Challenge #5:
Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom.

Where to even begin? I don't know if I can say in so many words exactly what fandom has improved in my life, but it definitely has. It's exposed me to so much more than I would've ever seen or experienced, having grown up a little sheltered. It allowed me to connect with all types of people that I may have gotten a chance to interact with otherwise and those interactions, big and small, brightened my life.

I also learned skills I wouldn't have thought to. Being in fandom and writing fanfic made me a better writer, thanks to practice, and I got to learn more graphic skills, which has made things more fun. It's also given me a sense of comfort, knowing that even if I can't always give it my all or have to back off for a while, it will still be there, even if it may look a little different than when I left it.

These are the kind of questions that always leave me blanking out so I will leave it short and simple by saying that I don't know exactly how it has improved my life. It just has. I'm grateful to still be around and have a chance to be apart of it.

I think your answer to this could've been my answer, if someone gave me the same question! Fandom is so wonderful for opening us up to people and things that we just wouldn't otherwise have known, isn't it? I love it, and I know that fanfiction has helped me improve my writing ten-fold at least. Glad you've found so many positives in it, as I have :)

Nice! And yes, it definitely is. I'm glad that you've found so much good from fandom as well. :D
