Transformative Works and Cultures has released No. 29, titled Fans of Color, Fandoms of Color.

The essays in this issue describe, interpret, and contextualize transformative works and practices by fans of color, about characters of color, or both. Fandoms include Harry Potter, Game of Thrones (via #DemThrones), The Walking Dead, Black Panther, and How to Get Away with Murder.

Other essays discuss K-pop, slash, parody videos, Filipino fans, and martial arts.

The next issue of TWC, No. 30, is a general (unthemed) issue. It will appear on September 15, 2019.

We welcome new submissions for the upcoming special issue on “Fandom and Theatre” (essays due January 15, 2020). We particularly invite fans to submit Symposium articles.

We accept on a rolling basis submissions for our general issues, which always appear on September 15. Symposium essays may be submitted after the posted cutoff date; email us for info.
