Long-time fandom friends are a very special relationship. I'm still friends with a group of people that I met through a small manga fandom back in 2012, and I always worry about losing touch as social media platforms rise and fall...at this point, much as I am loathe to join another platform, I would follow them most anywhere lol.

I am bookmarking your canon reclist to explore later! The way you've divided the category up looks interesting.
