Word: interfandom Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From inter- + fandom. 1. Occurring within or involving multiple fandoms. Labels: not-comparable Example: The widespread interfandom jargon of one's fic being "Jossed" (or invalidated by new canon material, a term derived from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon), or for elements of a still-incomplete fanfic to be negated or rendered implausible by the development of the canon text, speaks to the creative stakes in authoring fan texts that strive for fidelity.

Word: intrafandom Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From intra- + fandom. 1. Occurring within or part of fandom, especially a single one. Labels: not-comparable Example: When the 2010 TV.com poll declared that Supernatural had the craziest fans, perverse enough to make someone want to "claw their eyes out", some fans proceeded to demonize segments of the fandom for doing it wrong. Not all fans indulged in intrafandom wank, however. Example: Like Hills (2002) has pointed out, there are norms to adhere to also within the fan community, and there are hierarchies too. "Good" fan practice thus exists internally as well as externally. The intrafandom boundaries built around what is “good” or “bad” fan practice are not different from dominant-cultural boundary building—which seems to imply that “the natural order of things” seeps into the fan culture and provides a wider structure to adhere to.
