The first major difference between a business convention and a fan-dom convention is that fandom doesn’t bother with the pretenses. They’re just there to have a good time. The second difference is the dress code— the ensembles at a fan convention tend to be considerably more novel.”
― Jim Butcher, Proven Guilty

“And so, as generally happens, those who have most give least, and those with less somehow make shrift to share.”
