Those in this segment, chiefly in the United States, who were more or less committed to the genre developed and nurtured an entity known as "fandom." Fandom, at first, it could be said, was only a constituency that was to be catered to by publishers of science fiction in the form of books, magazines, pulps, comic books, etc. Later this range expanded with the advent of theatrical and television science fiction. The members of fandom, fans, devoured all the science fiction they could get. For some it was not enough. Fandom as it is known today is enamored with clubs, fanzines, and conventions. Of course, the basis shall always be in the genre"...[snipped] An inspection of the peculiar use of language, some may call it parlance or slang, would reveal a few of the characteristics of fandom. The remainder of this article shall attempt to superficially look at "fanspeak" with the aid of a certainly deficient list of the interesting, and oftentimes colorful, fabricated terms and words.")
