2nd attempt to summon the tma fans 

What is the Studies of Fandom?

It’s a Tumblr blog for people interested in Fandom and its practices as an academic subject.

What is the main goal of Studies of Fandom?

The main goal is to provide access to useful reading material for Fan Studies researchers, especially people who can't afford to buy textbooks for their research. As a teacher, I truly believe that academic knowledge should be free of charge and that's why this blog exists. But, don't think this blog is only for academic people! It's for anyone who wants to learn about fandom from an academic perspective.

What will you find on Studies of Fandom?

There's the Library, which is under construction at the moment, but you can access several articles and books related to Fan Studies. We promote ongoing research and try to help any fellow researcher that needs aid. We also post relevant discussions related to fandom, even if it wasn't written in an academic format. Here, we value all the metas and discussions fandom can produce because nobody can think more critically about fandom and our practices than ourselves. There's space for both perspectives: the fans and the academics.

Venom (2018) + Mark Kermode’s Secrets of Cinema: The Romcom

queer love can be two best friends who support each other through their transitions and go to pride together each glowing with admiration for the other

queer love can be siblings confiding in each other about the difficulties of growing up queer in a small town and still texting each other every day when they finally move away from home

queer love can be queerplatonic partners caring deeply for each other and redefining what a relationship can be

queer love can be a group of friends who bond in middle school, realize years later they’re all gay, and laugh and smile when they reminisce together about how far they’ve come

queer love can be a community coming together to give food, shelter, and unconditional support to a teenager who’s been rejected by his family and has nowhere to go

queer love can be two mothers supporting their daughter as she changes her name and buys the clothes that truly express her gender for the first time
