It didn't read as defensive to me, more explanatory. I would never have discovered fandom unless I'd been unemployed and alone a lot of the time and rather depressed, it helped me through a bad time and I made friends I'd never have made. I - personally - don't feel there's anything negative about admitting that.

Oh, I agree! (And I'm glad you landed in fandom!)

Me, I was fannish from grade school, and active and buying fanfic zines from the age of 14 or 15. And only really started to write fanfic so that I could be on SentinelAngst. I'm still not all that social fannishly, compared to how I interact on some parenting lists.
