REMEMBER WENN FANDOM
We Remember WENN fans are a hearty lot. Together we have endured
cliffhangers and cancellations. We had laughed together on chats and at
conventions. We have given each other congratulations in times of triumph
and comfort in times of sorrow. We have made lifelong friends though this TV show.
Remember WENN fans are an incredibly welcoming bunch. Not for us the
closed "clique" attitude of some fandoms. A WENN newbie isn't laughed at.
He or she is welcomed and greeted warmly.
We are a diverse group of fans. In our group are men and women, some of us
are in our 50s, others are barely into our teens. We have people in our
fandom from all over the country. New Yorkers, Californians, Southerners,
New Englanders, Midwesterners etc. Some of us are fans of Remember
WENN as part of a more general hobby of Old Time Radio, nostalgia, the
World War II era or cultural history. Some of us just like to watch a fabulous,
funny, dramatic, clever, and always engaging TV show. Over the years we've
had people come and go. We've had regulars, semi-regulars, occasional drop
ins and lurkers. We enjoy and welcome them all.
Oh, like all fandoms we've occasionally had our problems and squabbles.
One fan might get a bit miffed at another. But rarely is there a huge blowout
fight in WENN fandom. The years long fan feuds and power struggles of some
fandoms are alien to RW fans.The very few troublemakers we've ever had
soon realized they couldn't get our goat and left to bother someone else.
