Line 5:
These are the sacred cows that can either be worshiped, or turned into burgers, depending on how one feels. They can also become Shibboleths used to separate the "true" fans from the posers, at least at first. When the posers catch on, though, the [[Fandom Tic]] might become incorporated into a stereotype for that kind of Fan.
 
Covers a multitude of sins, including [[Memetic Mutation|memes]], [[Catch Phrase]]s, [[Memetic Hand Gesture]]s, [[Sein Language]], internally-originating [[Fan Community Nicknames]], and [[Cosplay]]. When combined with [[Fan Fiction]], it can overlap into [[The Stations of the Canon]] and result in [[Fandom-Specific Plot]]s, for both of which it is a [[Super-Trope]].
 
Please add examples under the medium of the original work or creator the fan follows, not the form of the tic.
