The other day I came across this quote from Joss Whedon:
I guess the thing that I want to say about fandom is that it’s the closest thing to religion there is that isn’t actually religion.
I was thunderstruck because I had just been thinking this same thing! OK, probably lots of people have thought this, but just let me enjoy the feeling that Mr. Donovan and I are destined to talk with Mr. Whedon about writing and geeky things over cocktails someday.
