It’s kinda funny how fandom works, innit? The early fans either last or don’t, and sometimes they can contribute just a little and then kinda veer off.
Take that Fyre-Flye chick, for example. Did a lot of nice sketches in the early parts of the fandom, then just kinda went off to do her own thing. Pity, really; she was quite the talent, too, if she’d gotten in contact with a studio she may well have been good enough to work on the show.
Anyone ever figure out what made her get into the fandom as early as she did?
