Oh my god, you are so awesome! I want to hug you. There are so many different kinds of people in fandom, but we're definitely the sort that just need to create and fill spaces.
I am sure Benedict's experiences with the term are very different from mine and if he knew of people like me, he might phrase things a little differently. But even if he doesn't, that's okay. I don't need his permission to be a fan and to adapt an identity that reflects my experiences and reality. I did want to put it out there and have it on record.
