Fandom Chronicles: What Kind of Fan Will You Become?

One accidental tap on a short video, and years later you're still a fan. Follow 12 scenes from discovering a favourite through sudden fame, merch and a disputed finale to ten years from now. See how you make room for the things you love.

Three dimensions shape your result: how much your favourite enters daily life, how important being an early discoverer feels, and whether you mainly enjoy or create.

8 fandom types

• The Hidden Archive Curator: knows every role, tells almost no one
• The Private-Account Critic: writes analysis behind a locked account
• The Quiet VIP: cheers for success, buys just enough merch
• The Guide-Making Fan: builds threads that welcome newcomers
• The Early-Era Archivist: keeps everything from before the breakthrough
• The Fanfic Author: writes an ending of their own
• The Photocard Trading Pro: answers trade DMs faster than everyday messages
• The Late-Night Translator: shares overseas interviews before dawn

A lighthearted test inspired by a few ideas from psychology. There's no right way to be a fan. Compare results with a friend to see your different ways of loving things.
