Fanhackers is a project of the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) to make fan studies scholarship more accessible. We blog about research, maintain a fan studies bibliography, and more.
"You may not have heard of the #OTW, but you’ve likely heard of the organization’s flagship project: Archive of Our Own. #AO3, a digital fanfiction archive, was built with a very simple goal in mind: give fan creators more ownership of their creations."
Your Fancam Is Their Marketing Plan
Hollywood spent years ignoring, ridiculing, and even persecuting fandom. Now, it’s speaking the language, reposting the art, and recruiting directly from its ranks.
