Fringe Fans

There are several definitions of fringe fans:

1. a person involved in an interest which intersects the borders of SF fandom;
2. a person who is the friend of a fan, and who attends some fan functions with the fan;
3. a person who has stuck a toe into the fannish waters, and, while keeping that appendage wet, has never become any wetter.

Fringe fans/fringefans are not fake fans. (except as defined by some holier-than-thou trufen).
