"In ways they never tried before", oh yes, I'd say that's a safe bet. [with a disparaging glance at the nearest booth, which is plastered post-to-post with imPort erotica (and little of it tasteful).]

Me? A fan? [Rincewind scoffs - and pauses. Because, well, actually...]

...As a child, I suppose. Once. But you grow out of it, don't you? That's the whole thing. You grow up, you get knocked about, and you learn.

You don't grow out of enjoying something. Sure, you'd never catch me dressing up at a convention, but that's because I'm not lame. But I get it.

[His inner nerd would love to dress up at conventions, but he's got an image to maintain. An image that apparently involves wearing expensive clothing and being 'ttly cool'.]

It's sharing appreciation with others, of belonging to something. These people aren't just here for us, they're here for each other. For some of them, this is the only time in their lives that they can just hang out and be themselves and actually get approval from it. They can dress as their favourite hero and have others actually giving them compliments for it rather than laughing in their faces.

[that's a good little Winger speech, Jeffrey.

Rincewind makes some low, disgruntled noise, arms still folded against his chest. Valiantly trying to pretend none of that got through to him.]

...Yes, well, there are a dozen other heroes out there. Real ones, even. I wouldn't care if it weren't my hat they were doing it with.

[he kicks at some invisible dust mote.]

You're lucky the only way they can imitate you is through hair gel and tight shirts.

[Jeff hides any smile that might be trying to tug at the corners of his lips. That defensive arm folding and grumbling means he's won, and winning is what Winger's do best.]

Well styled hair is still a trademark! You can spot the me cosplayers a mile away because they all look good. [Obviously his cosplayers are the best because they're dressed as him.]

Y'know, speaking of trademarks, I might go buy one of those hats...
