I am a fan of a '''''lot''''' of shows/movies/books/genres/minor games. I'm not a big gamer, as in I don't play any Playstation or things like that, but I do like a few PC games, like Sims and Virtual Villagers. When I'm editing in Fandom or Wikipedia, I try to watch for spelling/grammatical errors, expand/shorten plots, and contribute as much as possible in those area of interest. Quite often I write the plot summaries on my own, and sometimes I find them on other websites and edit them to fit the fandom pages that I help with expanding the plots. Either way, I always reference my sources when I quote articles or use prewritten summaries (even if I've changed the majority of what was originally written!)
