growyourwingsSomehow this makes me sad. It's an article about what I've been talking about for a while. That geeky, dorky fandom folks are an unexplored market for TPTB to discover and make money from.
It's both good and sad. It's good because it recognizes the energy and wonderfulness of fandom. But it's also sad because I worry that fandom will become overly commercialized and changed.
I wanted to go to ComicCon last year. But got scared aware because of the size of the thing. Looks like that window of opportunity (which was there for years, but i didn't know it), is gone. It will only get bigger.
