If you don’t know what a fandom is here is a brief introduction and some simple steps on how to join:

Do you ever find that when you talk about doctor who or your favourite film/TV show that everyone around you tunes out? Even your friends? – but don’t worry you are not alone, this happens to so many people. Fandoms- communities built up of fans the come together to share their love of their idols, when their friends and family will not. So how do you join and what do you do in a fandom?

Step 1. You're probably browsing the internet bored stiff, but then you notice something…

You see gushing posts/ tweets and re-posts of GIFs by fans of their favourite book, film or TV show.

Step 2. At first you roll your eyes, because you can’t think that what all these people are raving about can be so great.

Step 3. Although your own curiosity gets the better of you, so you can’t help but look at what all the ‘hullabaloo’ is about.

(And at this point is your last chance to turn back before it’s too late.)

Step 4.then it begins when you read the first few pages of that fantastic book or the first few episodes of that amazing show you have been ignoring.

Step 5. After a while you realize that you are trapped and that there is no exit to your fandom and you begin to regret not joining in the first place.

Step 6. You then try to drag your friends and family into your fandom.

Step 7. And finally you begin to wonder if other people  think that you are crazy.

 

So Wednesday the 1^st of April 2015 will be the day to put on your fezes, to pull out your wands and kill dragons… happy fandom day to all...
