    Nope. "Fafia" stands for "Forced Away From It All." Wide variety of things: family doesn't approve; financial reasons; job takes up too much time; or, in a few cases (can you say "John Vanible?" I knew you could), people have been so obnoxious that they were essentially fafiated by fandom itself, the ultimate shame of being outcast by the pariahs...

    People usually give away collections when gafiating, if not fafiating due to inconveniences to fanac such as death.

    I haven't seen her posting on here since FKO or maybe earlier, and a mutual friend has been trying to email to her and not getting answered. Anybody around Ohio know if she's just covered-up with her day job or had something happen to seriously fafiate her?
