What's a fandom?

A Fandom is a community of fans who are all passionate about a particular movie, TV show, book series, celebrity, or any form of entertainment.

It’s the collective group of people who share a common interest and engage with each other through fan art, fan fiction, online discussions, and sometimes even real-life meetups. Fandoms can range from small groups of dedicated fans to massive, global communities.

For example, the Harry Potter fandom includes millions of people worldwide who discuss books and movies, create fan theories, dress up as characters, and engage in debates over the details of the story.

Fandoms often create their own subculture, complete with inside jokes, fan-made content, and even specific lingo. Being part of a fandom can be a huge part of a fan’s identity, as they find others who share the same deep love for a particular piece of pop culture.

Fandoms can be found on social media platforms, and various fan sites, where members can connect and share their enthusiasm.
