Day 3: What's a favorite, or at least memorable fandom meeting/interaction that you've had?

I've been incredibly lucky that others I've interacted with via fandom have been friendly, encouraging, and incredibly supportive. But I think one of my most memorable fandom moments came in a comment I received on a fic that dealt with a character's passing years before and what, if anything, remained of that person in the living world. The commenter mentioned that they had lost their mother a few years prior to reading this fic, but that reading it made them feel close to her again, as if she was right there next to them.

I cried when I read that comment the first time, and I still get teary remembering it. It was a simple little fic for me to write, but knowing it inspired such a lovely feeling in somebody I've never met warms my heart.
