Abstract Details

2024, PHD, Kent State University, College of Arts and Sciences / Department of English.
This portfolio-style dissertation includes four articles on topics in fanfiction studies and queer theory, ready to be submitted for review and publication in academic journals. Each article addresses aspects of transformative writing and fan engagement in the 21st century, including: 1. How fans transfer social media tagging practices to the curated folksonomy of Archive of Our Own to create new genres of short form writing, and how fan writers have developed new ways to use digital platforms and technologies in their transformative writing. 2. How fans use the conventions of fanfiction microgenres to critique the canon media, and how they use these fan works to communicate this critique or to form communities with one another. 3. How and when fans engage with or communicate queer readings to increasingly more accessible media creators, and how media creators respond to queer readings and/or accusations of queerbaiting. 4. How fan works and transformative writing fit into, influence, or reinterpret the broader culture surrounding media texts. In addressing these topics, I explore fan practices and analyze transformative works from three fandoms, Good Omens, Leverage, and Pride and Prejudice.
