        Grades 4-7 Some people enjoy books, movies, TV shows, and anime so much that they continue to think about their characters, settings, and storylines. And for some fans, this means imagining new or alternate versions of the characters' adventures. With this book as a guide, readers can explore various forms of fandom. From fanfiction and cosplay to gaming and podcasting, the chapters introduce different kinds of fandom and offer helpful tips on getting started, being creative, and having fun. There are even short interviews with authors, animators, podcast producers, and other professionals who reveal how their early fandom endeavors led to similar creative careers. The final chapters describe how to get involved in fandom communities and the planning and etiquette of attending a fan convention for the first time. Throughout the upbeat and accessible text, digital illustrations in blues and reds feature cartoonish young people with a range of skin tones, hairstyles, and physical abilities. The guide concludes with fandom writing prompts, a glossary, and related resources. It's game on for proud geeks!
