Hee! I like babbling on the subject, it's important to me and I find it interesting, and it was vaguely on my mind anyway.
Erm, but, could I possibly get you to screen the comment? Because I babbled fairly extensively cos I got all enthusiastic, and this is a more public forum than I'd normally do that on, and if you're gonna be inviting the nice folks from metafandom over, I'd rather not start a side-wank *g*
Back on the subject of fandom - yeah, Doctor Who is disapointing for it. And now I'm struggling to actually come up with any more British sci-fi that I care about enough to care about... Oh! Red Dwarf!
Lister is possibly a perfect example of what I'm talking about being missing from the American stuff, actually, because his racial-ethnic-cultural identity is also regional and local, it comes from a specific and (to me) recognisable set of experiences. It's that double-identity of Non-Caucasian-and-British.
