Big Name Fan

Big Name Fan

Among science fiction, comic book and fantasy fans, a Big Name Fan (BNF for short) is a member of a fandom who is particularly well-known, liked and celebrated for their contributions of art, fanfiction, or articles on fandom. They generally have many fans of their own, who praise them and read their online journals. Some authors and columnists for fanzines and semi-professional magazines are considered BNFs.

Ideally, a BNF is an intelligent, well-spoken individual who earns the respect of other fans.
