FAQ: what is a fan?

A fan usually has a range of interests of which science fiction or related fields are their main one. The media perception is that fans are all geeks and nerds obsessed with a single show or aspect of the genre. While this is true for a few, the vast majority are ordinary people like yourself. The best analogy is a sports one. Just as you will find some people who have their one sport or team that they are insanely passionate about, you will find that most like a variety of games and events. The guy who paints his house in team colours, names his children after favourite players and watches the same game endlessly is an oddity. Most fans watch a few TV shows or movies, read a few books and have other interests besides science fiction. Chances are, if you’re reading this page and considering coming to our convention, you’re already a fan.
