Hello guys, I want to ask a little favor. For my universal culture class final I’ve decided to work on fandom culture. So it would help me loads if you could give me a few minutes of your day and please share with me (in a paragraph or two) about what fandom means to you, what it’s brought to your life and the importance this subculture has for you. (Please add your first name, age and nationality if you are comfortable with it.)
It doesn’t matter what particular fandom you are in, it’s all one big subculture, and we all belong in a number of fandoms.
It would help me a lot!
-Cherry ♥
PS. I have been super busy lately and I have a few messages I need to respond to as well as some comments I've got to make, I'll get right to it as soon as I'm done with finals.

Being a part of a fandom, as others have said before, is being part of a community. It's a great way to meet people and make friends, especially for those folks that may have more trouble putting themselves out there than others. We're not all extroverts, you know? You could make a longtime friend, life partner, or an enemy - fandoms have the same social ups and downs, as well as their own sets of rules, as any other community we as humans form. It's all about connections. I've met some of my best friends through fandoms, as well as some folks I will never want to see again. How do you connect with someone? Figure out what you have in common with them. Find where you agree and where you disagree. Can you get along with them? How well? It's not a process we often think about, but there's a certain amount of getting-to-know-you banter we all do when we meet someone new that interests us.
I am a music teacher for students from Kindergarten to High School and I adore my job. As a teacher, one of my goals (in addition to teaching music) is forming a connection with my students. I want to get to know them as young people and help them grow and to learn to take on this big world. In my classes, we learn about music, history, reading, math, science - as well as cooperation, problem solving, sharing, taking turns, respecting each other, expressing how you feel, and much more. I like to make it a game and have fun while we learn. By having fun and expressing ourselves, I get to know my students and what they like. I find that some of them are young nerdlings like I used to be - quiet, a bit insecure, yet fascinated with fandoms. Once, I snuck up on a kid who had drawn a Hollow mask from Bleach on a notebook. "Hey, nice Hollow mask." I said. He did a triple take, I was the only one around that could have said it and I was dressed in my good teacher clothes. After that, we talked about anime every time we crossed paths. I don't look like a nerd when I teach, but my students have figured me out over the years. Now, the kids that are quiet and introverted in other classes, are singing loud and proud in choir. It makes me happy that they feel my classroom is a safe place for them to be themselves and express what they like. Not only that, but I try to show all of my students that it's ok to be a nerd about something - to love it passionately and enthusiastically, even if it might be perceived as "weird" or "silly" by other social norms. I try to be myself with things that I fangirl about to them (Like the complete analysis of the Lord of the Rings musical scores with foreword by Howard Shore book I bought myself last Christmas. SQUEE!!!), I want to show them that's ok to be different (a bit weird, too) and what really matters is what makes you happy and helps you grow. We're all a fan of something, we can all agree on that. Embrace it and be yourself because you're awesome!
(Also, a lot of teachers are secretly cool and nerdy.
