*A WARM SHOUT OUT TO THOSE WHO HELPED as I know I didn't fit in all your stuff in cuz i was trying to get as many people as possible, AND THOSE THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT IN:TARDIS-Granger
The screaming crowds. The hours spent online, spreading pictures and information. All these people coming together. Let me introduce bạn to a fandom.
Fandom is a term that sounds like what is is—it refers to all the combined những người hâm mộ of something. It can be a sport, hobby, hoặc book. It can be very specific, down to one show; hoặc wide, encompassing all shows in a genre. The những người hâm mộ are closely connected bởi shared interest. Fandoms have been around for some time, but have recently become mainstream. Are bạn ready to enter their world?
“People sometimes look at fandoms from the outside and wonder why [they] spend so much time on these people they don't know personally, but once bạn step inside the world bạn can start to understand it...fandoms are just one of the many ways that we gain and spread ideas, information and wisdom from all over the world,” đã đưa ý kiến Haley, a high school junior, in her bài viết Fangirling Dissected.
Now fandoms can take their interest online. Many websites are built bởi dedicated những người hâm mộ of everything from Harry Potter to My Little Pony. những người hâm mộ from all over can collect information, have conversations, post original artwork and stories, and write on forums. It’s easy for every member of the fandom around the world to connect, even if they never meet in real life.
There’s a difference between người hâm mộ and fandom. Only the most devoted những người hâm mộ are included in the fandom. Youtube user danisnotonfire explains the difference between a “casual” người hâm mộ and an “internet” người hâm mộ that would be in a fandom.
“Let me explain: firstly the person discovers and enjoys the thing. Then the person goes onto the internet and has fun learning thêm about it and people who feel the same way. The person then suddenly becomes aware of their [the object of interest] overwhelming perfection and it becomes the những người hâm mộ main reason for being alive.”
Being overcome bởi emotion when something in the fandom happens hoặc the person sees hoặc hears anything related to their fandom (They see a picture, hear the name, etc) is called “feels”.
“Now whenever anything happens, they are overcome bởi so many emotions [feels] that they can't function and it’s basically destroyed their life. Basically fandoms are like drugs, bạn just need that little bit to get bạn hooked, and then a tiny bit thêm here and there, when BAM, suddenly your life is a train wreck.”
That’s where many disagreed. As fanpop tên người dùng x-Yumi-x pointed out, being a người hâm mộ may take up a lot of time, but that’s because it’s all stuff they tình yêu doing; stuff they’d rather be doing than other things.
“To be honest, being in a fandom really enriched my life and được trao me a sense of belonging,” đã đưa ý kiến fanpop tên người dùng Cerudays.
“Being in a fandom has brought a lot of good times into my life that I wouldn't have had otherwise. I honestly don’t know what I’d be doing if it weren’t for this,” added fanpop tên người dùng Panisepic.
Members of a fandom tend to be very interested in all of the details of their object of interest. They will absorb any accessible knowledge about it, and it often makes them very educated about it. For example, những người hâm mộ of Doctor Who could danh sách all the actors, talk about who made the best companion, hoặc argue avidly that David Tennant was the better doctor. Often, members connect bởi organizing things like conventions, games, hoặc conferences. người hâm mộ fiction (fictional stories about the object of interest written bởi fans) and art are also common among fandoms. These are just thêm signs as to how much những người hâm mộ tình yêu their hobbies.
One example is a story of how much one girl wanted to get a poster and see a new movie. “I had been waiting for the new phim chiếu rạp to come out for half a year, and they were being shown…near my town. If bạn attended in cosplay [dress up like a character from show, book, hoặc video game, especially ones from Japanese genre of manga and anime], bạn could get a free poster— and I really, really wanted a poster! I went with a friend, but there were maybe 40 people also in costume there, and the theater wasn’t open yet! So all 40 something of us stood outside in cold weather wearing ridiculous costumes, watching as people stared when they drove by. It was hilarious!” exclaimed Cerudays, telling of a story she happily remembers. “I met a lot of cool people, got the poster I wanted, and enjoyed watching an anime movie in a theater full of people who shared my interest. It was so cool!”
Many people can misunderstand these fans. Panisepic thinks the biggest challenge would definitely be other people’s view of fandoms, and having the reputation of being nerds.
“I know there’s a lot of stereotyping that goes on...I really think we would prove them wrong. We wear shirts with characters on them, bạn wear a football jersey. We talk about last night’s episode, bạn talk about last night’s game. We have yêu thích characters, bạn have yêu thích players. bạn think it’s weird we listen to something in another language we can’t understand, all your plays, scores, player names, and teams are just as must gibberish to me as anime is to you.”
Sometimes the stereotyping of fandoms goes beyond just points of views. Sometimes people take it as far as bullying.
This was the case with fanpop tên người dùng Animegurl235.
“The only thing I basically have an interest in is anime… I was actually depressed for a period of time in middle school for being bullied so much for loving anime. I’m totally fine now though, and have made anime loving friends!”
So, now that bạn know about fandoms, are bạn curious about the most được ưa chuộng ones? Here’s a compiled list, not in any specific order. Doctor Who with những người hâm mộ called Whovians, Sherlock Holmes with những người hâm mộ called Sherlockians, Breaking Bad, anime (Japanese animation) with những người hâm mộ called Otakus, Hunger Games with những người hâm mộ called Tributes, Game of Thrones, and Supernatural.
Now, when most people think of the beginning of fandoms, they think of Spock. But it came even before ngôi sao Trek. In 1900’s, it was used to describe sports fans. The earliest known record of fandom is actually when Arthur Conan Doyle began his stories of mystery novels about Sherlock Holmes when a passionate người hâm mộ base popped up. These early Sherlockians weren’t happy with just đọc the books; they wanted to live them. Since gaming systems were a while off, they settled for the tiếp theo best thing: nghề viết văn stories. Except they didn't use the term fanfiction, they called them “parodies” and “pastiches”. “Fanfiction” didn't get used until the mid 60’s around the publication of the earliest fanfiction journal, the ngôi sao Trek themed Spockanalia.
So a fandom is close community of people with shared interest. These people can laugh, cry, and make memories together.
“I tình yêu knowing that there are people all across the world that shares your interests! Even if they live on the other side of the ocean, even if they don't speak your language...just knowing that thousands of people are đường dẫn in a community dedicated to one universal thing with inside jokes, art, and âm nhạc is pretty awesome. We’re like one big family!”explains Cerudays. It’s a little thêm understandable why they like being a part of that, isn’t it?

Harry's P.O.V
______________3 years later___________________________
I was holding baby Darcy in my arms yes alex died but the baby shockingly lived. I was giving her a piggy back ride. Eleanor and Danniell did the hair and the clothes. She was already 4 years old. She was just like Alex and looked like her I would cry sometimes but i would get over it. But the touring and everything else cheers me up. We decided to go to the park then rent toys
Story and watch it with her she loved it. All the time we would watch it smiling and not moving.
Authors note: sorry if it's short
