I wonder if this is how the explosion of Tolkien-style fantasy felt.
With the internet, the explosion can now occur a lot faster and further afield. I'm thinking back to when Tolkien fans I knew met by convincing high school teachers to let 'em have a corner of a chalkboard in school and then conversing in runes (which they taught themselves) and not meeting in person 'til much later in the school year.
