Fanac

Fanac, a term coined by Robert Bloch in 1957, is short for "fan activity", and includes any fannish thing that fans do. The term is better known in science fiction fandom than in media fandom, where fanwork has started to become more common. However, the two words are not synonyms; although fanworks are a type of fanac, a lot of people have years of fanac under their belts without ever producing a single fanwork. 
For instance, fans may go to (or run, or volunteer at) conventions, take part in fannish discussions, do cosplay, beta-read fanfiction or beta-watch vids, send feedback, moderate fannish mailing lists or journal communities, transcribe episodes, take screencaps, collate canonical information, write episode reviews, join fan clubs, run campaigns to keep a show on the air, dupe tapes/dvds of episodes, provide torrents, create fanmixes, watch vids, rec vids, read fanfic, rec fanfic, buy zines, contribute to a fannish wiki, etc.
Fan labor is a non-fannish term with a similar meaning to fanac. See the Wikipedia discussion.

Fanatical Fics and Where to Find Them

Fanatical Fics and Where to Find Them is a Harry Potter fanfiction podcast. Each fortnight, one host would find a fanfiction written before July 2008 and read it to the other. Occasionally they would bring guests from other Harry Potter podcasts or from their personal networks. 
On the 11th of January 2025, the podcast announced that its final episode would be episode 200.
== Structure ==
The main part of each episode was reading the fanfiction/s in the title of the episode. They also made predictions based on the title, genre tags, and time period the fic came out in. The majority of fics read came from Fanfiction.net, while a few were found on Archive of Our Own.
There were also special episodes, including Christmas episodes, Valentines episodes, squid month, and anniversary TTRPG episodes, where the hosts brought on friends and played a Harry Potter themed TTRPG. 
Every episode also included a recommendation segment, and other rotating segments included:
* Summaries - reading the summary of the fic
* Quick fics - summarising a fic that wasn't right for the main part of podcast
* Hold for the end please - reading a listener-submitted ending for a fic from a previous episode
* OCs - describing listener-submitted OCs
== Lore ==
The podcast contained its own fanon from fics they read on the podcast, often called FF canon or FF lore. Examples include:
* Genderfluid icon and member of the drama club Blaise Zabini
* What is your soul distilled into a single object
* All wizards are gay
== Patreon Discord ==
The podcast created a Discord server for patrons on Patreon. The server held various events, including a House Cup tournament, gift exchanges, writing competitions, and book clubs and movie nights for other media.

Fanauthor Workshop

The Fanauthor Workshop was am MFA-style creative writing workshop run online for fanfiction writers by fan, writer, Wayward Daughters founder, and MFA grad student Betts aka Betty Days. The first session of the Fanauthor workshop began September 4, 2017 and Betts says future workshops are likely if there is interest. The workshop was application only and limited in the number of participants both because Betts was doing it for course credit toward her MFA and also because, ideally, writing workshops should be small. Participants were given the opportunity to workshop both fanfic and original fic.
As Betts in the application post explained: "fanfiction taught me how to write and i have immense respect for it as a genre. i think fanauthors do amazing literary work, and i’d like to take what i’ve learned from my MFA so far and bring it back to the community that fostered my passion for writing."
Betts discussed the workshop on an episode of the podcast Fansplaining, Episode 171: OFIC Magazine, in which she also spoke about the literary magazine OFIC Magazine, which was created by Betts and of which she is Editor-in-Chief.
==2017==
Participants included Vaysh, Emdee, Xyai, Nemesis, Kiyaar (and five others for a total of ten) and these participants published brief fannish autobiographies, "Fanauthor Spotlights," as follows:
* Better know a fic author: Vaysh
* Better know a fic author: emdee
* Better know a fic author: xyai
* Better know a fic author: agent-nemesis
==2022==
Applications for the spring 2022 cohort opened on January 15th, 2022, and closed on March 16th.unfortunately i may not have enough applicants to run the workshop, so i’m keeping submissions open until March 16. The spring 2022 course ran weekly between April 22nd to May 20th, the cohort consisting of two groups, each of nine writers, for a total of 18.
While initially priced at $250 per participant, the workshop moved to a price of $1 plus a 'pay what you think it's worth' tip before beginning, to make the workshop as accessible as possible.UPDATE TO COST: The workshop is now “pay what you think it’s worth” All proceeds from the workshop went to startup capital for OFIC Press, a publisher of book-length works by fanfiction writers which Betts hopes to create.The Fanauthor Workshop is back!

Fanbook

A fanbook, or fan book, is a book/booklet created by a fan of a canon work. It might refer to a doujinshi or a zine, and it's commonly used interchangeably with these terms. 
In K-Pop, a fanbook often refers to a zine created with the intention of gifting it to the idol, for example as a birthday gift, or to celebrate a group anniversary or concert. These can contain fan art, supportive messages from fans, and even tweets. These are then either sent to the entertainment labels or given to the idol directly at a fan sign event. In K-Pop, this is often considered different from a "zine," since those are for fans to view, while fanbooks are intended for idols. Fanbooks are popular in Korean fandom. International fans will sometimes coordinate with fansites to translate fan letters and messages and get it delivered to the group or member. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with zine. They can also sometimes simply refer to books released by the companies for their fan clubs. 
== Example Fanbooks ==
=== K-Pop ===
* Kim Lip Birthday Fanbook (LOONA)
* From Frecklegem to Felix Lee (Stray Kids)
* ENHYPEN Fanbook (Enhypen)
* TXT Fanbook (TXT)
* Dear Jinsoul (LOONA)

Fanboy

You may be looking for the Doctor Who zine Fanboy.
A fanboy is a fan (male or female, but usually male) lacking in social skills and expressing their fandom in obsessive and maladaptive ways. A fanboy may not recognize that other people do not share his enthusiasm, or may not value people who fail to share his enthusiasm, or be otherwise unable to express himself in a way that would be considered socially functional.
The term implies immaturity and isolation, invoking the popular derogatory imagery from Science Fiction fandom of an overgrown teenager with poor sanitary habits living in his parents' basement. In contrast to fangirl, the boy in fanboy refers to childishness rather specifically than to gender.
Another derogatory use of fanboy paints fanboys as fandom gatekeepers, those who have decided they have the authority to determine who qualifies as a "real" fan, and polices other fans accordingly. They are fiercely protective of their fannish interest, the nerd identity, and the status quo. They fight back hard against any attempts to make fandom, or traditional fannish interests (such as comics) more inclusive. Fanboys are the people most likely to use fangirl in a derogatory sense.
However, many fans use both fangirl and fanboy purely as neutral synonyms for male and female fans.
==Origins==
According to the Harry McCracken's article Fanboy! The Strange True Story of the Tech World's Favorite Put-Down, the term first appeared in a 1973 zine of the same name, created by underground cartoonists. It says, "The magazine’s cover poked fun at disciples of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs--a class of overserious fan distinct from comics collectors." In 1976, the term was adopted by R. Crumb, and became part of the comics lexicon. It seems to have slowly filtered to online conversations, especially of operating system advocates (that is, accusations of "Apple fanboy" or "Bill Gates fanboy), in the early to mid 1990s Fanboy!

Fancafe

A fancafe is an online message board dedicated to a specific K-pop artist or group, where fans can interact with each other and sometimes with the idols themselves. Fancafes are typically hosted on South Korean web portals such as Daum or Naver.
== Examples ==
For a list of fancafes on Daum, see this list.
* BTS
* ATEEZ
* ZEROBASEONE
* TWICE
* Loossemble
* Plave
== Features and Structure ==
Fancafes usually have various sections, such as:
* Announcements: Official updates, schedules, and notices from the artist's management or company.
* Free Board: General discussion among fans.
* Gallery: Photos and videos of the artist, often shared by fansites.
* Letter Board: Where fans can post messages or letters addressed to the artist, and in some cases, the artist may respond.
Some fancafes also have exclusive content accessible only to leveled-up members or official fanclub members.
== Membership and Leveling Up ==
To join a fancafe, fans typically need to create an account on the hosting platform and pass a series of questions or tests to prove their dedication and knowledge of the artist. This process is known as "leveling up."Amber Miley "Fancafes and Why They Are Such a Headache" March 15, 2020
Fancafes often have a hierarchy of membership levels, such as:
* Associate Members: New members who have not yet leveled up.
* Regular Members: Fans who have passed the leveling up process and gained access to more content.
* Official Fan Club Members: Fans who have purchased a physical membership kit or paid a membership fee, granting them access to exclusive content and benefits.

Fancon

A fancon is a convention run by fans. Fancons usually feature panels and discussions among fans and no guests or guests who are BNFs. They tend to be cheaper than procons (or actor cons), which are run for profit. 
Some fancons. like Yaoi-Con. do feature guests who are industry professionals alongside completely unrestricted fan content. Other fancons have professional guests and semi-restricted fan content such as not allowing open sales of slash zines.
In cases of unofficial fan run conventions, a permission from the copyright owner may be required. This was, for exmaple the case for the X-CON that was held in Germany in 2009.
Many fan-run cons were started out of frustration with the size, expense, out-of-touch, and impersonal feel of the professionally run cons. Some fans also did not feel a great desire to get celebrity autographs or mingle with the stars but instead wanted conventions to be a place to meet and visit with other fans. Expectations ran both ways, however, and some fans who were used to big, for-profit "shows" found fancons to be disappointing. From a fan in 1987: 
Literary and science fiction fan conventions began in the 1930s. Some of the earliest media fan conventions were the Star Trek conventions of the 1970s. Many of these Star trek events were replaced by procons.
For example, in 1975 a for-profit Star Trek convention was held in Chicago. This led one fan to write the following loc:
This pattern would repeat multiple times over the next decades -- fannish enthusiasm would create the need for gatherings only to be followed by for-profit events. See Doctor Who and The Blake's 7 Wars.
Likewise the rise of the Internet and the ability to communicate with a great number of fans without the expense of traveling to meet them in person has reduced the number of fandom run conventions.
Still, as of 2014, fan cons flourish and the number of mini-cons or relaxacons have held steady. These latter events are hard to track as they often number no more than 20-30 fans. Recent examples in 2014 are Bistocon and Constrict.
