Fandom Friendships: A Zine explores and honors friendships made and sustained through fandom.
The zine was open to contributions from anyone and solicited contributions last year. Contributors were asked questions like:
- Who are the friends you met through fandom, and how did you meet?
- What makes fandom friendship special?
- How has making friends through fandom changed over the years for you?
- What can we learn from fandom friendships?
Just some of what this compilation includes tells the story of: friends showing up in a time of a parent’s death during the pandemic, the bonding capabilities of Superwholock and K-pop, what happens when you move in with someone you met when you were teenagers bonding over Merlin, friendships lost, and the unique medium of fanfiction.net forums.
Please join us in celebrating this zine! You can read and download a copy for yourself at: Fandom Friendships: A Zine.
