Canon

The series follows the adventures of the high-tech submarine seaQuest operated by the United Earth Oceans Organization (UEO), a global federation of nations, similar to the United Nations, which was created following a major showdown of nations that occurred circa 2017. Initially, the show centered on the dynamics of the crew and its interactions with the various colonies it visited; later, the sci-fi aspects of the show were more emphasized.

seaQuest Fandom

By the end of the first season, zines were being produced for the fandom. The fandom as a whole suffered from the various shifts in the show's production, including recasting in the second season and the completely revamped (and retitled) third season.

Common Tropes in Fanworks
