What's it all about?
Well, it started like this: We had a vocabulary workbook in school, and each week we'd have to do the exercises. They included writing sentences using each word. I would write them about my favorite fandom characters, and I definitely memorized them better that way! It was a lot of fun. I've been wanting to work on expanding my vocab and I need a bit more structure than just posting to my journal, so I decided to create a community using my favorite subject -- fandom. If it sounds like fun, join in!
