n. Without qualification, indicates a fan of science fiction, especially one who goes to con s and tends to hang out with other fans. Many hackers are fans, so this term has been imported from fannish slang; however, unlike much fannish slang it is recognized by most non-fannish hackers. Among SF fans the plural is correctly fen , but this usage is not automatic to hackers. Laura reads the stuff occasionally but isn't really a fan.
