Notes towards a squee lover's manifesto

Fandom means never having to explain why you think Duncan Macleod and Methos ought to get married and have fifteen adopted Immortal babies, and being able to find someone who wants to listen to your reasons anyway. Fandom means skipping the explanation of who Captains Jack Sparrow and Jack Harkness are and cutting directly to the extremely kinky multiverse 'fic where they hijack the TARDIS and go shag every attractive person in SF history. Squee means giggling at the thought of either of those, or better, at the thought of your own favorite couple stowing away on-board to watch the fun, and then writing it up to share with your best fandom friend.

Yes, please. From Celebrating Squee by Merlin Missy.

SO TRUE. There ought to be some kind of fandom version of the "Cake or death?" thing. "Fandom squee or wank?" "Squee, please!"

Truer words were never spoken! I love that part. :) And you either get it, or you just don't.
