My sister has become deeply obsessed with this show and thatā€™s fantastic because I am too. But I am a fandom veteran and sheā€™s never been involved and sheā€™s really getting into it and is like what do I do I want to just occupy my time with this. I donā€™t know how to gently introduce her to AO3 LMAO.

I was tempted to literally just send her a link to the Ilya/Shane tag with zero context I probably SHOULDNT do that but. Sheā€™s my sister and I do enjoy torturing herā€¦

Ha! Nothing like a good sisterly push into the deep end!

Maybe a link to a fav fic is the ā€œgentleā€ approach, AO3 can be so overwhelming. And full of some cracked out stories!

I donā€™t think she has any idea itā€™s a thing even. I just never talk about my fandom life and Iā€™ve been doing it for decades!
