Assuming you mean fandom, and I'm sorry if I'm intruding!, but it's basically a group of people who are all fans of something. Fandoms can be anything from ~~Star Wars~~ ~~Harry Potter~~ ~~Doctor Who~~ ~~Star Trek~~ specific books or movies to bands to cars to sports to video games to anything that people like. It's also a community of people and a subculture with similar interests. Some people will argue you have to have a certain level of obsession to be part of a fandom, but I don't think so. You just have to be a fan and want to be in that community. And it's okay if you don't! Sometimes fandoms have large groups who aren't very friendly and tend to be snobby (which, in this instance, we're using snobby to substitute less polite words). Your interest in a fandom can be passing and minor to fully involved. Some people enjoy the books and want to talk about them or enjoy the movies or tv show. Others enjoy that and engage in other, more involved aspects of the community, such as writing fanfiction or role playing. Some people create art of various types or clothing. Some fandoms have such a large and/or devoted fanbase that they have their own conventions complete with cosplaying (costume playing, where they dress up as characters and sometimes even get so into them they portray them for the duration of the convention. Like Halloween but not on Halloween necessarily), ~~but you don't need to know~~ which is pretty crazy. ~~I assume I probably have one based on what I've learned, and I don't want to think about that nope~~ But also cool because of how it can bring so many different people together.

	I knew you'd explain it better! Thanks, Pete. [Peter] Is it weird that people have a fandom for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Welcome!

[Freddy]

Yeah, it kinda is. But I'm used to those things being reserved for the Avengers and things that are fictional in my world, so that's probably part of it. But even in my world, it's weird. Not bad, though! Unexpected. And a lot to get used to. ~~Especially since Flash might be my biggest fan, and that's just a whole different level of weird and funny.~~

Surreal! That's probably the best word to describe it.

	Well, as cool as fandom is, I like being your friend better than being your fan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was thinking we could ask the entity for photos of *someone*, but I like your idea better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
