I just want to take a moment and mention something that I've become obsessed with over the past few weeks: fan accounts. They're basically a story of meeting an artist or someone famous, told from the perspective of one of his or her fans. I know, I know. You're probably making a face at the computer thinking 'what's so great about those? It's just some silly story.' But that's where you're wrong.
"I went to the store yesterday and bought a gallon of milk and some chocolate" is a story. Fan accounts are fantastic because they go beyond simple story telling; there's so much excitement and emotion dripping from every line that you feel as if you're there watching it all happen. Maybe I'm just weird but I find them to be some of the funniest, most entertaining things you can read online.
It's gotten so bad now that I'm reading fan accounts about artists I don't even like. But I can't stop! And the ones from fans who are clearly insane/over-obsessed are even better. Maybe it's the disgust I feel when reading yet another story of a fan tasting/keeping some object simply because it's been graced by the bottom of some famous person's left shoe. But I find there's a certain kind of charm that accompanies those sorts of stories.
Well that's all I really had to say for this post. Just wanted to share my love of fan accounts with you all. See ya soon!

Today's question:
Do you love fan accounts as much as I do? Any particular ones that make you smile or cringe?
