New experiences, new people & new perspectives every time we get together.
A Fan Fest Family.
The Fan Fest Society, from today until forever, aims to be a place where people gather over fandoms they love to celebrate fictional characters, those who created them, real life heroes/heroines and everyone in between. People supporting people, bonded by something unexpected, it’s as simple as that.
When Fiction Becomes Reality.
It’s hard to articulate, but we’ve seen it with our own eyes. Watching a group of strangers grow into a niche society is something we never predicted, but it’s worth preserving. When fiction becomes reality, it’s magical. What could be more ironic than a TV show changing your life? We aren’t sure, because nothing stranger has happened to us yet.
Whimsy Amongst the Mundane.
The Fan Fest Society was created as a solution to a pandemic-era problem. People could no longer gather safely in-person and we kept thinking about a beautiful little community we helped build. A community that thrives online year-around until we meet in person every fall in New England. We wanted to multiply it to create other communities. A “society” just felt more novel and whimsical. And after all, who doesn’t love a little whimsy? It goes with everything.
Genuine Authenticity
Authentic fandoms mean more than just the thing that brought them together. So, while it make take some time to fully understand what we’re up to at The Fan Fest Society, we hope you’ll stick around. Because, just like your favorite shows, we might surprise you with where we’re going and what we’re up to.
Storylines, whether on screen or on paper, can change you. They can bring you the most idealistic of days and take you places you never thought you’d go.
The story may have began there, but it’s far from over.
There is something Real about Fiction.
Change for the better.
Whether it simply makes you happy, propels you towards something good, changes your path completely or just connects you with a family member or friend, TV can absolutely change you for the better. We’ve heard hundreds of stories, so many so that you couldn’t convince us otherwise.
