If you call it “fan studies,” you can geek out as much as you want, and it sounds professional. Your university library might also have a subject librarian who could help you search. Try “ ” as well and see what hits you get. From these journals you could probably go bibliography hopping and find other resources. You could also try the Journal of Fandom Studies or the Popular Culture Association. There’s a recent study called Girls who like Boys who like Boys by Lucy Neville That’s a start, but let’s see what the blog has to share :) You’ll probably find lots of good sourcing there.įor more anecdotal information and links to fic source material, blog posts, zines, fanart, etc try Fanlore (another OTW project). If you’re looking for academic sources, the Organization for Transformative Works (the parent org of AO3) runs a peer-reviewed academic journal. Do you or your followers maybe know about some sources of knowledge about fanfiction, its roots, cultural impact etc? I thought I'll ask since you and your followers seem to be very knowledgable about fandom culture :) thanks in advance, even if you cant help me :) Anonymous asked: Hi!
