mickeym and brought to my attention by the always lovely

kentuckyfandom
To quote from
mickeym's opening post of the comm:
Fandom is a huge, huge place -- it spans the entire globe, literally -- and it's easy to feel (or get) lost within the vastness. Plus, sometimes it's just nice to know that you've got fannish friends that live (physically) nearby.
That's what this community is about. It's not about a particular fandom, nor even a specific genre (het, slash, gen). It's about fans who live within the state of Kentucky, who want to find other fans (reasonably) close by to get together with to watch shows, talk stories/characters/episodes, pimp into a particular fandom, or whatever. Maybe even do or talk about (gasp) non-fannish things. :)
I LOVE my flist, and the incredible diversity contained within it. I love that I know people from California, and Massachusetts, Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Hawaii, China, etc. But sometimes I get lonely, and it'd be nice to know that I could drive up to Louisville, or Owensboro, or Lexington, or Bowling Green -- or have someone drive down/over to me -- for a day visit. Or a few hours' visit. Y'know?
And it would be awesome. So I'm starting opening this up on my flist: Hey, I'm Laura, and I'm originally from Bardstown, KY, but I now live in Lexington. Any Kentuckian fen on my flist should join this comm--awesomeness is sure to come :D
