👩‍🦯The Blind Fraggle<p>One type of fanfic I like is where 2 characters that either rarely/never interact in canon or don't get along have a moment of connection.

Flipboard Culture Desk<p>The term "fan" to mean avid supporter only came into popular use in the 19th century. Before that, words like "kranks," "habitués" and "lions" were used. There were even equivalents of today's fandoms that focus on a specific performer (like Swifties and Cumberbitches) in the form of Lisztians, who loved the composer Franz Liszt. Atlas Obscura spoke with Daniel Cavicchi, an American Studies scholar, about the history of fans and the words we've used to describe them. “How you name yourself says a lot about what you think of yourself and your very intense passions,” Cavicchi says. “But at the same time, another name or variation on the name, or another use of your name, maybe in a derogatory sense, may say something about what the culture thinks about you.”</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/F1tS5z" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/F1tS5z</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Etymology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Etymology</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Fandoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fandoms</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Words</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>

👩‍🦯The Blind Fraggle<p>That's 2 people I talked to tonight who said they still chose to rely on other platforms because their fandoms aren't represented enough, or at all, here. That's why I want to see more people here, and the fandomy people that are already here be louder and more active. <a href="https://fandom.ink/tags/Fandom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fandom</span></a> <a href="https://fandom.ink/tags/Fandoms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fandoms</span></a></p>
👩‍🦯The Blind Fraggle<p>I want to see something. Everyone respond to this with one fandom you like. Anyone who likes the same fandom can favorite that comment. Comment multiple times if you want, but please only one fandom per comment.
