Page "Fandom" Paragraph 12

Some fans write fan fiction, stories based on the universe and characters of their chosen fandom.

This fan fiction can take the form of video-making as well as writing.

Some also dress in costumes (" cosplay ") or recite lines of dialogue either out-of-context or as part of a group reenactment.

Others create fan vids, or analytical music videos focusing on the source fandom, and yet others create fan art.

Such activities are sometimes known as " fan labor " or " fanac ", an abbreviated form of the phrase " fan activity.

" The advent of the internet has significantly facilitated fan association and activities.

Activities that have been aided by the internet includes the creation of fan " shrines " dedicated to favourite characters, computer screen wallpapers, avatars.

Furthermore, the advent of the internet has resulted in the creation of online fan networks who help facilitate the exchange of fanworks.
