(about fandom visibility) In the last couple of years, I see many more people willing to be open about their activities and let them connect their fannish identities with RL identities. I also see Lori’s point about transcultural fandom, although I see that blending is much more apparent in visual work than in fanfiction (though these are increasingly linked—another change).
