Your guide to research on fans

  • Fanhackers is a project of the Organization for Transformative Works (OTW) that makes fan studies scholarship more accessible. We help fans find and access research on fan culture, and encourage fan participation in scholarship through the contribution of personal experiences, new research, and community interaction.
  • We post about fan studies research here and on Tumblr and Twitter, and maintain a bibliography of fan studies research. Contributions welcome!
