What is a Fandom? According to The Urban Dictionary a fandom is the community that surrounds a tv show/movie/book etc. Fanfiction writers, artists, poets, and cosplayers are all members of that fandom. Fandoms often consist of message boards, livejournal communities, and people.

I am a member of a few fandoms: Supernatural and Buffy are my favorite! So when naming a fandom monster why not use the names of my favorite characters, Sam Winchester from Supernatural and Spike from Buffy!
