The Daily Fandom Question

What's up guys, I'm so happy right now, I've got my doctor who, walking dead, and Heroes of Olympus book. So I came up with a way we can all communicate with our fandoms and explain why we like them and so and so. For those who don't know what a fandom is, it's the fans of a particular person, team, fictional series, etc., regarded collectively as a community or subculture. Everyday I'll ask a question that not only I will answer but you will as well in detail. I'll try to make a list of all known fandoms when I have the time but if someone else can make it if they have time and nothing to do that would help a lot. I guess it's time to ask the first question.

QUESTION #1: What is your favourite fandom and what makes you like it so much?

For me I've got to stick with my fellow Whovians because when I talk to fellow Whovians they remind of several reincarnations of the doctor. I personally like to think of myself as the 11th doctor just because of how weird and out there I am.

Yeah I love doctor who my fave has got to be the third John Pertwee. But my favorite fandom has got to Batman, I've loved it since watching Batman TAS as a kid and now i get just about every bat series going. Not so found on the movies but most of the animated stuff is pretty cool.
Firefly was a close second ;)

QUESTION 2: What would you say has to be an underrated fandom? What I mean is what which one do you feel doesn't get nearly as much attention even if it's an older one.

Cirque Du Freak is pretty underrated to me, it's a little bit older than most but still an amazing series who had an okay movie and is one of the few that won't allow a happy ending, more of a satisfying one that allowed closure to the readers even if they were still sadden by all the major events throughout the series like I was. It's also one has taught me as a young fiction writer that not every story is allowed the happy ending that is wished for it but is allowed give the readers one last good bye before the end is nigh.

Doctor Who is weird, everyone seems to worship it, but I never got into it. Could you enlighten me on what makes it good enough to be compared to such legendary, classic, and timeless TV series like The Walking Dead?

Now to answer your question: The LoL community. It's filled with inconsiderate rude cunts, shitty memes, and lots of Kappas. I fit in perfectly!

#1 The Fandom of Warhammer 40k
We're a bunch of nerds, who love fantasy sci-fi, not gender-biased totally, and we're usually a nice, but reserved bunch of people.

#2 The Fandom of the Horus Heresy
A sub- fandom of number 1 that half the people exclude due to focusing on Imperial related factions, but still of a really cool subject, with really cool people.

@KayOne it's really not a show for everyone mostly due to the fact that once someone may find a doctor and group of companions they like, they know eventually in a few years they'll be replaced by another mad-man in a box. I loved Matt Smith's 11th doctor due to him just generally not acting like a normal person and being adnormal to a point of alienacy but he was replaced by Peter Capidiles's (can't spell it right) 12th doctor this season. Also I'm a big nerd when it comes to learning about history and science so I naturally like the aspect of it since he may end up from WW2 to the end of the time explaining why it's collapsing in on it self. It makes sense you find it weird and unwatchable just because it doesn't peek your interest like Walking Dead can with so many people (I'm a fan too).

I think Chuck is really underrated. I was really annoyed when it ended. :(

I've read a lot of Darren Shan's stuff and I did like the Cirque du freak series not too fond of the ending or the movie though.
I really liked his short story Koyasan

#2 I think Reaper was really underrated was really sad when it got cancelled.
Not sure if its really underrated but I loved katekyo hitman reborn.

QUESTION 3: Which Book Fandom would you say is the biggest?

While there are some big ones out there like Divergent, Hunger Games, and my favourite Percy Jackson/Heroes of Olympus it's no secret how big Harry Potter is, not only do millions would the books but millions more have gone to watch the movies and then go read the books.

#3 Book Fandom?
I'd have to say Lord of The Rings or Harry Potter as everyone has turned to them when they need a flight of Fantasy.
