I feel a disconnect from 'fandom'. Like, I just don't get it.
I understand loving a particular book or movie. But I find it extremely hard to understand why, if one loves a particular book/movie, one would want more stories (even by other authors or in totally diferent media) set in 'the same universe', or why one would want to set one's own creative writing in that 'universe', and so on.
I'm re-reading and loving Le Guin's Earthsea series, but I'm not eager for an Earthsea game/movie etc.
