Yes! Sometimes it seems as if everything in the world is for sale, including votes and the integrity of many members of Congress. But fandom is a purer place, a place where you can have nearly anything for love but almost nothing for money.
I play a lot of computer games, and it used to be that game mods were made and shared purely for love of the game and of fellow players. A couple of years ago, Steam made it possible to "tip" people who make game mods, and now everyone expects to be paid for everything. It has really ruined the tone of gaming circles! Thank heavens fan fiction is still a place that's about shared love of the material.
