Ferocious Fandom

If you are not already familiar with what a "Fandom" is, it is a group of people who all adore the same story. That story can be a book, TV show, movie, and anything in-between! It stands for "Fans Kingdom". There in that kingdom, the fans can chatter about their favorites things without being ridiculed or judged.
EVERYONE is accepted in a fandom.
Now think, are you a huge fan of a movie series, book series, or TV series?
If so, then you are part of that fandom. If you ever want to rant about your show, just go online, find a blogging site (I highly recommend Tumblr) and just rant. Your fellow Fandomites will accept you!!
Personally, I am in a lot of Fandoms. I am in the Harry Potter Fandom, The Hunger Games Fandom, Fullmetal Alchemist Fandom, Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra Fandom, and Attack on Titan Fandom. That's a lot of things to be involved in!! but it is so much fun!!
However, I must give you a fair warning, some people can get pretty serious when it comes to who they "ship".
Shipping is the way you and other  people picture the characters in your show in a relationship. Personally, I am a sucker for whatever is canon. "Canon" is the term referring to a relationship that the author/writer/director/whatever originally paired together. For example, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley are "canon". But some people think Harry should've ended up with Hermione. In that case, they ship HarryxHermione together. This IS NOT canon!!! Don't be afraid to express your ships proudly though!!! You can like whatever you like (Like, come on guys. Jinora and Skootchy are TOTALLY adorable together!!!!) Some people will agree and some won't, but you'll always be accepted (well, as long as you accept others, that is...)
SO.
I hope you have realized what Fandoms you are in.
Odds are, you are in one! Don't be afraid! EMBRACE YOUR INNER FAN.
It's alright! Fandoms are quite fun indeed!! :)
