A Fandom is a group of people who have band together to become a group of overly obsessed super fans. Normally a fandom starts when a new and very good band, movie, book, or tv show becomes popular. Fandoms can sometimes be dangerous as they will do anything to meet their idol; band member, author, or actor. Fandoms are generally made up of many different types of people, such as those in the Harry Potter fandom. Other fandoms, such as the Directioners and 5Saucers are mainly young, teenage, and college age girls with the exception of a few fanboys and older adults. Many people think of their fandom as a second family and because of that, many people meet Internet Besties. Many fandoms thrive when Twitter wars arise.
Girl One: Omg. Did you hear about the fandom war on Twitter last night?
Girl Two: Ikr. The Directioners are by far the most violent but I think they were a bit brutal.
Girl One: At least the Sherlockians didn't get involved. That would have made it worse.

The microcosm made up of people who are fans of a fiction genre, or of a subgenre, who have their own clubs, conventions and amateur magazines (fanzines), dating back (in some cases) to the early 1930s. Some of these are overlapping. Star Trek fandom, for example, started in science fiction fandom and eventually became a separate fandom on its own. Comics fandom and even rock (music) fandom also started there before becoming separate entities.
Harry published one of the best fanzines in fandom back in the 1930s.

Fanatic domain. Yeah. That's actually how the word got started. It's not a kingdom, sorry guys.
Guy 1: Doesn't fandom stand for "fan kingdom?"
Me: No, it's fanatic domain.
Guy 1: Well that makes a lot more sense.
Plural Term of the word Fandom, refering to a community or group of fans of a television show, movie, book or other media. Most commonly used to describe fan produced media groups, such as fanfiction or fanvids.
Fans usually use the term in relation to belonging to a fan group, as an territorial identifier from one community to the next, ie: "I've come across the term whumping in the SGA fandom, but we don't use that term often in the Buffy fandom."
I wrote this fic for the Buffy Fandom: This is a Smallville Fandom Vid: The buffy and HP fandoms are more popular then others.
