I really like fanfiction. Reading and writing it. Nobody in my life knows and I plan on keeping it that way.

I never got too far into the fandom, and I've never really investigated it. I have no memory or knowledge of the bucket.

But I did enjoy looking at fan art and such whatnot, "trollsonas" and such, at least a bit. I got into the lore about as far as I do any

I recommend watching a youtube recap of the history of the fandom as it really helps contextualize the whole comic, and it is quite fun, as such an excentric comic attracted an equally excentric fanbase. There are plenty of fun and gross anecdotes. As for the bucket, you can watch for yourself, but let me warn you...

"spoiler"It's a bunch of people collectively spitting into a bucket in a restaurant
