I've never been actively involved with the Sonic fandom. I could talk about Sonic for hours but don't usually feel like talking about it on social media or replying to posts since it can be quite rough. I don't feel it's an absolute must to be an active member of a fandom.

But I do love talking with Sonic fans irl at conventions etc. It's always a blast to have a conversation about Sonic with fellow fans in the flesh.
