What do you consider qualifies one to be a member of a show's "fandom"? Watching it faithfully? Participating in online discussion about it? Writing fanfic, buying action figures, erecting shrines, making

I only consider myself a 'fan' of a series if I feel driven to join the mailing lists/ attend cons/ write fic. There are about 10 fandoms where I read a lot of fic but don't do any of the above - I have to be active to consider myself seriously fannish.
