I've been wondering about this a long time now...
Just how old are SE's fans? The Hollywood execs would have us believe that the classic SFF fan would be 18 - 30 year old, male, and generally eager to buy tickets even for badly made movies based on puerile books that were rip-offs to begin with coughEragoncough. Sigh. Rants apart...
Just wondering, because there are some threads on the Other Fantasy board about favorites from the 80s... and in general the folken on the boards are impressively well read (I get a complex sometimes - used to fancy myself as a guru of SFF before running into the likes of Pat and the Cat and so on on these boards)
So... pick one age range, and let's see... maybe you will end up reassuring poor ol me.
I haven't included a range under 15 years of age, because I figure SE is (most optimistically, and using more Hollywood jargon) PG-13.

Where the hell is the button for handsome!!? Hmmph!
"I think i was a bad person before. Before this time. I do not try to be good now but i am not bad. Perhaps if i try harder i may get a better hand dealt next time? But surely that makes it pointless? Perhaps i am good. Just good at being pointless. But that would make me bad. Bad at having a point. Ah
. I see now. I was nothing before, I am nothing now. I am bad purely because im pointless. "

I'm 30 in a couple of weeks.
Seems like only yesterday I used to take my toys in the bath and play scuba diving games... actually, it was the day before yesteray, but who's counting?

I want to die the way my dad died, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I believe we established that I'm the oldest (56) here, unless somebody older has come along since the last time we did this exercise.
Oh! So this was attempted before? Do you have that thread URL handy?

Beginning to sense a deep mystery here:
Where do most of the SFF fans go after they turn 35?
My guess: Diaper duty
