Fan Communities
A Fan Community is a fandom for specific works or people.
A Fan Community will almost always have a Fandom Tic or two to distinguish it. And it's a rare Fan community that doesn't have a Fan Community Nickname.
Examples of Fan Communities include:
Creator Fandoms
- Travis Willingham fans are usually called the Miniskirt Army, named in reference to one of his hammiest spiels as Roy Mustang in Fullmetal Alchemist.
- Vic Mignogna fans are conversely Risembool Rangers, also named in reference to his role in Fullmetal Alchemist. The Miniskirt Army has a friendly rivalry with the Rangers.
- raocow fans have a community called Talkhaus.
Anime and Manga Fandoms
- The =vIRGins= of Revolutionary Girl Utena on Empty Movement may just be one of the last bastions of English-speaking Utena fandom.
- The Hetalia International Fan Project (H.I.F.P) is an Axis Powers Hetalia group, dedicated to personifying all the countries in the entire world.
- The Hetalia fandom as a whole often refer to themselves as Hetalians, however. A more recent name is the Hetalia Fandomly.
Literature Fandoms
- Sherlock Holmes fans are usually Holmesians or Sherlockians, according to personal preference. (Brits lean towards "Holmesian", and Americans prefer "Sherlockians".)
Live-Action TV Fandoms
- Doctor Who Fans (also known as Whovians).
- Leverage has the Grifters.
- Trekkers, also known as Trekkies.
- Farscape has 'Scapers.
Web Comic Fandoms
