I was at Escapade (a slash con) in 2004 and was told that Pros was a dead fandom. I was incensed!

I asked how was that determined (I just knew that I was still alive and in the fandom) and the person said that it had to have new fic on a regular basis, and more than a few fans.

At a ZCon panel in 2007, there were over 75 folk in attendance at each panel, and I go to several cons a year and everyone of them has a Professionals panel!!!!

So . . . we are alive and kicking - a fandom with lots of new fic yearly, a long history, really good-looking men to drool over, I mean admire, and we have fans like us!
