I&#8217;m not talking about school compulsory literature text, I&#8217;m talking about fantasy and science fiction and all that.<\/p>\n<p>People who know what Stephenie Meyer and Eragon is and start laughing insanely at it or know terms such as <em>Mary Sue<\/em> and other sorts of cabbages and kings!<\/p>\n<p>PLUS, they&#8217;re in all ages which is like woaaaah, the saturation of the people being enthusiastic to find other people who just <em>get<\/em> it, the whole WHY WRITE thing even if we&#8217;re (currently) not famous and all and that we just want to do it cause WE WANT TO.<\/p>\n<p>Do not fret if this gasptrocity scares you, there&#8217;ll be at least ONE other person who has the same fandom as you if you&#8217;re a Nanowrimo-er who comes to the party even if you&#8217;re NEW!<\/p>\n<p>So yes.
