Interesting discussion. I tend to think fandoms fit into the description of "imagined communities" that is often employed in discussions of Nationalism. I wonder how the current state of fanart, fanfiction and the TikTok "remix" culture play along the idea of fandom as "reactive" instead of "interactive".
