I've found out that I haven't been alone in so many experiences I've had where at the time I did feel all alone.
My FOC experience is slightly different from others' - to a large degree, I didn't know that I was looking for other fans of colour until I found them. Mostly, I wanted to find people who appreciated characters of colour and wanted to seee and write more of them instead of the 'pretty white people' all the time.
I knew I was different, that my perspective was different, but I couldn't put a name on the things that bothered me until I started encountering other fans of colour, who expressed the same sensations.
And yeah, I've felt the spark of recognition, and it's a relief to have someone else 'get it'.
