Fandom is like any other community: it has a "barbarians at the gates!" philosophy of closing the castle doors or pulling up the ladder or what have you. But of course the boundaries of fandom are ever-expanding. The same type of folks who were fanzine fans and freaked about internet fans are the types who now are freaking out about Good Reads fans or whatever.

There's some really good history recorded about it on fanlore. It's wonderful how all the language is the same. It's just the players who've changed.

DA

I don't think anything does. Fandom is an amorphous conglomerate.

Depends on how you define fandom, really...
