Member-only story
Over the decade that I have been writing for GeekMom, a big chunk of my posts have been about entertainment in the form of books, comics, podcasts, games, movies, music, TV shows and whatever else is out there, with world creations, concepts or characters that I fell in love with, wanted to be part of, obsessed about: my fandoms. Writing for GeekMom helped me not bore strangers at parties (or scare them away.) My top post of all my time here was about a fandom, Bronies, the boys who loved My Little Pony TV show. Although I wrote about it, it was not one of my personal fandoms.
My fandoms posts were sometimes brief but intense obsessions where I wrote several posts over a year or so, while others have come back again and again throughout the decade. These posts vary from essays intensely explaining why EVERYONE should be a fan too, to themed recipes, composing original music, crafts, making or finding videos, reading fanfiction or drooling over fanart, or writing essays about another topic but I brought in my fandom as an example because I think about it all the time. Luckily, I’m here with ya’ll, where you understand me. As I looked back through my 435 posts, first on an independent GeekMom.com, then a subset of Wired, and then in partnership with GeekDad, I sorted and tallied all the fandom posts to find my top ten over those years.
