Now fanfic and art gets brought up constantly when people interview (example) Benedict Cumberbatch of Sherlock or Misha Collins of Supernatural. It is strange to me, after being in online fandom for a decade to see the mainstream attention it's getting now, and things like art from memes getting gallery shows.
Part of me I think will miss the sort of naive fun I used to have back in the day, will all the scrutiny and attempt to enforce more rules on the internet, maybe the fun freewheeling fandom times will become a thing of the past.
