I know this is a little bit off-topic for this blog, but…

Net neutrality is important. Net neutrality is what allows fandom to exist online the way it does. Could fandom exist without it? Sure. It did before the internet was a thing. But not like it does now.

Without net neutrality, we could not have liveblogged six seasons of Grimm with you all.

Without net neutrality, it would be next to impossible for fan archives that host fanart and fanfic to reach and be reached by their userbase.

Without net neutrality, people in smaller fandoms like the Grimm fandom would have an even harder time connecting.

Net neutrality is so, so important for so many reasons…but for the purposes of this blog specifically? FYNB would not exist without it. Grimm fandom would be scattered and disconnected without it.

So if you support net neutrality, go to http://www.battleforthenet.com and find out how you can help make sure that we get to keep it.
