4.0

I'm quite an avid reader in fannish dialogues online, so I'd read some of these already, but it was amazing to me how many I hadn't. Though even when I hadn't, particularly in the essays section, I was aware of the ongoing discussions and events in fandom that had prompted them. There was a significant and appreciated effort at diversity within both content and contributors, but I have to say I would've liked to see a little bit more of people taking joy in fandom. Then again, maybe that just wasn't what people were writing about online in 2013.
