Random Doom Fan Club
The Random Doom Fan Club was created on DeviantArt on January 16, 2010 by users Adam1704 and Axel230. Many of the fandom creations have been compiled into this group.
Creator's reaction
TamarinFrog herself noticed the immense numbers of fans, and has done things to make her fans more interested. One major thing was a experimental dialouge-less comic that ended up getting majorly popular. She later created other comics to make it canon and it led up to the introduction of a new minor character: Morrigan the Zorua
Ending
On April 21, 2018, after nearly 10 years since the series began, TamarinFrog posted the final page of the final comic in the series. With that, she also posted a notice about it, thanking her fans for keeping the series alive and finished.
