When we think of "fandom," we often think of Wikipedia, a sprawling marketplace of ideas. But FANDOM is a vast database of fan-created content, encompassing a wide variety of genres and subjects. Fans create fan sites, post content, and participate in other fans' wikis to make these databases as comprehensive as possible. In addition to encyclopedias, FANDOM also allows its users to build their own communities and critique prescriptive ideas that influence how media is made.
There are numerous ways to interact with other fans. You can view a feed of all the latest news, social conversations, and original stories from various fan communities. You can also customize your own topic and choose your language. You can browse the content by category, by author, by popularity, or by language. A search bar is available at the bottom of the page. There are also options to follow or unfollow a fandom, change your language, and search through the app.
FANDOM is powered by Wikia. It's the Community Central of Wikia, Inc. that founded the website. It was launched in January 2016. Daniel Pink, the founder of Wikia, wrote The Book Stops Here, a book that inspired the creation of FANDOM. The website's mission is to empower the fan community and provide access to information about their favorite entertainment. It aims to bring people closer together.
