Allow Us to Explain

Allow Us to Explain

If you live in the U.S. (like the writers of The Mary Sue), then today you’re experiencing (maybe even celebrating!) Thanksgiving 2011. And whether you’re working through the day, or preparing to stuff yourself with the roasted flesh of an over-engineered domestic bird, or whatever your particular Turkey Day tradition is, we hope you’ll indulge us for a Power Grid while we talk about what we’re thankful for.

There’s a lot that has happened the fandom world in the past year, from comics to movies, cartoons, and things even weirder by far. Here’s the parts that we’re very, very grateful happened at all.

But we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention one more thing we’re thankful for right here, at the beginning of the list. YOU! Every one of you who comes here every day, or maybe just occasionally or maybe you clicked a link once and never came back. It’s okay. That click was important. Where would we be without you? Well, we’d probably still be here. It’d just be a lot lonelier.

    I’m thankful for The Marry Sue too! 

    I’ve even linked some of the articles to my facebook page (which is kinda big for me), knowing most of my friends won’t read them, but maybe they will and get a kick out of them.  Who knows they could discover an inner-geek hiding inside themselves too.

    The only thing on that list I’m thankful for is Twitter (and I suppose The Mary Sue :P ).

    I AM thankful for that picture of Spike you got there… I’ll be in my bunk.
