Being the highly intelligent being that I am, I deleted my inbox a couple of weeks back. I’d like to do some more Fandom Doing Good if the interest is still there, so if any of y’all have ever submitted to Fandom Doing Good and haven’t seen your submission done yet, just resubmit it :) Likewise, always happy to have new submissions!

An excellent question anon bb! Replying under a cut for length, as always. Obligatory disclaimer about lack of eloquence and that this is not my field of expertise in all honesty. Fandom is a difficult term to define, but also a word (I think) with a sort of shifting and loose definition. Googling a quick “define: fandom” will give you this definition from Merriam-Webster: ...

fandom doing good: tumblr

Say what you will about tumblr or fandom - about the petty fights we get involved in, the wank posts, the things we roll our eyes at and the debates that turn nasty - but I don’t think you can deny that fandoms on tumblr have some serious power when it comes to mobilizing.

Work has devoured my life (along with new videogames) so I am super sorry for the lack of posts. I’m a bit of an idiot and deleted my inbox, so if you have submitted something in the past couple of weeks or submitted a Fandom Doing Good that has not been used yet please resubmit it. Thanks!

yourfandomsucks: The Stop Online Piracy Act. Basically it is an act that forbids internet users from using content under copyright. EVERYTHING under copyright. Music, video game footage, everything. We are looking at a China-level firewall. Yes, Google has started moving a lot of digital content out of the U.S. because it potentially contains copyrighted information a simple explanation of what...

tomlipinskisfreckles asked: I have some advice for your anon asking how to get a fandom started when nobody seems interested. It's basically just the whole build it and they will come thing. I mean, we'll all admit that sometimes fandom is just about obsessing. If there's nothing to obsess over (aka reblog) then you don't get -as- excited. Make some graphics/fanart/posts/fics/ANYTHING. It's the best...

jerseywolf asked: Hello there, Almighty Foxy One. Do you have any tips for creating fandom for something that is severely lacking in it? I've tried talking to people who enjoy the movie I want to have a fandom for, but everyone sorta drops off the face of the planet after I talk to them. Am I forever doomed to be alone? ;__;

Fandom Doing Good: The Brony/My Little Pony Fandom

Fandom Doing Good is a small weekly project where a fandom is recognized and spotlighted for their community involvement, charity and goodwill. This week we’ll be looking at the Brony/My Little Pony fandom, who have saddled up to raise money for charity while supporting independent game developers. I’m sure many of us look back on our childhoods with fondness, but unfortunately not everyone can be...
