here is very first miro board Sam Schoonover and I created in Aug 2023 when we started having the crazy idea that fans are the next creator class, and fan media is inevitably going to be the biggest and most valuable entertainment category in human history.
we’re looking for feedback on our website copy. we’d love your feedback on some possible headlines for our website! ty :) docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

👏 how they got steve-o, Ice-T, andrew yang, jon heder, carmen electra and more all on one show is beyond me.
fan edits about to flood your feed...
Fox just premiered Nation's Dumbest, the celebrity competition where losing is the whole point, ft JoJo Siwa, Hilaria Baldwin, Ice-T, Chase Hudson & More.
We're building the crew to help spread every quiz, every fail, and every elimination across summer break. Six weeks, a small group of creators and fan editors, paid work, and exclusive access to footage and creator tools.

Being a fan of something is one of the most invigorating experiences of love and creativity. Specifically it connects a few different psychological wires all at once:
Being a fan gives you something to love that can't reject you. You can pour real feeling into a song, a show, a character, and it just sits there and absorbs it. It’s safe to go all in.
It's also one of the few socially sanctioned outlets for enthusiasm left in adult life. Most environments train people to be measured and ironic. Fandom is a space where “I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS” is not just permitted but rewarded.
It turns you from consumer into creator. Fandom isn’t passive: true fans are expressive, extending the thing instead of just receiving it, writing / drawing / making videos / debating / collecting / dreaming. Psychologists sometimes call this "transformative" fan behavior. Creating is deeply fulfilling.
And it's rarely solitary. Fandom is one of the fastest ways to find people who share your specific taste, down to weirdly granular details. That combination of shared obsession plus low social risk (nobody thinks it's strange that you want to talk for an hour about a fictional character) creates fast, intense bonds. Group love of something amplifies individual love of it, which is part of why fandoms can feel almost religious in their intensity.
So the invigorating feeling of fandom is several things stacking: safe emotional intensity, permission to be enthusiastic, the shift from consumer to creator, and instant community. Not many other experiences bundle all four at once.
