Fandom Forward

Fandom Forward formerly called HP Alliance, it is a international 501c3 non-profit organization. Even after the name change, it remains a prime example of Fan Activism, where fans unite to enact real changes in the world.
==Mission Statement==
MEET FANDOM FORWARD
For over 15 years we’ve turned fans into heroes as The Harry Potter Alliance. Now we’re entering a new era as Fandom Forward. 
The Harry Potter Alliance was founded with a simple idea: what if fans used their passion and creativity to make the world a more loving, equitable place? That idea has driven hundreds of thousands of fan activists to do exactly that, and the world is demonstrably better for it. 
But this place we’ve built? It doesn’t belong to just one fandom. No singular story can hope to represent every time, every question, or every lived experience. This movement is for anyone who believes in the power of stories and the communities that love them to change the world. It’s for everyone, and our name should reflect that. So on June 8th, 2021 we officially changed our name to Fandom Forward. 
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated an already rising tide of disinformation campaigns and fear-based, ultra conservative leaders whose message is grounded in white supremacy and oppression of people of color, women, and LGBTQIA+ people. It’s an onslaught that has led the United States and much of the world to high levels of division, disinformation, and trauma. We desperately need a revitalization of civic imagination, and we know fan activism can rise to this challenge. 
The stories we love bring us together, but the story of our world? That’s up to us.

* In 2023, Fandom Forward started a podcast hosted by Sabrina Cartan called Shireside Chats, which was shortly renamed to Fandom Made Me.

Fandom Grandma (Dee)

Fandom Grandma was a Star Trek fan. She was active with fanworks and cons from when the show was first on the air in the late 1960s. According to her own words: "1984 was my last active year with working cons and contributing slash to print.... by late 1986 I was out of active fandom altogether, and not even buying zines anymore." from a comment at Spockslash 
She is not be confused with either of the Dee Beetems.
Twenty-five years later, she rediscovered fandom. When she was 77 years old, she created the Tumblr blog Spockslash, and was very active with fans regarding her time in fandom, and with comments about art.
See her interview: Fandom Grandma: From my chat with a journalist.

Fandom Is A Way Of Life

Fandom Is a Way of Life, usually abbreviated to FIAWOL, was originally used to describe what one thought about fandom (as opposed to FIJAGH, or "Fandom Is Just a Goddamned Hobby"). Over the years the acronym has shifted to become an adjective people use to describe themselves and their relationship with fandom: "We tried living together, but I'm FIAWOL, and she's FIJAGH - it just didn't work out." 
It can be somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but there's generally a strong element of truth in it. Someone who is FIAWOL invests the majority of their time and energy on fandom and fannish pursuits, often making long-term commitments (e.g., running a convention, being a usenet/mailing list/community/forum moderator for years, etc.), and forming their strongest social bonds through fandom. 
Many people shift back and forth between the two extremes as interest waxes and wanes, and as time allows; many also exist fairly steadily somewhere in the middle.
The term originated in Science Fiction Fandom.FIAWOL. Answers.com (accessed 16 August 2009)

Fandom Is Just A Goddamn Hobby

Fandom Is Just a Goddamn Hobby, usually abbreviated to FIJAGH, was originally used to describe what one thought about fandom (as opposed to FIAWOL, or "Fandom Is a Way of Life"). Over the years the acronym has shifted to become an adjective people use to describe themselves and their relationship with fandom: "We tried living together, but she's FIAWOL, and I'm FIJAGH - it just didn't work out." 
Someone who is FIJAGH has a fairly casual relationship with fandom, dipping in and out and generally not interested in helping to create fannish infrastructure. FIJAGH folks don't generally volunteer to help with cons, or moderate discussion forums, or run fic challenges, etc. They simply enjoy participating when the mood strikes, but easily move on to other interests. 
Many people shift back and forth between the two extremes as interest waxes and wanes, and as time allows; many also exist fairly steadily somewhere in the middle.
The term originated in Science Fiction Fandom, in response to FIAWOL.

Fandom Migration

Fandom Migration refers to the mass movement of fans between communication platforms. Migration can occur due to advances in technology and natural shifts in what fans want from their social networks. It can also occur more suddenly and distressingly when fans feel that they are no longer welcome on certain platforms.
Specifically, fandom migration has been used to describe the move from print to net in the early 90s, from mailing lists to Yahoo! Groups in the late 90s, from Y!Groups to LiveJournal/Fanfiction.net in the 2000s (See The Impact of Blogging on Fandom for a more in depth look), and from LiveJournal to Tumblr in the 2010s.Twitter is generally not included, though has experienced more observable fannish use at the same time as Tumblr.
Many may also use the term to discuss the shift from Delicious to Pinboard for fannish bookmarks in 2011. 
Migration for specific fannish output occurs in smaller amounts, but does happen, such as the 2010s move to AO3 for fanfiction, and the late 2000s move to Dreamwidth for roleplayers. 
The Tumblr NSFW Content Purge‎ sparked new conversations about fandom migration. Some suggested the need for A Network Of Our Own.
After Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter/X in 2022, many fans intended to migrate again and looked for Twitter alternatives, such as Bluesky, Cohost, and Mastodon. Fandom has now spread to more microblogging websites in disparate amounts, though it is still very much present on Twitter.
