I have noticed that there are very few places to talk if you like/are a fan of something obscure. (you don't have to be a huge fan of it, but you do have to like it in some way) Whenever I wanted desperately to talk about my favourite things, the response was always 'sorry, never heard of it'. Well in this comm, maybe someone HAS heard of it. And therefore you can talk about your favourite things with us. Or... after you've finished with us, we'll have heard of it!
This is a comm to talk about tv shows, movies, books and live performers (meaning: standup comedy, plays, and the like), particularly 'non mainstream' ones, as that is what needs attention. So please, no LOTR, Harry Potter, The OC etc, nothing with really big mainstream fandoms already where it is easy to find other fans. Old movies/books/tv shows that were popular but have been forgotten by most people count as 'non mainstream'.
The comm is called 'heard of it' not because it's a nostalgia comm to randomly check if people have heard of a list of obscurities. Unless you want to find fellow fans for it or talk about it that is of course. In which case that's perfectly fine! (Just make it clear that that's what you're doing)
It's a place for talking about your favourite uncommon shows, books, games and movies/fandoms, and finding new ones to enjoy based on other people's suggestions. It's also a place to share fanworks, and to encourage other people's fanning, even if you don't know of it yourself.
