Fan Communities

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

A Fan Community is a fandom for specific works or people.

A Fan Community will almost always have a Fandom Tic or two to distinguish it. And it's a rare Fan community that doesn't have a Fan Community Nickname.


Examples of Fan Communities include:

Creator Fandoms

  • Travis Willingham fans are usually called the Miniskirt Army, named in reference to one of his hammiest spiels as Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist.
  • Vic Mignogna fans are conversely Risembool Rangers, also named in reference to his role in Fullmetal Alchemist. The Miniskirt Army has a friendly rivalry with the Rangers.
  • raocow fans have a community called Talkhaus.

Anime and Manga Fandoms

  • The =vIRGins= of Revolutionary Girl Utena on Empty Movement may just be one of the last bastions of English-speaking Utena fandom.
  • The Hetalia International Fan Project (H.I.F.P) is an Axis Powers Hetalia group, dedicated to personifying all the countries in the entire world.
    • The Hetalia fandom as a whole often refer to themselves as Hetalians, however. A more recent name is the Hetalia Fandomly.

Literature Fandoms

  • Sherlock Holmes fans are usually Holmesians or Sherlockians, according to personal preference. (Brits lean towards "Holmesian", and Americans prefer "Sherlockians".)
