It just dawned on me how very loosely we can apply the word "fandom" to things... I feel so old.

Single member fandom isn't a new thing. Way-back-when that's where you started out until you discovered other fans more or less by chance.

AYRT

I guess so. I just never applied the word until I met other fans. The natural progression to me is

1. Like the thing
2. Find more people who like the thing
3. Enter the fandom

I am a fan of a lot of things that I don't interact with other people about, but I wouldn't call those things my fandoms...

SA I agree there's a distinction between being a fan and joining a fandom.

I'm a fan of lots of things, but there's fewer I'm in a fandom for. But in a narrow portion of those, I do all the fandom'y things, I just happen to be alone in it. I do of course hope I will have more people joining me, but meanwhile I post and I write and I fawn and squee and have a great time anyway.

Hmm. Maybe the distinction is in doing fannish things actively rather than just enjoying something passively in my view.

How do the rest of you distinguish between being a fan and being in a fandom?
