Tropes People associate with The Fan
The Fanon RangersCreated because I'm just that kind of person, the Fanon Rangers are the official spandex tights-wearing heroes of TV Tropes.In the beginning God created Canon. Now the Canon was formless and empty and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And God said, "Let there be Loads and Loads of Characters." And there was a Cast of Snowflakes. God saw that Dark Is Not Evil and Light Is Not Good and did not divide them. Gray and Gray Morality remained and for a time it was okay. Fans were created to admire the Canon and from them rose the Canon Corps. They learned the ways of the Canon and used them to defend against Dis Continuity and it's ilk. Eventually, Fanon arose naturally from the world. The Canon Corps could not deal with the likes of Fan Dumb and Fan Haters on their own. An experimental group was formed, given powers and weapons, and set out to defend Fanon from those who would do it harm. For a time, it was good. Xanon, the perfect balance of Canon and Fanon, existed in peace. Until it happened. In an effort to perform a Cosmic Retcon the world slipped. Canon became misaligned from Fanon and the Canon Corps turned. In a wave of Retcon the Fanon was attacked. The Fanon Rangers stood against the people who had made them, aiming to stop this aggressive Retconning and prevent Continuity Lockout. Fanon Rangers"Welcome to Xanon, the vast sea of the possible. There are countless isles of Canon here—bastions of reality created and controlled by the Author, and maintained by the belief of the Fans. They're not bad places, not most of em, all told. "But we see a better world...we know that Canon is not absolute. Each and every one of us has the ability to shape the world we live in. We're gonna let people know, and we're gonna stand up for their right to choose. "You've probably heard about us from the Canon Corps—our enemies, dedicated to the enforcement of 'What Is'. They say we're dangerous. "They're right." —Haven "Our job is to preserve the Balance." —Kinkajou "They were one... once. Once the more militant members of the Canon and Fanon movements collided, though, we had to take up a stand. We stood up. To both." - Also Kinkajou "If it's Fanon or Canon... Those are just minor details. To me, the only thing that matters is that Xanon is okay." —The FanThe Fan

Tuefel Hunden IVThe Canon Corps"At one point this world—Xanon as it was—was contaminated with the toxic thoughts of Fanon. But then there was a split. We purified ourselves. We cleared ourselves of these dangers brought on by zealous Fans. We created a true Canon." — Ponicalica "The Canon doesn't need the fans. It can do without their filth and waste and self-induced plot holes." — IverumBig Bad Iverum

MurasaApplies to entire CorpsThe Fan Hater Rangers.The Fan Haters, like the Fanon Rangers, wish to see change in the current canon - however, instead of attempting to influence change through implementing new ideas, the Fan Haters seek to simply destroy the original canon - and all less-than-perfect Fanon (read: all Fanon) in their entireties. Taking to heart the ideas that things can't get any worse and that anything anyone else has come up with sucks anyway, they seek to simply destroy the Canon in its entirety, and keep the Fanon Rangers from recreating the Seriesunless they can create the perfect Script. (Of course, being pessimistic perfectionists, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to create a script that pleases their majority for the next century.) They are known for having invented - and having put to liberal use, to this day - compound IJBM-13, a high-energy-density putty explosive.Gravitas

KrrackknutOtherThe Pariah.LoreThank you, Barcode711, for coming up with this. Wild Mass Guessing is the constructor's art, the magic that allows Xanon (collective term for Canon and Fanon) to be created. This creational practice is not entirely peachy, however - it is, after all, responsible for Epileptic Trees and Voodoo Sharks. Exposure to these failed creations - even one's own - can turn one to one of the many Fan Dumb; a strong mind and limiting exposure go a long way in preventing this.
