What is a fandom some may ask? Well a fandom is when people are overly obsessed fans of something like a TV show or movie. These are fans that have taken it to the next level of obsession. They develop ‘ships’ for their fandom and make it even worse. For anyone who might not know, ‘ships’ are when one person and another from the fandom are seen in a romantic relationship by the shipper (a.k.a. the fan). A ship can take control of the ‘shipper’ and give them ‘feels’.‘Feels’ are what the shipper gets whenever they see their ship together or something like that. It ruins lives.
Some things I have fandoms for are Harry Potter (as you probably know already...), Hunger Games (yeah if you read my last post...), The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (my friends are obsessed with it for some reason and got my hooked), The Avengers (again my friends got me hooked), The Immortal Instruments, and a few bands (No not One Direction...I like them, but not that much!). SO...as you can see I too have my fandoms, I am not as bad as some people though...just to let you know. I do however have many, and I mean many, pictures of Harry Potter and Hunger Games stuff on my iPod. But, I don't have any ships.
Fandoms can definitely bring people closer though. My friends and I have soooooo many inside jokes because of our fandoms!
It’s awesome! Hee hee... ‘I wonder...’ (oh Rachel if you end up reading this...hee hee).

On a side note, check out the right side of my blog. I moved the Quote of the Day from the top to the side. And if you want you can leave questions in a comment and I will answer them (Unless they are gross or something weird)!
