An Informative Blog For Fandoms

By Leslie Ball


Movies, fiction books, comics, and many others survive because of fans. Authors, film makers, and artists get a wide fan base because many people like to escape from the realities of life. They are certainly transported to other dimensions once they get engrossed in reading their favorite science fiction books, watching their most awaited vampire movies, or flipping on nicely illustrated comic books.

Reviews and posts on social media contribute to the popularity of these materials. Authors, writers, artists, and publishers are given a break because of repeated public exposure. The more people talk about them and their works, the closer they are to success. A blog for fandoms stated that the fans, who form a sort of cult, are the main reasons why celebrities and public figures achieve the position that they have in the industry they are in.

One of the most complex ways for celebrities to become famous is to get the public to like them. This sounds really simple but it is never easy to please other people with different interests and preferences. Public figures have their own charms and magic whenever they release their works or show themselves to the public. Fans form communities physically or virtually to connect with other fan bases all over the world.

Books and comics are now turned into movies. The fans become frantic every time there is a movie adaptation. They talk about it in groups, comment on videos, and even get in a fight in the whole process. Sometimes they come to a point of criticizing the directors and producers for not reaching their expectations. They often revolt if their favorite books and comics are not given justice.

Hence, writers and directors have to make it a point that they are creating a masterpiece that will satisfy the taste of their target audience. Otherwise, they will only lose support but also millions of dollars. Artists will have to always remember that the fans are the reason why they are making millions.

It is not such a bad thing being a fan. As a matter of fact, it is nice to have an inspiration to work hard, study hard, or achieve dreams. Some of the most notable directors, authors, illustrators, and artists have been fans as well. Hence, they also had their own inspirations prior to the fame that they are enjoying at the moment.

If the fans are capable of helping celebrities build their names, they are also capable of destroying them. If there are fans, there will always be haters as well. These haters will bash an artist or a particular masterpiece and the fandoms are there to defend them. It is continuous war of preferences and it never ends.

These people are often online. They do so in order to keep on touch with one another so that they can be updated of the events of the life of their idol. They also monitor hateful comments and opinions of others against their idol so that they can respond immediately or defense.

Some are disturbing because they do not choose their words and even use inappropriate language. Sadly, social media is still not capable of filtering the contents of these opinions and comments. It is okay to devote time on works and celebrities to keep track of the events of their lives provided that these so called fandoms also keep track of their schools or work.
