soothing thought taking all others out of mind. A sweet morning drive in the warm sun. Bare feet, sand, and the rush of sea clashing inside both ears. A bright blur staring out into the horizon and thoughts collide into nothing. Oily skin, bare chests, men dipping their feet in the waves. A crisp scent from the stand nearby. Fries would be right and the morning goes by.
