The word "Fan Zhi" originated in Japan and refers to a group of people who have a common interest in animation and jointly create and publish books and publications. Generally speaking, at present, most of them refer to the creation of animation or the surrounding areas related to animation. At the same time, at present, most of the chronicles of domestic fans are self-funded and rarely commercialized. Japan does a little more in this respect, but generally speaking, it is mainly published by everyone themselves. In addition, in China, fan chronicles are mainly based on "adaptation", that is, creating their favorite anime works and characters outside the story. But in fact, there is another kind of "original fans", that is, self-created characters, plots and so on. This is rare in China. However, there are many original fans in Japan, which is also the initial route of many Japanese cartoonists. CLAMP is a successful example of XD. The main difference between them and comics lies in their nature, that is, they are not published by a publishing house, but printed in their own name. Also, because it is funded by individuals and printed by individuals, it is difficult for Fan Zhi to be commercialized. There is basically no reprint, and there is no reprint in ordinary bookstores and other places. Generally, it is only sold at fan exhibitions, and even often it is only circulated in the small circle around the creators, and it is not taken out at all. In addition, because of the above reasons, the price of Fan Zhi will be relatively higher, the category will be finer and the audience will be narrower. To sum up, Fan Zhi is a group of people who like the same animation. When you are free, you can contribute your own articles, publish your own works, and appreciate your fans' works. Basically equivalent to, everyone's self-entertainment XDDDD
