And video game players are pretty marginalized even in fen culture. There are a lot of 'video gamers' that don't overlap with fandom - lots of teenagers nowadays, sport game fans, etc. Fact it, the major draw to video games isn't story or setting - it's activity.

Whereas readers and TV/movie viewers, if they want to participate creatively, have to sew costumes or paint pictures or write fanfic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
