Fannish Osmosis

Fannish Osmosis is the process by which knowledge diffuses pan-fandom, such that a fan from Fandom A may know assorted facts about Fandom B, without even having been particularly interested in or participatory about Fandom B. Like the scientific principle of osmosis, it appears to happen without any will or obvious action involved, as if in obedience to a law of physics. For example: "Oh yes, Blurty Vulgar courts his fans by mooning them on alternate Thursdays. How did I know that??" "Must be fannish osmosis!"
Fannish osmosis is a process rife with error, based as it is on word-of-mouth (or word-of-website). This built-in error rate is a factor in the change of fannish terms and definitions over time, a process known as fannish drift.

Fannish Psychological Testing

Fannish Psychological Testing is a satirical exploration by thefourthvine of what psychological testing would look like if it were designed for media fandom characters. 
The mock test was created in response to thefourthvine's evaluation of actual psychological tests which she described as "boring" and "as interesting as an eight-part documentary on dryer lint." While many of the test questions appear to be based on fannish tropes such as Magic Circles, finding oneself in an evil mirror universe or soulbonds, they are actually based on plotlines from movies and TV shows. Guessing which shows and movies is part of the enjoyment of the test.
The Fannish Relationship Survey
#If I were transported to another universe, I would immediately try to find my partner's analogue. (T/F)
#If it was an evil mirror universe, I would still try to find my partner's analogue. (T/F)
#I would also expect my partner's analogue to find me, even if said analogue had no way of knowing I was there. (T/F)
#My partner and I are capable of having complete conversations using only eyebrows, shoulder punches, or awkward, shuffling silences. (T/F)
#Other people have sometimes accused my partner and I of being telepathic. (T/F)
#If my partner or I were to turn evil, so that we had to spend the next fifty years as mortal enemies, I would still expect us to be there for each other in times of personal crisis. (T/F)
#I have brought my partner back from the dead, or my partner has brought me back from the dead. (T/F)
#I have sacrificed my life, my sanity, or other people's lives to bring my partner back from the dead, or vice versa. (T/F)
#I have remolded reality to protect my relationship. (T/F)
#Our souls, or a representation of our souls, have merged. (T/F)
#My partner's soul is as much my responsibility as my own. (T/F)
#If my partner is ever grievously injured, I will violate hospital protocols, not to mention health and safety regulations, to keep a weeping bedside vigil, even during lifesaving surgery. (T/F)
#If I am ever grievously injured, my partner is likely to quit, go catatonic, go berserk, or otherwise become a less than functional member of society. (T/F)
#At least one improbable being (mystical creature, copy of me from another dimension, minor deity, etc.) has declared that it is my destiny to be with my partner. (T/F)
#Basically the entire universe has declared that it is my destiny to be with my partner. (T/F)
#I am fairly sure that if I ever leave my partner, the universe will end. (T/F)
#My partner was at some point literally the only boy/girl/other in the world, and neither of us minded. (T/F)
#If one of us was transformed into a vampire, that person would immediately transform the other. (T/F) 
(Scoring note: One point for every true. Anyone who scores more than 14 on this survey should probably take a different test. One that measures how well in touch you are with reality.)

Fannish Roots (1991 essay)

Fannish Roots is a 1991 essay by Joyce Yasner.
It was published in the 1991 Mos Eastly Con program book. 
The topic was the origins of fan cons, specifically Star Trek conventions, see Star Trek Lives!
"Mostly Eastly Con: Release 4.X is the fourth in a series of media science-fiction conventions by fans, for fans. If this is the first Mostly Eastly Con you've attended, or, perhaps, your first fannish con, a word here about our philosophy might give you some idea what you're in for."
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the first Star Trek conventions
* the take-over of big, for-profit companies of fan conventions, specifically Creation Con, alluded to was Al Schuster's cons
* the differences between not-for-profit, fan-driven cons and for-profit cons done as a business
* passive and active fans, and fannish participation
* MediaWest*Con and its predecessors
* Mostly Eastly Con

Fanon Draco

Fanon Draco, a.k.a. LeatherPants!Draco, is a term used to describe a particular characterization of Draco Malfoy that occurs frequently in Harry Potter fanfiction.
TV Tropes has this to say about the term:

==History==

Fanon Fridays

Fanon Fridays was a LiveJournal community that "was created to house fan works (fiction/art/vids etc...) that relate to non-canon pairings and/or storylines for Smallville and for Smallville Crossovers (SPN/Batman/BtVS etc...). This community has decided to willfully ignore the poor fanfiction of Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders also known as "Smallville Season Nine." Things found here are AU or old school fic and probably won't follow season nine continuity in any way."
The community has since been purged from LiveJournal.

Fanon Wiki

A fanon wiki is a type of wiki containing fan created ideas, usually fanfiction, OCs and other fanmade concepts. It is the fanon opposite of a canon-focused wiki. While most canon-focused wikis (such as the Harry Potter Wiki) disallow addition of fan-made content, fanon wikis regularly encourage these types of articles.
Most fanon wikis are encyclopedic in nature and therefore act as a repository for fan ideas and concepts. Some fanon wikis function similar to that of fanfic archive and store fics written by users. This is not common. The primary purpose for fanon wikis is contain pages on fan-made characters, locations, objects, movies etc instead of exclusively fanfiction.
Occasionally, a canon-focused wiki will expand its content and allow the creation of fan-made content. The Avatar Wiki is the most notable wiki to do so as in 2009 the Avatar Fanon Wiki and the Avatar Wiki merged content forming a combined fanon and canon resource.
FANDOM, the wiki hosting site, has a designated category for "Fanon" wikis.
Fanexus will have a wiki for fandom activity.

* Fantendo
* Simpsons Fanon
* Naruto Fanon Wiki

Fanosaur

Fanosaur is a term for a long-time fan. As seen in the examples, what qualifies as "long-time" varies from fan to fan. It is often ironically self-applied, but some fans also feel that it's used by younger fans as a pejorative label.
A very closely related term is Zinosaur which is a term for a long-time fan of printed, dead tree zines. It is most often used by older fans in an affectionate way.

Fanpair

This term refers to a given fan's "pair" or "partner" in fandom. Although the dyadic language sounds romantic (maybe especially to slash and femslash fans), the fanpair relationship isn't necessarily sexual. A fan and her fanpair are friends who share a fandom in a deep way. They may beta each others' fanfic or vids or share co-creator status on fanworks. If one member of a fanpair falls in love with a new fandom, and the other partner doesn't share the obsession, the tenor of the relationship is liable to change.
A non-binary example is the Webrain: 
The term may no longer be in general use; fans today do refer to braintwins, fannish best friends, partners in crime or, of course, betas or cowriters.

Fanpol

Fanpol (sometimes FanPol) is short for "fandom police." This is a derogatory term for people who try to control or restrict other people's fandom activities. It caught on in late 2019 or early 2020, and is commonly used for anti-shippers on Tumblr and Twitter. Some groups have proposed calling them "Frollos" instead, after the villain in The Hunchback of Notre-Dame. Common uses include "Fanpol DNI" ("Do not interact") in profiles.
==Examples of use==
Fanpop

Fanpop is a network of fan clubs for fans of fandoms and more to discuss and share photos, videos, news and opinions with fellow fans."
==History==
==Content==
Each fan club has several different sections:
* Wall - users can post comments here
* Images - users can post any image here. Here they can separate them into different sections: official images, Screencaps, wallpaper, fanart and icons
* Videos - users can post videos or vids from Youtube
* Articles
* Links 
* Forum
* Polls
* Quiz - pop quiz on the fan club's subject
* Answers - users can ask or answer questions
==Controversy==
* Due to the fact that anyone can add images to the fanclubs, many fanworks such as fanart or icons were posted to the site without asking the artist's permission or giving them credit
Fanquan

Fanquan (饭圈) is a Chinese idol fandom term sometimes translated as "fandom". Literally translated, it means "fan circle" and refers to the network of fans of a celebrity, usually operating through Chinese social media in an organized fashion to boost the popularity of their favorite idol. Fanquan activities include coordinated buying of the celebrity's music or products endorsed by them, as well as upvoting anything related to them online, mass commenting on weibo posts, and fighting with anti-fans. Fanquan have also run charity drives. The fan leaders (dà fěn 大粉) at the very top of the hierarchy are often paid by the idol's PR team and coordinate with them.
The "fan" in fanquan is a transliteration of the English word fan. 饭 fàn means "rice" or "meal". Occasionally 粉圈 is used: 粉 fěn means "pink" or "powder". See Jikipedia, which has one person's definition of and an entire tag for .
A video interview with American academic Henry Jenkins on bilibili in 2020 had fans discussing in the comments how a mistranslation of fanquan as "fandom" affected Jenkins' answers. One fan commented to say that there was no equivalent word in other languages., posted on bilibili, 12 April 2020., dreamwidth post by user:aethel, 18 April 2020. See also the non-MTL translation in the comments.
In Chinese online spaces there has been a growing critique of fanquan culture being out of control, expressed by regular netizens and also published in state-run publications. Fanquan activity started causing a lot of high profile incidents (see Blocking of AO3 in China). In August 2021 the Chinese government announced a number of new restrictions ostensibly to curb the excesses of fanquan, including banning social media ranked lists of individual celebrities and RPF ships aka CPs and requiring idols' PR teams to be responsible for fan clubs' behavior and banning unofficial fan club accounts. Although some aspects of fanquan culture have become a genuine public nuisance, commentators have observed that the CCP also likely considers fanquan as a threat to its monopoly on power."However, experts said the fan groups' propensity for organisation and effective social action is the chief concern for Xi's administration as China embarks on a sweeping reassertion of party and state control across the country's technological, business and cultural landscape. 'They see the potential to organise, to mobilise. For the government, that is a very big concern,' said Yun Jiang, a China expert and former policy adviser to the Australian government now with the Australian National University."

Fans of Don

Fans of DonThe title of the site does not appear visually on the index page. (originally at http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Cavern/1228/FoD.html) was a faction site for the FoDs, those Forever Knight fans who considered themselves affiliated with the character of Det. Don Schanke. 
The FAQ page has a copyright date of 1996, which may be when the site started. The last updates were recorded as having been made on 16 May 1998. The site was last archived by the Archive Project in 2 February 1999, and presumably disappeared from the web shortly thereafter.
Most of the pages were not archived; but from links on the index page it is possible to determine that the site originally included the following:
* FAQ sheet about Don and his wife Myra
* a small screen capture archive
* a small sound capture archive
* an archive of fan fiction
* a guide to episodes of interest to fans of Schanke
* a page of Schanke quotations from episodes of Forever Knight
* "Test of FoDness" (probably a quiz)
* two souvlaki recipes (Schanke's love of souvlaki being a running joke on the show)
* pictures of John Kapelos (the actor who played Schanke) during an intermission of "Syd, The Karaoke Kid", a show that he was doing in 1997
