Re: What is fandom?

[(Anonymous)]

"I think it's more about how much you like something. And being clued in to a certain way of thinking/talking about stuff you like in a way that marks you as part of fan culture, for lack of a better explanation.

Like, I always consider myself to be a part of fandom, even though my participation is kind of sporadic."

Yes, good point. I don't think you have to actively write fic or make art in order to be part of fandom. The difference between "fandom" and the general public is that fandom views the show/movie/book in question as more than just a piece of escapist entertainment.

Watching a show/movie just to pass the time and then immediately forgetting about it, like a disposable product, is not fandom. The members of "fandom" want to analyze and examine the show/movie/book on a deeper level, not just accept it at face value.

I think "fandom" is definitely a different group of people than the general viewing public who just enjoy the shows/movies/books in a casual way, as evidenced by the fact that some things which are hugely popular with the general public are much less popular in online fandom circles, and vice versa.
