Fanstanza
/fænˈstæn.zə/ (noun.)
To be a fan, to stan – with all our hearts.
We know what it is like to deeply love an anime series, to read a manga or manwha until 3am in the morning, to suffer defeat and yet refusing to give up despite having to wake early the next day.
To stan for something is a beautiful thing and there’s nothing quite like it in this human experience. It’s a love that cannot be replicated, given, or taken away. It is yours, wholly, and for you to express in your own unique way.
Some fans dedicate hours to fan art, others cosplay, build shrines, search for perfect poca holder to frame their oshis, buy a variety of pouches to house and hang their dolls, constantly refresh webpages during new merch drops, endure the sheer weight of their ita bag that’s filled with 30 badges of the character they love, spend every weekend with their community exchanging blindboxes, and more.
The amount of hours that we spend living in the moment happily celebrating our fandoms and the emotions that drive us to do so may seem radical to people outside our fandoms who don’t understand – but we do because we’re one and the same. It’s not always easy to explain why we love what we love. And frankly, there’s no need to.
Fanstanza was created from the heart to deliver clear, earnest, and useful content by fans for fans. We hope you’ll resonate — to feel our passion as much as we appreciate yours.
We hope to add value to your never-ending thirst in your fandoms, to give you the value you deserve in every piece of content that we publish and polish that’s been written with you in mind.
