Fandom is about fandom, it's a great big social club. -- Greg Egan
Fandom can keep something alive, and fandom can take it down. -- Christopher Heyerdahl
Remove every barrier you can to fandom. A fan will be an evangelist for your work. -- Dave Kellett
I think Hollywood has seen what fandom can do for a project. You can definitely see that when you go to Comic-con. -- Felicia Day
With fantasy and sci-fi, it's based in a real fandom. You're presenting to experts, and their source material is really important to them. -- Lena Headey
You'll still get guys with an array of badges to demonstrate their importance, but that just excludes people. I think fandom is more inclusive now. -- Charles Stross
My goal with every show we put on Geek & Sundry is to make it that big of a success, not just within the video but within fandom itself. -- Felicia Day
Lord Of The Rings' fandom was massive, worldwide, entrenched. Generally it had been part of the fans' life all their life, because they had it read to them as children; they'd become Tolkien students. -- John Noble
I wrote so much about fandom and participation for NPR that I eventually realized my most fertile way of participating in music is to actually play it, at least in a way that made the most sense to me. -- Carrie Brownstein
Right from the outset, the prevailing mindset in British comics fandom was a radical and progressive one. We were all proto-hippies, and we all thought that comics would be greatly improved if everything was a bit psychedelic like Jim Steranko. -- Alan Moore
For film and television, it's interesting how fans feel that their particular ways of manifesting their affections are the correct ones. It's not just about being a fan, it's about how you perform your fandom. That's always been interesting to me. -- Carrie Brownstein
Pop culture has entered into a nostalgic malaise. Online culture is dominated by trivial mashups of the culture that existed before the onset of mashups, and by fandom responding to the dwindling outposts of centralized mass media. It is a culture of reaction without action. -- Jaron Lanier
Fandom, after all, is born of a balance between fascination and frustration: if media content didn't fascinate us, there would be no desire to engage with it; but if it didn't frustrate us on some level, there would be no drive to rewrite or remake it. -- Henry Jenkins
Just because you're part of 'Twilight' does not mean you're a superstar. It means that you're given the opportunity to maybe become one later if you work hard. Once fandom goes away, which it will very soon, it's all about having your priorities straight and working hard. -- Nikki Reed
Tim Thornton's portrait of a pop culture obsession is so convincing that one can't help wishing that his fictional alt rock band actually existed, or suspecting that they did. The Alternative Hero is a weirdly compelling portrait of fanatic fandom which reads like High Fidelity at high volume. -- Jay McInerney
I chose not to jump into the media frenzy and defend myself, though I was begged to be on every single TV show in existence. They want to blame entertainment? Isn't religion the first real entertainment? People dress up in costumes, sing songs and dedicate themselves in eternal fandom. -- Marilyn Manson
To be a fan is to be curious, and to be curious is to have openness. Part of being a fan is to allow 360 degress of experience - to immerse without judgment. It's like a really fearless step forward into new experience. There's something that feels very timeless about fandom. -- Carrie Brownstein
I will openly admit that I've never really followed hockey. Given my New England upbringing, I have always adhered to the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins mantra of professional sports fandom, but hockey was definitely the lowest sport on the totem pole - even when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup. -- Rachel Nichols
A big part of making music is the discovery aspect, is the surprise aspect. That's why I think I'll always love sampling. Because it involves combining the music fandom: collecting, searching, discovering music history, and artifacts of recording that you may not have known existed and you just kind of unlock parts of your brain, you know? -- Gotye
When you cross over on fandoms, people don't know what to do with themselves. -- Maisie Williams
