Fandoms community a a whole like to use Jargon or language that is specify to their community's. Due to this terms/slang used in one fandom may not be used in another and vice versa. This leads to confusion when anyone enters a new fandom for the first time (even for us veterans), because we all don't really know what we are looking at or reading. Normally it is up to you to figure out what these terms mean and how they very fandom to fandom using contexts clues and asking around. This Dictionary was created to be a one stop shop for all the terms I could find and complied to make the transitions into fandom easier for anyone!
The Dictionary will be updated weekly with terms that summitted by readers or with the addition of a new Special Topic to the Blog . So terms relating to Dungeons and Dragons will be added when the Blog post about Dungeons and Dragons is added.
The plan is to include any and all fandoms, but this can only be accomplished with help form views like you! Current terms in the dictionary are: The basics of Fandom. With plans to add terms regarding: Dungeons and Dragons, Table Tops Games, Video Games (general), Cosplay, Conventions, Fan Fiction, Live Action Role Play, Fan Art, Anime and Renaissance Fairs to be added!
You can submit terms to be added on the "Add to the Fandoms Dictionary" category or by clicking here
All the definitions in the Dictionary have been written by members of their fandoms and have been checking over and approved by the creator of the Blog, Emrys, who you can learn more about here!
