Fangirl Happy Hour

Fangirl Happy Hour is a fandom discussion podcast hosted by Renay and Ana.
On April 30, 2023, Renay announced the "end of an era" of said podcast through a special episode - which was actually the end of Volume I, citing various reasons behind the change, one of them the creative vigor the duo once enamored on earlier episodes before #137; near the end of said episode, they also hinted towards Volume II, with "new hosts, new music, and new experiences to ponder upon", according to her.

Fangirl Japanese

A disparaging term used to describe the gratuitous (and often incorrect) use of whatever Japanese words a manga or anime fan has picked up. It usually refers to fanfiction, which explains the gendered term, as fanfic is often assumed to be a primarily female activity. In contexts involving more male fans, the term "fanboy Japanese" is sometimes used instead.
==Early Usage==
In the early days of the recent boom in Western anime and manga fandoms, this term generally labeled the use of extremely simple and ungrammatical Japanese, for example demo (but) and ano (um/well/excuse me). The words used this way were those that fans completely unfamiliar with Japanese could pick up from context and repetition. Some others in this group are kawaii (cute/adorable) and yatta (yay). The way this Japanese was used often displayed an incomplete understanding of the words, for example using a pronoun such as temee with "a" or "the", as if it were a noun.
Some fandoms where this usage of "fangirl japanese" was deployed: Gundam Wing, Ranma 1/2. 
See Miki's essay KOI - Mein Freund, der KarpfenMiki. KOI - Mein Freund, der Karpfen, 22 March 2003. (Accessed 03 November 2009) and the linked discussion at the bottom of the page for usuage of fangirl Japanese in German anime and manga fandom.
==Diverging Usage==
As Western anime and manga fandoms have grown, and many of the fans involved have gained a greater familiarity with Japanese, and more diverse opinions on what kind of Japanese is or is not appropriate in English fic, this term has been used in new ways.
*Some fans use this label for any use of Japanese at all, feeling that a story written in English should translate everything. The Fullmetal Alchemist fandom contains a significant faction of fans who call any use of Japanese, including titles, fangirl japanese.
*Some fans refer to any extended use of Japanese, for example a sentence or more, as fangirl japanese, even if it is grammatical and glossed in the story's fore- or after-word.
*Some fans continue to use the term to refer to simple and inexpert use of Japanese. This may include Japanese that is grammatical but not contextually appropriate (e.g. having a street kid talk like the polite businessman in your introductory Japanese textbook).
Given the pejorative implications of this term, the increasingly varied usage has led to increasingly varied conflicts as fans take exception to the suggestion that the use of Japanese they have chosen is gratuitous or incorrect.

Fanhistory (glossary term)

Fanhistory is a science fiction fandom term for the history of fandom. (accessed 1 October 2018) Literary SF fandom in particular has a long tradition of fanhistorians writing articles and books, some professionally published, about fandom history. Later fan communities have also recorded their own history, but are less likely to refer to it as fanhistory.
Fans also enjoy discussing their personal histories with fandom.
==Early SF Fanhistory==
Probably the first fanhistorian was Jack Speer, who wrote a fanzine article called "Up to Now" in 1939. In 1939 there were approximately nine whole years of history to document. The article introduced the numbered fandoms system for identifying distinct periods in the evolution of fandom. Fans frequently used the system to label themselves by the era in which they entered fandom.
==Primary Sources==
Some sources used by fanhistorians:
*personal recollection
*correspondence/interviews
*memoirs published by fans
*oral histories
*fanzines and newsletters
*con reports and con program books
*libraries
===Online Sources===
The Internet has been hosting fan activity since the 1980s, as well as being a way to share information about both offline and online fandom. Fanworks and discussions hosted on the Web are often a window into the past (for as long as the site stays up).

Fanime

Fanime, officially FanimeCon, is an annual San Francisco Bay Area anime convention first held in 1994. It features panels, a game room, an artist alley, cosplay, and many other fan activities common to anime conventions. Since 2004 it has been held at San Jose McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California.
== #FailedByFanime ==
In February of 2024, a number of convention staff quit, creating the #FailedByFanime movement. They called for a boycott of Fanime, citing poor treatment and mishandling of sexual assault and sexual harassment reports. In March 2024, the Board of Directors issued a public statement, and in April, they revised the code of conduct to be more clear. #FailedByFanime feels there is more to be done.

Fanlisting

A fanlisting is just what it sounds like: a list of fans of a particular thing. In media fandom, the topic is usually a source (book, show, movie), character, pairing, or actor. Fans wishing to be listed enter their name into an online form and are provided an image "button" to place on their website. Members are generally required to give their country as well, so the list can be sorted geographically.
The Fanlistings Network, often referred to as TFL, is a massive directory of fanlistings. Founded in May 2000,TFL: About & FAQ. Accessed December 01, 2009 it boasts a list of thousands of fanlistings. Its splinter and now partner site, The Anime Fanlistings Network, specializes in anime- and manga-based fanlistings.
Fanlisting sites sometimes host fanart, fanfic, or essays in addition to just listing fans.
Less common are "hatelistings", for people to express their dislike of a certain thing.
==Examples==
Fanlistings:
* Eternal Snow, for the anime & manga series Full Moon wo Sagashite, with 3,215 members as of May 2009
* Patronus - the Harry Potter fanlisting for the Harry Potter books, with roughly 24,500 members as of May 2009.
* Prince Charming, for the actor Alexis Denisof, with 1,295 members as of May 2009.
* Zutto, for the pairing Kinomoto Sakura/Li Syaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura and Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, with 2,181 members as of May 2009
* Avada-Kedavra by Banshee hosted a variety of fanlistings in various fandoms between 2003-2007 before deciding to focus on site hosting.
* While it isn't specifically called a fanlisting, the community fandom_counts on Livejournal is basically a fanlisting of LJ-based fandom (right down to using more than three dozen languages on its user profile page to show its international nature). fandom_counts was set up in response to Strikethrough. 
Hatelistings:
* Superficiality, hatelisting for the pairing of Seifer/Quistis from Final Fantasy VIII
* I Chose Not To Read, a hatelisting for slash fanfiction

Fanlore (glossary term)

Fanlore is a fannish term with a meaning similar to fanon (if developed by or agreed upon by many fans) or headcanon (if developed by one fan). As of 2020, it is currently in use in some parts of fandom on twitter. It may be more prevalent in gaming communities, where "fan lore" is differentiated from the "official lore" put out by the game developer.

==Notes by Megan Kent==
"Subject: How I got in fandom
Started in 1953, I was born. Been a fan all my life, discovered slash in 1993 (3rd season HL) when we got our first computer and one of my daughters dared me to do an internet search (because I'd never used the computer before). I searched for the word Highlander and found more than 5000 hits. She said "Mom you need to refine your search" so I did "Methos" and found all these websites that contained in the description "slash." I had no idea what slash meant, clicked on one that turned out to be the Horsegirls (I think). It was a website for 4 horsemen slash. My first slash story ever was about Methos being raped by Kronos. I shut the computer down, positive that the police were going to show up at my doorstop any minute. Didn't return to the computer for a whole week, sure that someone would come arrest me. And when no one showed up at my door, I decided to try again.
I read all the stories at that archive, went on to read more and I have been a dark slash fan ever since. End of story. 
These days, in fandom, I'm an author, avid reader, and past member of the Bascon committee (#1-7)."

"Keiko Kirin re: JKL
I had been viding with Jill since 1995 (with VCRs). I lived in NYC, Lynne C. moved to NJ, and she had been viding with Gayle F and with the Media Cannibals, and now she was doing vids by herself. 
The origin of JKL is that I did a vid with Lynne C. (Loveshack, a multi-media vid, and a HL vid. That was around 1996-1997. Then in 1998, I moved to California where Jill was living. Lynne moved to California shortly thereafter. J=Jill, K=Keiko/Kay, L=Lynne. I think the first vid we made all 3 of us was My Generation (Buffy, on VCRs). Then we made a Once a Thief vid called When I'm Up I Can't get Down. That was the last vid we made on a VCR. 
Lynne then built a vidding computer. Then we made She's Moved On (another Buffy vid). After that, the three of us didn't make a lot of vids together (for a variety of reasons), but Jill & Lynn & Sandy made a Roswell vid. 
After that we started doing more solo vids, or in twosomes, then Lynne moved away. Then Jill & I started vidding with Kathy, who had been vidding with Morgan Dawn. Kathy built a vidding computer, so when we started vidding with Kathy, we only made computer vids. The first one was a Stargate SG-1 vid called: Friction. That's kind of the origin of JKL. 
It was loose, and happened organically. We'd all been vidding on our own, then because we were close, we started working together. It wasn't like we planned it or anything. We didn't even have a name for ourselves until we decided to put out a video tape of our vids, and tried to think of what to call it, and that's were we came up with JKL. Then, because we didn't have enough vids to fill entire tape, we roped in some other people who contributed vids, which is how it became JKL and Friends. 
When we got a website, and put our vids online, we became known as Pteropus because that is our domain name. It means flying fox. We've noticed that people call us Pteropus."

==Notes by Elanor Graves==
In the early to mid 90s, I was involved in an online group called PSP (?).
I attended FrisCon in 97 and there was a panel: the topic was "Can two guys do that?: 101 questions you have about gay sex...". But the at this con, there were no boys. I realised there is something I could contribute. So I spent the winter creating Minotaur Sex Tips for slash writer.
The next con I went to had a panel called Gay Boy Tells All.
Panels I attended: FrisCon, Bascon, Escapade, Con.text, Connexions (1998- 2004), and Zcon.
