Fandom 

The microcosm made up of people who are fans of a fiction genre, or of a subgenre, who have their own clubs, conventions and amateur magazines (fanzines), dating back (in some cases) to the early 1930s. Some of these are overlapping. Star Trek fandom, for example, started in science fiction fandom and eventually became a separate fandom on its own. Comics fandom and even rock (music) fandom also started there before becoming separate entities.

Harry published one of the best fanzines in fandom back in the 1930s.

Fanatic domain. Yeah. That's actually how the word got started. It's not a kingdom, sorry guys.

Guy 1: Doesn't fandom stand for "fan kingdom?"
Me: No, it's fanatic domain.
Guy 1: Well that makes a lot more sense.

Fandom 

A fandom is simply the definition of selling your soul to the devil. It's unreversible. Choose your fandom(s) wisely.

Know that when you join a fandom, people will have many different opinions like per say twenty one pilots. When fanfictions are written for the fandom, it sparks controversy due to people thinking Josh tops or Tyler tops. (Warning: if you join the TØP fandom, you will become trash. If you are already trash, you will become ever more irrelevant because this fandom is time consuming. Say goodbye to any other social life that isn't within the fandom)

But in short that's not so short, a fandom is a community of people who come together that have a common interest. Pretty much the fanbase of a book/movie/show/band

Fun Fact!: a bandom is a combination of band and fandom, together making bandom so if you like P!ATD or PTV then you're apart of the bandom

"The tøp fandom is so overrated..."
" My fandom makes the most smut fanfics

It's like a club built on the internet that celebrates a specific topic, except thousands of people join it, and most of them don't even know what the others look like in real life. It also completely destroys your life. Here are some symptoms of a fangirl/fanboy:

You find yourself locked in your room for several days
Your room is suddenly covered in posters
You find yourself reading fanfiction
You realise that you're yelling at someone because they didn't understand your fandom and accidentally insulted it
You notice that you're crying because a relationship you wanted to happen was made impossible because one or more decided to pair up with someone else (please refer to shipping.)

Please, for your own sake, don't join any fandoms. I guarantee that it will destroy your life, then kill you slowly with feels. Then again, you don't really choose the fandom. THE FANDOM CHOOSES YOU, AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.

I have been in the Attack On Titan fandom for several months now. Please save me. Find a way for me to get out. HELP!!
