Fandom Friday: What Do You Love About Fandom?

I know there is a negative side to fandom which seems to be to pointed out quite regularly. But I wanted to know what do you love about it?

What I love about fandom is sharing my interests with other fans and seeing their opinions whether they differ or not. I love that there is no one way to be a fan or to enjoy fandom. For instance, some fans love to buy as much merchandise as they can while others prefer to only buy a few select items. Meanwhile, there are fans who express their creativity through making art, creating costumes, writing stories and so much more. I love that there are fandom inspired cookbooks for us nerdy foodies who love trying out whimsical recipes and nerdy concoctions. As well as fans creating their own fandom inspired recipes.

I love that fans are creating the types of fandom that they want and are happily celebrating all the things that they love about it. Something I really enjoy is talking and writing about my favorite books, shows, movies, characters, etc. It's one of the things I love about fandom because it allows fans to create their own ideas and to provide their own answers to questions and theories.

To me, it doesn't matter how you were introduced to fandom whether it's from movies, video games, comic books, TV shows, art, etc. all that matters is that it's something you enjoy.
