Fans (also known as Faans or Fans!) is a webcomic written by T Campbell, concerning the exploits of a group of science fiction and fantasy fans who become entangled in a series of adventures involving mad scientists, aliens, government conspiracies, time travel, and other exotic adversaries. The comic commenced life as a webcomic in 2000 and concluded in 2005.

Fans started its life as a printed comic in 1999, but was cancelled after only its first major storyline and a crossover with the Knights of the Dinner Table. On January 1, 2000, it was reinvented as a webcomic, first hosted in Keenspace, later in Keenspot, and finally in Graphic Smash. The strip concluded on April 29, 2005.

One of the characteristics of Fans is the great number of artists and artistic styles it has employed over its duration. The main artist is Jason Waltrip, but many other artists have been used for various different storylines.

Summary

The strip focusses on the members of the Science Fiction Club of the fictional Billberg University (loosely based on William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia), a fan club devoted to various forms of science fiction and fantasy entertainment (including thinly-veiled parodies of cult television shows such as Star Trek, The X Files and Doctor Who) and who engage in role-play games, movie screenings and fan conventions. Whilst at a signing held by an actress who formerly starred in one of their favourite shows, they foil an attempt on her life by a pair of mind-controlled assassins and, investigating further, uncover a conspiracy to destroy fandom; when they successfully foil this plot, they attract the attention of the F.I.B, a sinister top secret government that hunt, destroy and capture monsters, mad scientists and other 'fictional' threats, and who view the Club as both pawns in their machinations and as a potential threat. As the Club and the F.I.B begin to clash, the members of the Club begin to investigate and assist in various battles against unusual adversaries (including aliens, vampires, time-travelling warlords and demons), establishing themselves as champions of both science fiction and, in a wider sense, the right of people everywhere to imagine and dream.

Cast

The Science Fiction Club

Present and past members of the club include:

Rikk Oberf: The current president of the club, Rikk (full name Richard Abraham Oberf) started out as naive, innocent and shy (particularly with girls) but soon proved himself a wise leader, tactical genius and extraordinary inspirational speaker - exactly what the club needed in the several crises that faced it. His intense idealism is the beacon of the club's values, but can often blind him to the failings and shortcomings of those around him and can lead to clashes with those who possess more pragmatic viewpoints on life and their adventures. Rikk is married to Alisin, and ultimately entered into a ménage à trois with Rumy.;
