(Duh.) And it seems like people have thoughts all over the map. And it really seems to analogize to fandom very well. So what I'm wondering is:<br /><br />Historical fashion fandom:<br /><br />- Would you tell somebody if there was something inaccurate about their historic clothing, or want them to tell you?<br /><br />- Ditto something inaccurate but easily fixable and how to fix it?<br /><br />- Ditto lost buttons, pins, things in general that you're pretty are not how the owner intended it to look?<br /><br />Media fandom:<br /><br />- Blah blah characterization issues or plotting/pacing/that kind of thing?<br /><br />- Blah blah canon facts?<br /><br />- Blah blah typo/punctuation errors, etc.?<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=chocolatepot&ditemid=598885" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
