About Fandomania

What is Fandomania?

• Fandomania is a blog that covers what fans are excited about the most. We have articles about a wide range of pop culture with reviews, meta, and press releases. If you can be a fan of it, Fandomania has a place for it. We periodically have contests as well, which means you get to share in the goodies we've been reviewing.

How often do articles come out?

• Fandomania publishes articles Monday through Friday, between 8AM and 8PM. We publish between 3-5 articles per day. Archives are available to catch up on any articles you may have missed.

Who writes for the site?

• We have a number of writers on our staff with interests ranging from comics to television shows, video games to books. You can learn more about each writer on our About Us page by clicking on the author's name.

What's the podcast all about?

• Every Monday, the editors of Fandomania (Jason and Celeste) put out a podcast on their latest fan commentary of the week. The topics range from opinions on new television, the latest games they've played, and anything else that their geeky minds can come up with. You can subscribe to the podcast feed through iTunes, listen on the site, or download the audio file for later use. There is also an RSS feed that you can add to your favorite reader so you can keep up to date on when a new podcast is released.

Why do you seem to have media before it's released?

• Fandomania gets pre-releases from a number of media sources in order to do reviews prior to full release or to give our writers a chance to write their articles so that they can be published on the day of official media release, depending on publishers' requests. There is the chance that pre-release reviews may spoil you on some aspects of the media, but they also may inform you of aspects of the media that you weren't aware of.

Accessing Content

What are the main categories of articles?

• Fandomania covers a wide range of fandom happenings, but we have each article assigned to a larger category for ease of access. These categories are: News (for breaking news in fandom), Reviews (we liked it, we hated it, we want to share our opinions with you), Interviews (exclusive interviews with fandom personalities), and Contests (you can win something cool just by commenting).

There's this article I know was on the site, how can I find it again?

• The last ten articles that came out on Fandomania will be on the front page at all times. If you're looking for an article that's older, you can either click on the main categories of article types or you can use our search box on the top left of the site. This will search keywords in the articles, but not the authors themselves.

I like this writer's work. How can I see other articles that they've published?

• You can click on the author's name from any of their articles and pull up a short biography, as well as a listing of other articles they've written. If you find a writer you like, be sure to drop them a comment, join them on Twitter, or email just to say hello.

Being Interactive

How can I follow Fandomania's articles without checking the site everyday?

• We know that checking back on your favorite websites can be a hassle, but we have a solution! Fandomania offers a number of ways to be alerted to new content. You can follow our Twitter account, which posts an announcement when there's a new article up. Additionally, you can follow our Facebook account and receive the same notifications. And if neither of those work for you, you can use our RSS feed in your favorite feed reader and get notifications that way.

How can I leave a comment?

• Our writers love comments, so feel free to leave a quick note or start a longer discussion. There's a simple comment form at the bottom of each article where you simply fill in your name, email address (which isn't published), your website (if you want your name linked to it), and your comment. That's it!

I like what you're doing. How can I get involved?

• If you have media that you would like one of our writers to look at, feel free to contact them directly or send a note to our editors through the Contact Form. Periodically, we will have staff openings so that you can come on board as a writer yourself. We will post a call for staff at that time and be open for applications. Keep a watch on these announcements! Or, if you want to get your name in early in case we have an opening now, you can contact us through the Contact Form.

My question wasn't answered. Can you help?

• Sure! If you have any questions about the site or the content, feel free to contact us through the Contact Form, leave a comment on Facebook, or tweet us. We will respond to your question right away.
