  • More about Loving Fanfiction: Exploring the Role of Emotion in Online Fandoms


Loving Fanfiction explores the emotional aspects of online fanfiction, connecting it to literacy development and practices. It analyzes fan narratives and practices from various fandoms using affect theory, expanding current understandings of fandom and its role in teaching and research.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 232 pages
Publication date: 31 May 2023
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


Loving Fanfiction delves into the realm of emotions within the context of fandoms, particularly online fanfiction. By examining fans' narratives about themselves, the fanwork they create, and consume, the author explores how identity, cognition, emotion, the body, and embodiment intertwine in the development and practices of literacy.

Drawing on affect theory, Brit Kelley conducts a systematic analysis of work from a six-year ethnographic study across various fandoms, including Harry Potter, WWE, Gotham, and Twilight. Their analysis extends our understanding of fandom by delving into the deeply emotional aspect of fanfiction practices, while also connecting with the academic fan community to establish connections and implications for the role of emotion in teaching and research.

This distinctive perspective on emotions, love, and fandoms holds significant appeal to scholars and students engaged in media and communication studies, fan studies, literature, creative writing, cultural studies, digital humanities, and literacy studies.
