Fandom and collective thinking? the power of fans and how popular topics among us sometimes appear even in canon?(in case of tv shows) Do script writers use fan´s ideas to please or target a certain age group? Are we creating a market? Can a movie become popular or "cult" thanks to fandom and rare details that the director did not intend as a focal point of the plot? fandom and real actor/actresses lives? is it stalking if you follow someone´s career avidly? is writing RPS offensive to this real persons? are we(fans) subconsciously rejecting the accepted norm? do we have a "real" life if we spend a lot of time writing about fictional characters? Are we disturbed people or undiscovered authors? Was JK Rowling a fangirl before she took the plunge and HP was born?
You can talk about fandom and psychology all you want but even though Brown is world famous for being an open minded university,it is STILL a university so consider your options and have the best of lucks,and a merry christmas from Spain ^^
