Fantasy fandom is a fandom and commonality of fans of the fantasy genre.[1]
It revolves around popular media franchises belonging to the fantasy genre[2] and can include collective fan works of these fantasy franchises and events that celebrate franchises of the genre[3] as well as characters belonging to that genre.[4]
Examples of fan clubs devoted to stories and franchises of fantasy and include Disneyana fanclub,[5] and The Tolkien Society in appreciation of works by J. R. R. Tolkien.[6]
In more recent times, the development of the Internet has also taken fandom communities online.[7]
