In much the same way you could probably talk about the goings on of Bungie from 2002-2011 maybe, I can talk with authority about Avril Lavigne from this time period.

I'm friends with some of her friends, she knows (or at least knew years ago) who I am, and I have been following her closely for years, in a non stalker way :P. A concert buddy of mine started Avrilbandaids.com, which was for a time the largest English speaking music fansite online. It achieved a kind of bungie.org level of officially unofficial with Avril, to the point where she would sometimes promote avrilbandaids instead of her own website, and run contests on Bandaids. It is now defunct.

For me, I'm more of an Avril fan than a Bungie fan (though the two aren't comparable). I mean, I don't have the Marathon logo tattooed on my arm.

Everything has its own fan community, with its own levels of obsession and its own schisms and personalities.

That's how I know that stuff.
