Fancurator

Fancurator is a term that emerged on social media platforms, particularly Twitter and Tumblr, to describe an individual who curates and shares content related to a specific fandom. This content typically includes fan art, fan fiction, memes, news, and discussions pertaining to a particular interest, such as a TV show, movie, book series, or celebrity. A fancurator's primary role is to serve as a central hub for fans, consolidating information and engaging with the community.

The activity of fancurating often involves actively searching for and selecting the most appealing or relevant content. Fancurators may use hashtags, dedicated accounts, or specific social media features to organize and distribute their findings. Their efforts help to foster a sense of community by making it easier for fans to discover new content and connect with like-minded individuals.

While the term itself is informal and originates from fan culture, the role of a fancurator can be seen as a form of content creation and community management. They contribute to the visibility and sustained interest within a fandom, acting as unofficial archivists and promoters. The effectiveness of a fancurator often depends on their understanding of the fandom's dynamics, their ability to identify popular trends, and their dedication to consistently updating their shared content.
