Had such a fun time attending the presentations from today's #FanLIS2025 and feeling extra motivated to get back to my own fanstudies research 💖
Fandom is something people do on the edges of their obligations, #FanLIS2025
I’m just going to sit back and enjoy Julia Bullard’s keynote, I Am Giving This Talk Instead of Sleeping, will share links when the #FanLIS2025 videos go live!
“Students who research a topic related to a personal fandom feel more confident in the research process because they are already positioned as an expert…” #FanLIS2025
Next! Amber Sewell with Fandom does belong in the classroom: Designing a study of fandom, student confidence, and intertextual expertise #FanLIS2025
Chason-McCarthy discusses critically endangered crafts that fanbinding can revitalize, e.g. foreedge painting, paper marbling, tanning. #FanLIS2025
Distracted by personal stuff from live-blogging #FanLIS2025, sorry!
Chason-McCarthy conducted ethnography at Renegade Bindery Discord and TikTok fanbinding community. #FanLIS2025
Chason-McCarthy draws a connection between fanfiction purges from places like LiveJournal and Tumblr and fanbinding and is also suggesting that book bans in the US in school & public libraries might also be connected to fanbinding. #FanLIS2025
Beck Chason-McCarthy with Multi-Sited Ethnography of Online Fan Binding communities: implications for LIS fields and Allied Crafts #FanLIS2025
Nelson is interested in how we can use parafandom to delineate the different intentions behind disinformation and misinformation, and how we can use knowledge tools, classification, tags, etc to identify it. #FanLIS2025
Everything Nelson is sharing is fascinating but my brain just isn’t processing quickly enough to live-blog it. #FanLIS2025
Nelson is discussing the relationship between dis/misinformation and parafandom. #FanLIS2025
Next up Melissa D. Nelson with Almost, beyond, or alongside fandom? An alternative frame for QAnon #FanLIS2025
There are increasing mentions and interest in pink kryptonite in both canon and fanfiction. The use of pink kryptonite raises significant questions of consent for Superman. #FanLIS2025
In some of these fanfic, other characters use pink kryptonite or their own abilities to impact Superman. #FanLIS2025
Fanfic featuring pink kryptonite tends to also incorporate other obscure elements from Superman/DC. #FanLIS2025
Ue and Starzomski-Wilson are discussing 3 fanfiction texts, undated but apparently from the 90s, and it’s hard to tell from a particular fanfiction which canonical representation of pink kryptonite it’s responding to. #FanLIS2025
In a couple of comics, pink kryptonite causes Superman to be attracted to Jimmy Olsen. In a short Justice League cartoon, pink kryptonite turns Superman into a woman. In an episode of Harley Quinn, pink kryptonite is reported to “swap gender.” #FanLIS2025
So far Ue and Starzomski-Wilson have identified 4 canonical uses of pink kryptonite. #FanLIS2025
Tom Ue and Kristofer Starzomski-Wilson up next with Make It Pink: Superman, Pink Kryptonite, and Fandom #FanLIS2025
Dreßler “Not everything is queer just because it appears to be.” #FanLIS2025
German-speaking fans do identify gaps but tend to fill gaps with heteronormative content even in queer stories. #FanLIS2025
Dreßler is sharing so much in the findings portion that I can’t keep up! #FanLIS2025
