"The fan magazine has often been viewed simply as a publicity tool, a fluffy exercise in self-promotion by the film industry. But as an arbiter of good and bad taste, as a source of knowledge, and as a gateway to the fabled land of Hollywood and its stars, the American fan magazine represents a fascinating and indispensable chapter in journalism and popular culture." "Anthony Slide's Inside the Hollywood Fan Magazine provides the definitive history of this artifact. It charts the development of the fan magazine from the golden years when Motion Picture Story Magazine and Photoplay first appeared in 1911 to its decline into provocative headlines and titillation in the 1960s and afterward. Slide discusses how the fan magazines dealt with gossip and innuendo and how they handled nationwide issues such as Hollywood scandals of the 1920s, World War II, the blacklist, and the death of President Kennedy. Fan magazines thrived in the twentieth century, and they presented the history of an industry in a unique, sometimes accurate, and always entertaining style." "This major cultural history includes a new interview with 1970s media personality Rona Barrett, as well as original commentary from a dozen editors and writers. Also included is a chapter on contributions to the fan magazines from well-known writers such as Theodore Dreiser and e. e. cummings. The book is enhanced by an appendix documenting some 268 American fan magazines and including detailed publication histories, This appendix is supplemented by listings of British fan magazines and fan club journals, making much of this historical information available for the first time."--BOOK JACKET.

"While the enormous corpa of fanfiction has started to get scholarly attention, there have been few studies of how young writers are learning by contributing to these online communities. The existing studies that look at the writing and editing processes in fanfiction use individual works and authors rather than large scale quantitative research. Katie Davis and Cecilia Aragon -- an education researcher and a data scientist -- have formed a very productive partnership investigating the mechanisms of literacy formation on fanfiction sites. In this book, Aragon and Davis combine qualitative and quantitative analysis of fanfiction communities. Their five-year project used mixed-methods research, including in-depth ethnographic studies and computational analyses of vast data sets, uncovering a new kind of mentoring -- distributed mentoring -- uniquely suited to networked communities. The authors describe the evolving space of fanfiction and then develop the seven attributes of distributed mentoring: aggregation, accretion, acceleration, abundance, availability, asynchronicity, and affect. To test the theory of distributed mentoring quantitatively using this massive corpus, the authors longitudinally tracked lexical diversity over stories as authors received feedback. The combination of ethnography and data science makes this work unique, and should be of interest well beyond the core audience of literacy researchers"--

Fanvids, or vids, are short videos created in media fandom. Made from television and film sources, they are neither television episodes nor films; they resemble music videos but are non-commercial fanworks that construct creative and critical analyses of existing media. The creators of fanvids-called vidders-are predominantly women, whose vids prompt questions about media historiography and pleasures taken from screen media. Vids remake narratives for an attentive fan audience, who watch with a deep knowledge of the source text(s), or an interest in the vid form itself. [-]Fanvids: Television, Women, and Home Media Re-Use draws on four decades of vids, produced on videotape and digitally, to argue that the vid form's creation and reception reveals a mode of engaged spectatorship that counters academic histories of media audiences and technologies. Vids offer an answer to the prevalent questions, What happens to television after it's been aired? How and by whom is it used and shared? Is it still television?
