What type of plan?

Depends how resource intensive your fan site is, but at first I doubt you would need a dedicated server, although if you grow in the future you will probably need to upgrade to one.

Not to burst your bubble, but achieving a community like that is a lot harder than it seems. Its a lot of work, and some luck. No one can predict the future, but in case it takes longer than expected, there is no point in throwing away your money on a dedicated server. Just make sure you choose a host with a good upgrade path, so that you can upgrade easily as your site grows. Over the course of a few months this could save you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars.
