Fandom Universe Begins a Crowdfunding Venture on Indiegogo
Online, June 12, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Headed by its founder Jamie Burt, Fandom Universe brings its virtual world to Indiegogo with the crowdfunding endeavor 'Your Fandom and Beyond'. The term fandom was coined by blending the words fan and kingdom, and is used to describe the community that comes together to support a sport, TV show, genre, book, video game, etc. If you really think about it, everyone is a fan because we all have something that we are passionate about. For some of us it is an epic adventure, movie or book series, and for others it may be a game, comic book series or sporting event. Fans often become emotionally connected to the athletes, characters, and events, in the worlds they follow.
Fandom Universe hopes to create a virtual realm where all of these fans can come together and connect through their shared passions. They want to create a place where everyone can freely converse, share ideas, and connect without all of drama, gossip and hostility that accompany other social media network sites. Not only will members be able to mingle online with other fans, but they can also use the forum to help each other with fandom related tasks. For instance, if a fan needs assistance creating or finishing a costume for an event they are attending, they can seek help or ideas from someone who truly understands what they need.
The site will also offer full coverage of fandom geared events such as comic book conventions, sporting events, and renaissance fairs. If a fan is unable to attend an event due to financial or time constraints, they will be able to attend it virtually with the coverage that the site offers. All relevant details of an event, such as time and place, will be provided within the individual portals of Fandom Universe. This means a fan will always know when and where a much anticipated event will be taking place.
Fandom Universe promises to be a home away from home for fans everywhere. Along with all of the other facets of the site, the team also plans on launching an arena for healthy competition with an online game portal: Fandom Universe Games. The games will be multidimensional and challenging, but also simple enough for anyone to play. In order to make all of this a reality, the team is seeking help from the public via their Indiegogo campaign.
This campaign, 'Your Fandom and Beyond' hopes to raise $185,000 in order to kick off their first official portal. However, the creators of the website are not picking which portal will be the first to launch. Starting on June 10th and ending on the last day of the campaign, all fans everywhere will get the chance to vote for their favorite portal. This means you can have a voice in the very first portal to go live on this website. As an added incentive to bring contributors to their campaign, they are offering a wide range of perks. These perks range anywhere from varying membership lengths to site related merchandise or vendor packages. Full details about the project, as well as the link to cast your vote, can be found on their campaign page.
