Fandom has come a long way from its roots. Beginning with merchandising from network television shows in the 40s and 50s through mail-order fan clubs to today's cosplay and conventions, people have shown their love and devotion to the creative works of others. While most people think of fandom related to science fiction, we will not limit our discussions. Together we will discuss the current state of fandom, how people interact with fandom and how fandoms continue to thrive in our overstimulated world. Come prepared to discuss your favorite fandom and learn about the fandoms of others.
