Posted June 12th, 2009 By: No Comments »
TA staff member BeckyInPhilly compares Twilight fans to Star Trek fans….:
I read the articles from the Twilight Examiner and the Vancouver Sun and I couldn’t help but want to share my own opinions on the comparison of the Twilight and Star Trek fan bases and how the fans of both are portrayed. I fall into both fandoms having grown up in a house that loved and saw everything Trek as well as read the occasional book based on the characters and stories and also by having fallen in love this past summer with the Twilight Saga.The comparison of the fan bases is interesting.
- The two are similar in their levels of fan devotion and in the mass marketing of products related to each series.- Both have fans that will go to great lengths and do anything in the name of the series.
- Trek and Twilight have fans that want to connect so much that they have taken to holding huge conventions all based on the love of fictional worlds where people find nothing wrong with dressing up as their favorite characters in very detailed costumes.
