Hi! So today, I will be writing about Fandoms. What is a fandom? How does it all work? You are about to venture into the world of fangirls and boys and have all your questions answered and who knows? Maybe you'll join a fandom too!
A fandom is a group of people who share a genuine interest in something. A movie, a book or a TV show. Anything! They talk on social media and write blogs together all about their fandom and whatever their interest is.
I'm a part of the Percy Jackson and Heroes of Olympus Fandom. I'm obsessed with the book just like my fandom. I like to read Percy Jackson posts and make a few of my own. I also enjoy doing Fan Art. This is drawing characters, scenes or comic strips.
Some fandoms make wikis. I really like the wiki for The Selection by Kiera Cass. Wikis can give information and news on anything related to their fandom. From the main character's parents to extreme spoiler alerts (A good wiki wouldn't do that!), these wikis have it all! Are you a part of a fandom? If you know a lot about it, you should make a wiki.
Some fans like to write fanfictions. These are stories relating to the real movie, TV show, book or anything! They can continue on the life of a character, answer an unanswered question or write an alternate ending. They can be videos or books. I absolutely LOVE fan fictions. I like reading and writing them.
Now, I will write a few steps on how people become ultimate fans.
1. Finding out about the book/movie/TV show/other (For now, I'll just say book but it really can be anything!)
2. Reading the book.
3. Loving the book a lot!
4. Reading the book millions of times.
5. Pre ordering the sequel (if there is one!)
6. Becoming obsessed with the book.
7. Finding out every single detail about the book and its author(s).
8. Crying over dead characters and shipping characters together.
9. Making yourself a real part of the story. For example, in Percy Jackson, fans call themselves "demigods"
10. Getting on social media and finding the fandom.

YOU ARE OFFICIALLY IN THE FANDOM!
And there you have the official ten steps on joining the fandom. They were inspired by Superwoman. But there is a dark side to the fandom.
What happens when people become obsessed with their fandom? It can affect their daily lives greatly. Kids can forget all about their homework while looking at fandom posts. What about using devices in school when not allowed just to read the new fandom's online magazine? And fan art doodles on reports that are handed in late because their parents took a long time to try and erase it off.
Obsessing isn't healthy when you do it too much. Join a fandom but remember to take some time off from it to go outside, do homework and spend time with family.
Thank you very much for reading my post. I really hope that you like it. If you liked it, write a comment, recommend it on Google+ and most of all, please read more! Also, check out my two polls near the bottom of the page. I so far have only one vote on each. Both of them voted by me. Anyways, have a nice day!
