Fandom Stalking

It’s where you engage with fan produced content from a specific fandom without ever engaging in the source material directly. A fandom stalker selectively immerses themselves in aspects of a fandom, often becoming familiar with character dynamics, plot arcs, and themes through the lens of other fans.

“I’ve never watched The Last of Us, but I know everything about Ellie and Joel from reading fanfic and watching edits. I guess I’m fandom stalking.”

Fandom Stalking

The act of engaging deeply with fan-produced content—such as fanfiction, fanart, video edits, commentary, and memes—of a specific fandom without having consumed the original source material. A fandom stalker selectively immerses themselves in the emotional and aesthetic aspects of a fandom, often becoming familiar with character dynamics, plot arcs, and themes through the lens of other fans. This form of participation is marked by a pick-and-choose approach: embracing what resonates while intentionally avoiding aspects of the canon that don’t appeal.

Fandom Depression

When fans get so invested in an artist or band, that they fantasize about them so much so, that they fall into an overwhelming depression over not being able to play out that fantasy or be with them.
*Could lead to stalking and obsession to a dangerous level.
**More common among K-pop fans.

I got fandom depression over this K-pop group. I need a break or a cleanse.
