Excerpts

Before we begin, cards on the table: I hate the name Akefia. It’s not even a name. Akefia is fandom, attempting to ascend by its own boot straps, and I’m still confused as to how it hasn’t hung itself to death in the process.

That said, I can still provide an objective account of the name Akefia, its origins, its mythology, it’s place in our community. That objective, however, is to finally kill it.
