With its possibilities for blogging, the internet is a great platform for sharing the things you are passionate about. You can write about food or books for sport, for instance, and share your thoughts with others who have similar interests. These days, fans of certain movies or television shows don't even have to go to conventions anymore to meet like-minded individuals. You can simply share your passion online with a blog for fandoms.
There is a fandom for almost everything under the sun. You'll find ones for specific sports teams, for bands, for movies and TV shows and even for books. Fans of a certain author will have their own fandom and there are also ones for specific genres, for instance Japanese manga. A fandom can be quite organized, with its own fanzine, website and events. You'll also find that some fans take their passion very seriously, to the point of obsession.
A great example of how devoted fans can be is the phenomenon known as Trekkies. These are fans of 'Star Trek', the television series from the Sixties which led to follow-up series and films. Trekkies have their own salute and often come together at large conventions where they can meet their favorite stars from the series. The most devoted Trekkies can speak Klingon fluently, which is quite a feat, considering that it is an invented language.
Just like you can prefer either the Porsche or the Ferrari, you can prefer the Enterprise or the Millennium Falcon. Those who opt for the latter are 'Star Wars' fans. These are people who won't think twice about paying several thousand dollars for an original figurine or Storm Trooper helmet. They also have a fondness for light sabers.
Some people don't like sports cars but prefer something with more character. In science fiction fandom terms, these are the people who prefer the Serenity, the spaceship from the series 'Firefly'. This was a so-called space Western that lasted only one season but got fans as famous as the gang from 'The Big Bang Theory'. 'Firefly' fans are called Browncoats and they often take part in charity events, raising large amounts of money. They will also tell you all about the wonders of the Jayne hat.
Fantasy has earned quite some devoted fandoms too. Among these are the devoted 'Game of Thrones' fans who can draw you a map of the fictional Westeros, tell you which character belongs to which house and name each house's symbol. They may even say a few phrases in Dothraki, a language that George R. R. Martin invented when he wrote the books.
Terry Pratchett's 'Discworld' series of novels also has its dedicated fans. These people tend to have a quirky sense of humor, just like that displayed in Pratchett's novels. For instance, in the novels there is often reference to a song known as 'The Hedgehog Song'. Fans of the series came up with their own lyrics to this fictional song.
If you're a devoted fan of something, find blogs about it and share your thoughts in the comments sections. Otherwise, create a blog of your own. You may even opt for something very specific, such as recipes for foods mentioned in a series or instructions for making costumes.
