Re: What is fandom?

I have a long-standing thought on this, by which I classify the fandoms I've spent time in and around.

What counts for me as being "in fandom" is that I find communities, I talk with other fans, talk at length with fanfic authors, generally putter around and participate in things by commenting with thoughts and opinons.

I occasionally do art things, I may, just may, write small ficlets, but the biggest creative outlet I have, if I find a character I feel I can work with, is RP.

A fandom I am not "in" is one where I am curious about the canon, but all I do is go look and see if there's some interesting fic to read. I may leave reviews to those fics, but that's the extent of my involvement.

So TL;DR, I'm in a fandom if I do more than read an occasional fanfic and communicate with other fans beyond an occasional review.
