Molte grazie for your very kind words! This desire to preserve is really due to the fact that we’ve seen this happen before and lost a lot of good things along the way. Even if we all move on to other fandoms, I think being able to look back to our old fandoms and seeing what we did is a great experience. Yes, even the bad ones like the drama. That’s why I think Fanlore.org is doing the most amazing thing because it’s quite literally the history of fandom! I think it’s important that we save these memories no matter how seemingly frivolous they are (like confessions). The point is, there were actual people who imagined these and even wrote stories about their fantasies! People invested a lot of time and love in this fandom, so I feel that it would be a shame to just throw it all away.
Besides, I do love going back to how this blog started and seeing all of these confessions again. It’s a very nice (though time-consuming) throwback. 😁
Love,
