5 minute fandoms?
Re: 5 minute fandoms?
What's awesome about it: It's a card game where all the cards are beautiful and/or unnerving surrealist images, and one player "describes" their card with a snippet of story, a reference, or an explanation of what it makes them think of, and the other players try to match it with something from their own hand. (There's a scoring system that provides incentive for the "storyteller" to come up with a description that's neither too abstract nor too obvious and for the other players to try as hard as they can to match the concept.) I'm really drawn to the illustrations on the cards, any one of which could qualify as a five-minute fandom for some good fantasy/horror/science fiction imagery.
Where to find: Board game stores or online for the whole game; lots of sample cards on Google Image search.

It's a fun game, and it's extremely easy to learn the rules. It works best with a group of people who all know each other at least a little, in my experience (mostly so you can occasionally use in-jokes as card descriptions), but I've always had a lot of fun with it.

Here's a (bad) icon for our imaginary community. (I'm a writer not an artist but I can shrink pictures with the best of 'em.)
I am totally offering this fandom.

What's awesome about it:
I've been getting spam recently for Financial Robot. Financial Robot is an unstoppable financial super-being with endearingly poor grammar. Robot never sleeps. It makes money for you 24/7. Still not a millionaire? The financial robot will make you him! Attention! Financial robot may bring you millions!
Most successful people already use Robot. Do you?

What's awesome about it: He-Man and Skeletor were the antagonists from a cartoon in the 80's (and various things since). An ad agency re-interpreted the final dance number from Dirty Dancing as a 2-minute clip of He-Man and Skeletor dancing together. It's brilliant, and ever-so-slightly slashy.

It features an adorable panda traveling around the world. It is basically the cutest, fluffiest commercial I have ever seen. It ran all the time on Eurosport during the 2005 Tour de France and I squeed so much every time it was on. I'm still in love 12 years later. All I want is more panda fluff.

Re: 5 minute fandoms?
What's awesome about it: It's a song written by a folk singer called Bev Pegg in the 1970s. Whether he knew it or not (I'm not sure), it's one of the most hurt/comforty slashy songs I could imagine. It's sung from the point of view of someone who's a civilian, comforting the officer of an army, who is both personally wounded and leading the remains of his troops away from a battle that it seems likely he has lost. There's a lovely ambiguity about which side the singer character is on.
Greg Russell and Ciaran Algar are one of the fastest rising acts on the UK folk scene, and Greg's delivery gives the song a contemporary edge and relevance.
It's not a song about a real, specific, battle... and so there's a whole range of possibilities for fic.
