my fave kind of fandom merch is the subtle kind you can have in public in which someone could easily just mistake it for an aesthetic statement

THIS. There’s nothing wrong, of course, with wearing a t-shirt that effectively says “I AM A FAN OF A THING,” but for me...I love this shit. I have a quarter-scale version of the Fourth Doctor’s scarf, and I’d estimate that a full 75% of compliments I’ve received on it are from people who just thought it was a cool scarf. Not only does it save you from those awkward “So what’s your shirt about” conversations, but it makes those moments when someone does get it all the sweeter.

Confession: I maintain a secret 'fuckyeah' fan blog, which I don't tell people about because I don't want to be defined by my interest in the topic, but guess what? When I am having a bad day, sometimes it really feels good to log into that account and see how many people follow me and like my posts. Even though I know it has more to do with the topic of the blog than me, it still cheers me up a bit.

Make novelty songs about one targeted fandom, (frozen, Lego, dead pool, etc) and people throw $$$ :)

YOU'D LIKE TO THINK THAT, WOULDN'T YOU?! But seriously, this only works if people are already paying attention. You play a show and do a song about someone's fandom, NEW BIGGEST FAN. You're busking and try songs about or from Doctor Who, Clone High, Thrilling Adventure Hour, Firefly, Buffy....nothing. Are my fandoms too dated? I need to get on that Adventure Time train.

I'm actually writing a song about this phenomenon right now.

An open letter to fandoms:

Why is it that, whenever a post is "not okay," you reblog it? You seem to feel very strongly about the violence of this lack of okayness, and yet you also wish to subject that apparently intense level of not-okay on all your followers. This makes little or no sense. Cordially yours, Sarah p.s. John Watson loves jumpers
