<p>Mai aka Mai.Strangelife on Instagram joins me to talk fandom.</p> <p><span style= "color: #262626; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;"> Mai's background with fandom is very unique as she's been a casual fan for a long time and only recently started getting more involved in fandoms. We talk about that change from enjoying media alone to sharing passions with others. We explore culture and fandom and how Mai has a critical eye to fandom. We also talk about her recent journey into the world of cosplay, from closet cosplay to future plans.</span></p> <p>You can find Mai at:</p> <p><a href= "https://www.instagram.com/mai.strangelife/">https://www.instagram.com/mai.strangelife/</a></p> <p><a href= "https://linktr.ee/mai.strangelife">https://linktr.ee/mai.strangelife</a></p>
