Great news! My DIY sticker display prototype has proved functional in field-testing!
In other news, I am at Capricon 46 this weekend, with 3 panels today and 3 tomorrow, plus a reading, offering books to new readers, and generally geeking out. Great fun.
Here's a pic of my buddies at our Goshdarned Good Authors Collective's hangout table in dealers room.

#canine #fandom When I play standing up he sometimes comes over and lays down on my foot. When I play sitting down he often sits on my foot. Other times he'll get up and just walk out of the room when I start playing though, so he always keeps me grounded in reality.

I have always said, and will continue to say, that to thrive a social platform needs fandom.

As a little look into why, Ogilvy produced a report into fandom behaviour online and it is a really really interesting read (but of course you have to sign up).

What are you a fan of? 🎸 🏀

Whether it's sports, music, TV, or something else. It's human nature to be a fan.

But here on the Social Web, it can sometimes be hard to find fan content, leading to many hanging around platforms like X for their fan content.

Today, let's all be a little less serious and share the things we're fans of! You could even start a fan Channel using Channel.org...
