Oh absolutely. I was amazed when I got into Due South (just before season 4 came out on DVD). I asked around for episodes because it wasn't easy getting the discs over here and I sort of wanted to wait to see if there might be a box set of at least 3+4 before I bought anything.
People shared all the episodes. Old eps recorded from TV, converted to .avi format and shared. More than willingly. I haven't seen that spirit in any other fandom, I think.
Now, thanks to an American fan, I've got a box of 3+4 -- and i didn't even know her. She offered to get it for me and ship it. Gotta love such helpful fans.
As for writing. Yes. It's easier to get help here than in any other fandom I've ever been in. Or rather, it's easier to find good help. What people don't know, they'll help you figure out.
The tone is fabulous, yes. Compared to the Sentinel fandom, in which I did dip my toes for a little while, it's heaven. Around here you don't get your head ripped off for errors very often and people seem to want to help you along instead of keep you down.
