I'm going to really think about this one before posting however, a quick look up and three references will take a literal definition of fan (short for fanatic) as: marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion (Merriam Webster online) OR Fanaticism is a belief or behavior involving uncritical zeal or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby (Wiki) OR a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics (Dictionary.com).
I see a common word here: uncritical
So I ask my own self, am I a fan by literal definition...the short answer is yes. I beat to a similar drum as PanicLord but I have slightly different parameters. I will gather those parameters and post a longer form once I have them organized a bit.
