fans

A fan is a person who is enthusiastically devoted to supporting something or somebody, such as a band, a sports team, a book or an entertainer. Sometimes also called an aficionado or a supporter. Collectively, the fans of a particular object or person constitute its fanbase or fandom. They may show their enthusiasm by promoting the object of their interest, being members of a Fanclb, holding or participating in fan conventions, or writing fan mail. They may also engage in creative activities (“fan labor”) such as creating fanzines, writing fan fiction or drawing fan art.
