Fan lounges

A Fan Lounge (also called a Fanzine Lounge) is a relaxed social space at a science fiction convention. The space was originally meant as a place where fanzine lovers, and those new to fanzines could come, read a few issues of displayed fanzines, and chat with fellow fanzine fans.

There is rarely food or other amenities provided in Fan Lounges.

There are occasional program items held in fan lounges, such as fan group meetings, Fan Fund meetings, and fanzine activities such as the production of "fanzine in an hour."

A great proponent and may-be originator of the Fan Lounge is Christopher_J._Garcia.
