you just inspired me to make a 'reader -- and proud of it!' icon. Maybe with 'writer' crossed out or something.
I think I'm valuable as a non-fic-producing reader-only fan. Period. And I can't tell you how mad it makes me every time I hear a non-writer fan (say, cathexys!) state that they are still feeling less valuable as a fan because of their different form of engagement. I mean, just. SO.ANGRY.
That's almost like claiming that women have to produce babies to be uh, valuable *as women*.
(yes, I fail at comparisons, but I feel safe going out on a totally sketchy limb here :DD)
