I think we need a strong definition of what Super fandom is. I for once can't see how much art is super fandom if it is fans doing fanart of fandom.
What is it really?

From what I've gathered a Super Fandom is a piece of fanart based on a fanfiction that someone has written. For example, let's say I draw some fanart for a Kingdom Hearts fanfic I've read. That would be a Super fandom. Does that help?

Why are people submitting fanart under it then? I wonder if this needs to be made clear to everyone else as well as me. It confuses me, and other people obviously. And where does it finish being fanart and start being super fandom? It's too confusing. Essentially Superfandom is fandom. Just fandom of someone using someone else's idea. As far as I care, its fandom of the origanal creator's work, based off a senario that someone thought up. This classifies it as just fandom at that point... right?

Dollmaker got it right. It's fanart of fanfiction. But too many people are puting artwork in that gallery not really knowing what it is. Which makes me mad because a description of it is right there. People just seem to ignore it.
I guess i should just get rid of the gallery. Too many people aren't using it right and it isn't really adding any worth to the site.
Any objections to its removal?

None from me- I think I''ve done... One super fandom? Is is popular on other sites? I would've thought that it would be a subtitle of fandom, not its own title... Maybe it should go under fanart. There can't be much of it... can there?

I don't have a problem with it. I don't think I've ever done a Super Fandom in my life. I didn't think it was that popular, anyway, which is why I was kinda surprised when I noticed that Super Fandom had its own section.
