Use A Blog For Fandoms To Share Your Particular Passion by Etta Bowen One of the great things about the internet is that it makes it so easy for like-minded people to come together. In the past, you'd have to go to a specially organized convention to meet people who share your particular passion. Now you can share your thoughts in the comments section of other people's blogs or you can write your own blog for fandoms and invite comments from others. Name it and there will be a fandom for it. It can be a band, a sports team, a movie, a television series or a book. It can even be a genre, such as manga from Japan. Many fans share their passion through newsletters and fanzines. Others create events where you may meet the objects of your passion. Some fans are so enthusiastic that they may seem a little crazy. One of the best examples of a fandom is the group of people who call themselves Trekkies. They're devoted to 'Star Trek' and will probably be able to tell you the plot of any episode of this series about the crew of the Starship Enterprise. They even have a special salute and the ones that are really devoted are fluent in Klingon. Fans of 'Star Wars' are just as devoted as Trekkies. There is even a bit of a rivalry between the two groups. 'Star Wars' fans may be a little more activity-oriented, though. After all, one has to be strong enough to lift a light saber and use it effectively. In addition, few people are as willing to fork out several months' rent for a figurine of a Storm Trooper as true 'Star Wars' fans are. The 'space Western' series 'Firefly' was canceled after only one season. However, it garnered a huge cult following and its fans are known as Browncoats, after the name for the group of fighters that their heroes used to belong to. A famous fictional Browncoat is Dr Sheldon Cooper of 'The Big Bang Theory'. Browncoats often take part in charity drives and a popular accessory is a homemade 'Jayne hat' like the one that the character of Jayne wore in one episode. 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. Another fantasy series that has dedicated fans is 'Discworld', the comical novels by Terry Pratchett. These fans normally have a very good sense of humor to go with the books and their quirky characters. Pratchett often mentioned something called 'The Hedgehog Song' in his books and fans then made up hilarious lyrics to this non-existent song. If you've found the fandom of your choice, a good way to indulge in your passion is to comment on blogs about it. Alternatively, create your own blog. Make it an interesting one that stands out from the rest. For instance, offer instructions on how to knit a Jayne hat if you're a Browncoat or provide online lessons in Dothraki.
