Fandom.ink

fandom.ink is a pan-fandom Mastodon instance, one of the first to be formed in the wake of the Tumblr NSFW Content Purge. It was founded and is run by a single admin, alis.
The community's About page describes it as follows:
The server has an application process for new accounts, along with a guide to help people complete it successfully. However, new account creation is currently turned off except for by invitation from an existing fandom.ink user, due to the surge of fans relocating from Twitter.
==Policies==
fandom.ink permits adult and erotic content as long as it is clearly marked and warned-for, with the exception of adult avatars and profile banners, which must be all-ages. However, erotic content on the instance is expected to be primarily of a fannish nature. In addition, depictions of actual sex acts are not permitted on public timelines (but linking to this content, e.g. as a rec, is allowed with appropriate warnings).
Uncut spoilers without appropriate warnings are not permitted in public timelines (the server Code of Conduct does not specify what is considered a spoiler).
On 2nd July 2024, mod alis updated the instance rules to specify that posting and engaging with AI-generated content is against fandom.ink's Code of Conduct:

Fandom: A Neofan's View

Fandom: A Neofan's View is a 1978 essay by Judith Hanhisalo.
It was printed in Spectrum #38.
It was printed as a response to Jeff Johnston's essay The Glory and the Dream.
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the stages of fandom: "1) First Steps or "We have to go home now so you can watch what?" 2) Getting Involved or "Can you imagine: these were actually written by fans?" 3) Conventions or "Wow, look at all those other people who are as crazy as I am" 4) Contributing or "Do you suppose I could do that, too?" and 5) The Death of Fandom or "Oh, Hell, I just got here and everybody's leaving.""
* the importance of fan mentoring
* contributing to fandom
* the limitations of large procons
* the summary: "To summarize, from my viewpoint on the edge of fandom, things look pretty good. The numerous arguments aren't in them selves bad, as long as they don't become bitter. Lots of view points keep things from getting dull. To keep something alive for a decade, to nurture it, expand it and to help people explore their creativity through it, is a fine and worthwhile thing. The shape of things in fandom has changed and will continue to change, but if change is welcomed rather than resisted, the Star Trek phenomenon could go on forever. After all, look how long the Sherlock Holmes fans have been at it, and they show no signs of letting up."

Fandom: Its Value to the Professional

Fandom: Its Value to the Professional is a 1985 18-page essay by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
It was printed in the book "Inside Outer Space: Science Fiction Professionals Look at Their Craft."
==Some Topics Discussed==
* science fiction used to be a scantly respected genre
* Samuel R. Delaney, Ursula Le Guin, and Joanna Russ who are "clinging to their intellectual credentials from academia"
* science fiction community has grown very large and people don't know each other anymore, nor do they all speak the same language like they used to
* science fiction is now much easier to find, even university classes are teaching it
* science fiction fans used to be readers only as they didn't have a lot of television or movies to watch
* in the good old days, "when you met another fan, you were instant friends — even instant family in many cases"
* name drops some fans who started in media zines: Susan Schwartz, Alicia Austin, Jean Lorrah, Diana Paxson, Jacqueline Lichtenberg, Ruth Berman, Shirley Maiewski, Hannah Shapero and George Barr
* Harlan Ellison and his rejection of fandom
* is fanac a waste of time for a writer who wants to become a professional?
* deciding to step back from Darkover fandom
* "I remember once telling Jacqueline Lichtenberg that it was time to stop wasting productive work hours (she had then two little children) on Star Trek fiction and start using her time for serious professional work." Writers have all kinds of excuses for not writing, and getting committed to a heavy-schedule of fannish activity is one of the best. I ought to know."
* fanzines as practice writing
* the dangers of becoming stagnant

==Some Topics Discussed==

Fandom Closet

Fandom Closet is a term used by fans regarding the visibility of their fannish participation, interests, and creations. 
This may be in respect to all fannish activities, or it may be used or referred to for certain types of fandom, such as those to do with a sexual focus.
==Fans and Closets==
 
Being in the fannish closet means keeping ones fannish life and activities a secret from non-fans.
The reasons for remaining "in the closet" or "coming out of the closet" vary. They are very personal and mostly deal with privacy, shame, the lack of desire to explain fandom to non-fans, freedom, and more. In 1990, a fan wrote: 
==Fandoms and Closets==
The term can also be used to describe fandoms and their visibility. A fan in 2007 said: "There was a drawback to the movies, though. ST fandom started coming out of the closet, becoming a bit too mainstream for my taste. I like my fandoms underground." Legacy Interview with Suzan Lovett 
==Criticism of the Term==
Some fans are critical of the term and say it appropriates the language of the "gay movement" in a frivolous way.

Fandom Etiquette

Fandom etiquette is a often discussed concept and term that refers to unwritten social expectations, rules or guidelines that are upheld within fandom communities. Some fans refer to an overarching fandom etiquette which they feel should apply to fandom as a whole. There are also discussions and concepts of fandom etiquette for fandom activities like commenting on fanfiction or fanart, tagging, or on specific websites for fandom like Tumblr. Some fandoms also have their own in-fandom etiquette.
Over time, concepts of fandom etiquette have changed or developed, and there have also been growing conflicts over expectations of fandom etiquette, particularly as fandom spaces have become increasingly more widely known or as aspects of fandom have breached containment. As fanworks are purged from other sites or sites close, fans moving to new platforms might lead to tension with fans already on those platforms due to differing opinions on fandom etiquette. For example, authors and readers moving from Wattpad to Archive of Our Own, and fanfiction becoming increasingly discussed on platforms like TikTok and Twitter have both led to discussions and arguments around fandom etiquette. 
== Examples of Fandom Etiquette ==
=== Fandom General ===
* Don't Like, Don't Read
* Ship and Let Ship
* Your fandom's ok, my fandom's ok
* Your Kink Is Not My Kink
=== Fandom Specific ===
=== Platform Specific ===
* Tumblr etiquette
== Discussions ==
== Criticisms and Controversies ==
Some fans feel that elements of fandom etiquette are used to shout down or prevent discussions which are necessary for fandom spaces to be more inclusive, including those around bigotry within fandom or poor behaviour by some fans.
