Delurking for a moment just to squeal . . .
A decade ago, while immersed in my Junior year of undergrad, a friend talked me into starting a mailing list dedicated to the virtually unknown, and certainly unloved* Tomorrow People fandom. I did with great trepidation, since the show meant so much to me, but I couldn't imagine a) anyone else sharing the sentiment or b) anyone actually having anything to talk or write about. Boy, was I wrong.
I could stand being wrong like this a lot more.
*hugs everyone who had any hand in making this possible*
To Mark S., wherever you are, thank you for not only suggesting the obvious (if you want a mailing list that badly, why not start your own?), but for donating the server space on which we cut our teeth.
And thanks to
drednort,
tptigger,
estirose, and
kerravonsen who were there at the very beginning, and who are still here. It's good to know that I'm not the only one crazy enough to stick around for a decade.
10 Years!

* The fandom had just gone through a major implosion that almost permanently killed it. My biggest struggle in the first years was getting people to give a TP fandom another chance. Also, making tapes.
