FanPolis

Fanpolis is a Czech (and partially also Slovak) encyclopedia of fanworks. The encyclopedia was founded in 2014 by Lanevra and belldandy. In the beginning, SOS (Společnost pro osvětu spisovatelů) members helped with the creation of the first articles, among many others.
Fanpolis aims to map a variety of fan activities as widely as possible, explain fanninsh terminology, bring information about authors, fandoms and ships. It was created in an effort to build up a local equivalent of a Fanlore. It's mission is to persevere information especially about the local fan community. It is therefore written in Czech, by Czech fans and predominantly about Czech and Slovac fannish community, although it also tries to set this local fannish activity into the bigger picture.
In 2021, bedrnika and Femme fragile also became the administrators of the encyclopedia, and a number of new articles were created on their initiative.

FanPro

FanPro was a project on Tumblr to create "a fandom with no official story or lore.". Youtube video by ViviVinya. Posted 22 February 2021. Accessed 26 October 2022. Participants submitted character designs, which then got referred to by number rather than name, and anyone was invited to create stories and recursive art with these characters (including filling in whatever backstory they desired). Fanpro was started in May 2013 and went on indefinite hiatus in 2017.As noted in the header for the Tumblr blog. A sister project, ComProject (short for "Community Project"), remained active until at least 2019.
In 2022, for the 9th anniversary, FanPro re-opened submissions with the goal of getting to 2300 FanPro characters, allowing both art and text-based submissions.. Posted 28 May 2022.

Fan Aid (Doctor Who convention)

Organized as part of a fundraising effort to support famine relief in Ethiopia (Live Aid), Fan Aid was held twice over the course of 1985: on June 29 in Bath and on November 2 in Leeds."Ethiopia," BroaDWcast. Last modified on February 3, 2017. Retrieved on March 17, 2018. Paul Cornell launched the campaign, which also included the anthology zines of the same name.
Cornell was a Doctor Who fan writer who would ultimately write for the authorized Virgin New Adventures series of Doctor Who novelizations, as well as other Doctor Who novels following the adventures of companion Bernice Summerfield."Paul Cornell," Wikipedia. Last edited on March 15, 2018. Retrieved on March 17, 2018.
In his book Love and Monsters: The Doctor Who Experience, 1979 to the Present, Miles Booy describes Cornell's creation of the Fan Aid campaign:
"In the mid-80s [Cornell] devised and spearheaded Fan-Aid, a series of publications and events in aid of African famine relief, which set the pattern for fan charity events ever since. The Fan-Aid convention was the first not to show videos of old episodes as a point of principle - atomized viewers sitting in the dark watching television simply wasn't Paul's idea of what fandom was about."Booy, Miles.

Fan Army

Fan Army is a phenomenon that can be traced back to the early 19th century ("Lisztomania") in the music fandom. 
It is usually a decentralized organized fan base consisting of hardcore fans who use organized actions like call-ins, letter send-in, flash mobs, or, in more recent times, social media platforms to gain attention or "right wrongs" against their favourites. 
In the general media, activities by fan armies are usually viewed negatively and/or derogatory since it fulfills a very stereotypical view on fandom and fandom culture.
Since the 2000s and later years, the term stan may also be used by members of fan armies.
Often the line between doing good (like raising awareness or collecting funds for charities) and bad toxic behavior (cyberbullying of individuals, behavior of fan armies may change quickly within a fandom and can often overshoot a noble goal in terms of fandom bubbles, hysteria and overestimating the importance of topics compared the population outside a fandom.
Online media sites know about the potential to draw clicks and impressions to their sites, which is why the love to hold "Battle of the fan armies" kind of contests on their social media platform and websites.
One of the more recent, notorious fan armies out there is the BTSARMY which is not short of controversies surrounding their activities.
==History==
Bobby-Soxers were named for the rolled-down hosiery they matched with saddle shoes and skirts, these teen girls were pop music’s first real fan army, swooning and fainting over Frank Sinatra during World War II.
Soon after, the Beatlemaniacs, often young, female fans of the Beatles, gained awareness by the media.
In the 1980s, fans of the created boy band Menudo where called Menuditis.
== Other examples of Fan Armies ==
*The KISS Army- Founded in 1975 by two kids who pressured an Indiana radio station to play their favorite band, Kiss’ official fan club went on to become a card-carrying rock’n’roll institution.
*Deadheads - The Grateful Deads fan army
*Little Monsters - Lady Gagas fan army and one of the first example of modern day fan armies
*Swifites - Fan Army of the Taylor Swift fandom
*Directioners - Fan Army of One Direction

Fan Club

A fan club can be any group of two or more fans who band together to form a club based on their shared interest. The term is usually applied to groups dedicated to a specific fandom or sub-genre. A less specific group devoted to speculative fiction in general is usually referred to as a science fiction club.
Television producers sometimes create "official" fan clubs for particular television shows, clubs that are run for profit. Some official fan clubs are run by fans and are not for profit. And some fan clubs, also run by fans, are completely unofficial. 
Possible activities depend on the size of the club, the age of its members, and the fannish focus, but may include viewing parties, producing clubzines, attending conventions, organizing conventions, etc.
Some fan clubs do not use the word fan club, and go with titles such as "Society" (an example: The Oregon Dark Shadows Society), "Appreciation Society" (an example: The Paul Darrow Appreciation Society), "Fellowship" (an example: William Shatner Fellowship), and "Fan Association" (an example: The Landau/Bain Fan Association). 
 
Some fandoms also created their own titles for their fan communities. Some examples are:
* Abbey (Deryni)
* Alliance for Star Wars Fans
* Cavern (Beauty and the Beast (TV))
* Darkover Council or "Towers" (Darkover)
* Enclave (Star Wars)
* Estrogen Brigade (multiple fandoms such as X-Files and Star Trek)
* Holt (Elfquest)
* Householding (Sime~Gen)
* Smial (Tolkien) 
* "Starship," such as U.S.S. Vigilant and U.S.S. Atreides (some associated with STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association, Inc.) (Star Trek) 
* Weyr (Dragonriders of Pern)

From Now Voyager, The Official Newsletter of the Kate Mulgrew Appreciation Society: 
==Exchange Policy==
Many fan clubs had "exchange policies" with other fan clubs. This meant that they set up informal agreements to advertise each other's clubs and club publications in each other's newsletters. 
Many fan clubs also sent each other complimentary copies of their newsletters to other fan clubs as a courtesy, and also in hopes their newsletters and other zines would be publicly reviewed.

Fan Entitlement

Fan Entitlement refers to words or actions by a fan that imply (or sometimes even outright state) that the creators of a canon or other fans owe that fan something. With canon, it generally refers to demands that creators follow the fan's preferences in their ongoing worksNeil Gaiman's Journal: Entitlement issues... "George R.R. Martin is not your bitch." posted May 12, 2009. Accessed Nov. 27, 2012. or make Word of God comments supporting the fan's positionHP and BTVS, and fan entitlement., "There's this huge sense of entitlement amongst everyone, like they feel JKR owes them their pairing, and this one single line in an 850 page book proves it beyond all doubt." posted July 20, 2003. Accessed Nov. 27, 2012. (or retract comments denying that positionVault #6: On Harry/Hermione, Shipping, Fan Entitlement, And More, posted Nov. 21, 2008. Accessed Nov. 27, 2012.). With fanworks, common forms of entitlement include demanding that works in progress be updated, insisting that fanfiction endings be changed or that ongoing fics focus in a certain direction, requesting moderators change the rules of a community to suit their preferences, authors demanding a certain level of feedback before another chapter of a WiP is posted, etc.
Since some of the same actions can also be taken in a supportive or social justice context, fan entitlement is often a question of tone and approach, rather than the base actions themselves. Therefore, whether or not a particular act or comment qualifies as fan entitlement is often a matter of opinion.
A common response to perceived fan entitlement is to suggest the fan do the work themselves (i.e., start their own challenge, create their own fanworks, translate their own fansubs, etc.).
Entitled behavior, or calling a fan's behavior entitled, can sometimes lead to wank.Fandom Entitlement tag, Entitlement tag
