Re: What makes something count as a "fandom" to you?

[(Anonymous)]

As I commented in the thread for #3, for me, being in a fandom is about three things:
1. Intent – deliberately setting out to share your experiences with other fans; being part of a fan collective
2. Attachment – forming some emotional connection to that something beyond just the initial enjoyment of consuming it
3. Action – engaging with that something outside the initial watching/listening/reading/playing/buying of that something in any way

I like your definition, it makes sense in an analytic way. Things like the cups is something where, without context, wouldn't appear to have a fandom, but then you find out people are doing what would be considered fandomy things with them, and that's when it tips over into a fandom. Decorating, collecting/displaying, hell even just having squee-laden chats about the thing with other people who like the thing is a fannish activity. I'd guess the fine line between a hobby existing on its own and having a hobby-fandom is Intent more than Action.
