My dear fandom, you are love.

First, I must get the negative out of the way:

( Which is worse? The Hilton or a flu virus? )

And now, the positive... and there's SO MUCH POSITIVE.

Dear Fandom,
You are LOVE.  You really are.  Everything that was right about Terminus was right because of you - the people of fandom.  There was so much, so let me just list a few:

( All the many reasons why fandom is the most amazing thing in the world. )

There were so many things that were RIGHT about Terminus, and they were all due to the people of fandom.  I can't express right now how much you all mean to me, and how much affection I feel for so many of you right now.  That's the fandom I know and love.  That's our fandom.

I'll post more details later, but for now, I had to write that.  Now... I'll get about five hours of sleep before I go to work.  On my birthday.  While I still have that cold.  It's okay.  There are greater things that keep me going.
