HP Shogun Era...

starvinbohemianI feel soooooo old in Harry Potter fandom. It's a bizarre contrast to being such a newbie to Bleach fandom.
For Nicole, who needs this crazy ass fandom history for her paper. You have the lovely Miranda ([Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com]) to thank for the link. ^_^
Seriously, though. Ooooooold. I can't believe how long ago all of that epic crap was. It was so HUGE then. You know, back in the olden days. ;) Cassandra Claire and her myriad of epic struggles within fandom (accusations of plagiarism, legal threats, stalking issues, etc.), the massive walk-out of ff.net, the Aja/Ivy Blossom fallout, etc. There are so many fans out there these days who don't know who Cassandra Claire is or don't remember Veela, Inc. It's so strange to me. It's a dead era. The HP Shogun Era. Not that those shoguns aren't still around, but still. I'm oooooold.
In a way, I'm kind of regaining my fandom youth by hopping over to Bleach. There, I'm a wee bairn. ^_^ And, you know, not so burnt out.
Dude. Do any of you remember when LJ was still "closed" to the general public? Remember when you had to know someone with a code to get one? *Wistful sigh* I remember when Ambrosia gave me one. I treasured it. God, what was wrong with me? ;)
