Your mission should you choose to accept it

This is coming up for me as a result of a combination of things, including: having started to read Star Trek the Reboot fanfic, conversations I heard at Wiscon, and posts I saw today, including this one.

Describe science fiction fandom.
Describe media fandom.
What fandoms do you consider yourself to belong to or feel some affinity with?
What terms do you use to describe them?

I'm working on my answer to the other one, but the answer to this one is not so much about which pairings are canon, but which pairings are...how to put this?...right For certain values of "right" that have nothing to do with an honest reading of text.

I'm going to put a link to Fandom_Wank in my other post; you can browse through there (the Harmonian wank has its own community, however) to get some ideas.
