Hey F-list, help me with this one

[velvet_mace]

Fandom has many many roles but it seems like a lot of times people think that the only way to participate is to write fic or draw art.

Help me come up with a list of all the different active fandom roles that people can do, especially those who aren't good at writing fic or drawing.

This is what I started:

Fic writer

Comments

Rec'ing and Pimping. (Or did I miss that?)

[eve_n_furter]

Selling/buying/exchanging fan stuff.
Making audio files (books, fanfics).

Thanks!

Caricatures! Maybe the oldest form of fanworks. :)
Like when Jeffrey meet George and George really tastes like puke. George offers to go on a strict papaya diet and stay off the asparagus, but Jeffrey just can't be bothered. They each marry pretty Mary Sues and live happily until they die of old age. ;)))

But wouldn't that fall under fan art or fanfic? I don't think badfic deserves it's own category.

And LOL that idea is awesome in it's awfulness! I'm not sure it's possible to be more OOC and canon-rapey in three sentences.

It does. I realized my mistake seconds after posting. The Mary Sues would be ugly, of course.
I'm sorry if that fried your brain (a little, at least), but caricatures ultimately compliment their parents, because they confirm the originals' impact. :)
You are probably right about them fitting into the other categories, but it IS a genre of it's own, and not always bad either.

Hmm. Do have any links to examples this? I'm not sure I'm wrapping my head around it right.

Here are some examples that I feel have some qualities beyond mocking: http://pics.livejournal.com/eve_n_furter/gallery/000237k4
Hopefully they speak for themselves.
