So, a discussion I was having with someone on my flist earlier got me to thinking about what people get out of fandom. I know that, personally I get a ton of things from fandom from entertainment to friendship. And I was kind of curious as to what other people enjoyed most from fandom.

I found it was far too difficult to put many of the awesome things about fandom into a poll however (feelings of community, friends, challenges, etc.) so decided to narrow it down to basic products that fandom produces. Communities, archives, websites, etc. started making the list too long too, so I have the basic products that we produce and consume. I'm sure I'm missing a bunch, these are mostly the ones I consume but I'm curious as to what other people consume.
