Fan-supported fiction?

[dsrtao]

No, because some of them don't take money at all, some are selling the actual fiction in collections, and some are selling auxiliary merchandise. (And otherwise, what fiction isn't fan-supported?)

But fandom is certainly a required element in all of them, and is essential to what I'm thinking of.

I suppose "science" is too broad a theme to count ;-)

SF and fantasy, sure, but mere genre isn't interesting enough, I think.
