We've been blown away by the enthusiasm (and, dare we suggest, accuracy?) of your guesses for our Season 1 lineup. Round one goes to you, but we're working on our poker faces for round two! I'm a Fan! First season launching December 2026 at Dragonsteel Nexus and online in 2027.

Sometimes, a smile can be as deadly as a knife. And a fan can hide either until you're close enough to strike. Sign up for our mailing list at imafan.net and be among the first to get the mystery reveals!

Oh, and we have puns. A lot of puns. I'm a Fan! First season launching December 2026 at Dragonsteel Nexus and online in 2027.

I’m a Fan was born as a fun project by creators and fans, for creators and fans. By offering quality accessories that allow people to express their love of stories, we aim to build community and evoke joy through collaboration between writers, artists, and fandom.

It began when two authors met at a publisher mixer. One of them, fanning themself in the overly warm room, relayed the story of trying to find a place to buy a hand fan and joked about putting book-themed art on fans, which would be…fan art. Ha ha!

On the final day of WorldCon Seattle, we accidentally started a business.

And your cowriters are your colleagues and community. The people you can help and can help you. Lots of people write, but it’s still a very small world and getting to know people is the best part!

Rushed to my local bookstore to get my copy because I trust @macarrick.bsky.social implicitly and knew I needed a physical copy for my shelf. I got the last one at the shop so good thing I did!

Happy book birthday to this fantastic read! So much lies beyond the pillars of Hercules for those willing to venture. So much also awaits you in the intrigues and fascinating realities of Golden Century Spain. Best of all, if you buy this book you get both, a beautiful map and some gorgeous prose!!!
