FanForge

FanForge is a web and mobile app that helps fandoms organize, fund, and deliver collaborative fan projects—everything from fan-made documentaries and tribute albums to convention meetups and charity drives. Instead of yet another generic Discord-style chat, FanForge is built around projects with clear milestones, budgets, and roles. Fans can propose ideas, vote them up, pledge money, and volunteer skills (design, editing, logistics) in a structured way. Creators can optionally endorse or co-host projects, but the platform works even when creators are absent or indifferent. The app includes transparent budgeting, progress tracking, and fulfillment tools so projects don’t die in chaos or drama. It integrates with existing social platforms for discovery, but keeps the actual planning and accountability in one place. This is not about parasocial access to creators; it’s about fans doing real, visible things together instead of endlessly arguing in comment sections.
