| | What is "Furry"? |
 | | Furry fandom also seems to have a wider representation of sexual preferences than mainstream society; this is not limited to furs, however, as both science-fiction and fantasy fandom have a higher percentage of homo- and bi-sexual individuals than mainstream society. | | | Furry fandom is usually considered to be a subcategory of Fantasy fandom (fans of fantasy fiction and such), but people sometimes associate it with SF fandom (science- fiction fandom) or Anime fandom (Japanese animation fandom) as well. | | | Fandoms are sometimes quite large (such as SF fandom, which is all fans of science fiction) and are sometimes quite specific (Dave Barry fandom, those people who are avid readers and enthusiasts of Dave Barry). |

| | Fandom encompasses subsets of fans that are principally interested in a single writer or genre, such as Tolkien fandom and Star Trek fandom (whose more active members are better known as "Trekkers" or "Trekkies" by the rest of fandom). | | | Fandom in non-Anglophone countries such as Poland, Japan, Sweden, and Germany is based partially on local literature and media, with cons and all other elements resembling those of English-speaking fandom. | | | SF fandom has a life of its own, but not much in the way of formal organization (although clubs such as the Futurians [1937-1945] and the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society [1934-present] are a recognized feature of fandom). |

| | Although members of Fandom Wank claim that, in most cases, the target of a "wank report" will remain ignorant of the "mocking" going on in the community, it has become common for targets to be notified. | | | Claim that Fandom Wank was the cause of the shutting down of a fan fiction archive. | | | Frequent topics of discussion include any heated argument within a fandom, the behavior of various authors and Big Name Fans, fans who believe that the creator of a particular ongoing work is taking that work in an unwanted direction, and the reaction of fans to receiving harsh criticism of their fan fiction or fan art. |

| | Science-Fiction Five-Yearly #4 - Page 28 - What Was That Fandom I Saw You With? - Ted White |
| | True Seventh Fandom was born in early 1958, with FANAC, and persisted into 1961, and perhaps as late as the 1962 Chicon, carried on by AXE, and the fandom-wide interest in the second Willis trip. | | | It would be neither the first, nor the last, but it had a great impact upon fandom, since for the first time, a vast majority of the best material in fandom was being published for exclusive groups and was unavailable to newer fans. | | | Seventh Fandom badges were in prominent display at the 1953 Phillycon and a 7APA was formed and produced perhaps four quarterly mailings or so, but fandom never took to the self-proclaimed "7th Fandom". |

| | Science fiction fandom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Science fiction fandom or SF fandom is the community of people actively interested in science fiction and fantasy literature, and in contact with one another based upon that interest. | | | Participation in science fiction fandom often overlaps with other similar interests, such as fantasy role playing games, comic books and anime, and in the broadest sense fans of these activities are felt to be part of the greater community of SF fandom. | | | Fandom encompasses subsets of fans that are principally interested in a single writer or genre, such as Tolkien fandom and Star Trek fandom (whose more active members are better known as "Trekkers" or "Trekkies" by the rest of fandom). |

| | So-called genre fandom, therefore, promotes the view that all people have a stake in the storytelling, and corporate monoliths such as Fandom.com threaten not only individual freedom, but discourage the kind of creative discourse that has driven the fan community for decades. | | | Though the dictionary definition of "fandom" dates the word back to 1903, it first gained prominence in the 1930s, when readers who had letters published in sci-fi and fantasy magazines began writing to each other. | | | First Fandom's idealism may seem quaint today, but to Fandom.tv's Carol Burrell, it is the rule, and Fandom.com's commercial homogeneity is the exception. |

| | Introduction to Southern Fandom Confederation |
| | It was Janie and Irvin's vision to generate interest in a Worldcon in a region neglected by "national fandom" since the 1951 New Orleans Worldcon, largely due to the cessation by the late 1960s of the activities of fanzine editors living in the South who had been widely known in the 1950s. | | | Within fantasy fandom, there is a division into medievalists [members of the Society for Creative Anachronism], comics fandom, sword and sorcery fandom, and horror fandom. | | | Of course, just plain old science fiction fandom is an incredibly neat thing, a cultural phenomenon unique to the twentieth century, an amorphous bundle of splendid contradictions. |

| | At first "Fandom House" was a generic term we used to refer to whatever place we ended up renting, but the name finally stuck. | | | To some of you reading this, Fandom House was just an apartment building for weird people, or a place to hang out on Tuesday nights, or an oft-repeated and puzzling phrase. | | | I've been told that the later residents of Fandom House and those that might have wished to be residents believe that 27R Albion Street in Somerville, Massachusetts was always part group house, part crash pad, part computer-geek Nirvana -- for time immemorial. |

| | Academia Explores the Final Frontier - Fandom Theses and Dissertations |
| | Fans tend to view these studies as incomplete because of the fandom community that exists outside the formal structure of a convention that is rarely discussed. | | | It’s hardly necessary that parents and coworkers be made aware of a element of fandom that is openly debated within the fandom community itself. | | | Some of these informal gatherings may have influenced his findings of fandom as a participatory culture; that media fandom is an ACTIVE forum, not just the passivity of watching a television series. |

| | Furry fandom is usually considered to be a subcategory of Fantasy fandom (fans of fantasy fiction and such), but people sometimes associate it with SF fandom (science- fiction fandom) or Anime fandom (Japanese animation fandom) as well. | | | I wish to restate that these are based on my observations of furry and other fandoms; your milage may vary. | | | This particular tendancy is extremely common in furry fandom (as well as fantasy and role- playing fandoms), and some fans will prefer only to mention their furry name. |

| | Fandom - |
| | Fandom (from the noun fan and the affix -dom, as in kingdom, dukedom, etc.) is a subculture composed by like-minded fans (aficionados) characterized by a feeling of closeness to others who share the same interest (ThorneandBruner 2006). | | | Fandom as a term can also be used to refer to the single interconnected social network of these individual fandoms, many of which overlap. | | | The term "fandom" is particularly associated with fans of the science fiction and fantasy genres, a community that dates back to the 1930s and has held the World Science Fiction Convention since 1939. |
