I am NOT a fakefan.

Source: wiktionary

I consider myself basically a fakefan, in the classical sense of somebody who hangs around fanzine fandom but never actually *does* anything like pub an ish or write a LoC. Seems to me that somebody who wanted to come to Corflu but who had no zine name to put on the badge would fit the "fakefan" definition.

I suspect some of the people jumping can't be brought to understand that you really _mean it_ when you say that this is your idea of an enjoyable con. Since they think you are intelligent and fannish types, you must Like What They Like, and probably indulge in gaming, anime and video just to lure fakefen to the con.
