I was looking for good synonyms for "fandom" and wasn't that surprised to find none. In English, we're really spoiled for synonyms because of our dual origins in German and Latin, but fandom is a portmanteau (fan + domain).

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected.
