Original Fan Media |
Once you have looked at multiple examples of fan media in your topic, create your own original piece of fan media on your topic in any of the genres we have discussed or read about or you have observed. Think of this assignment as equivalent to the "imitative" type of assignment in a writing class in which students are sometimes asked to read a piece of writing and imitate the genre, mode, tone or style of the piece. Similarly to that type of assignment, you may see yourself as "imitating" a type of fandom or really just enacting a fandom you identify with. It really does not matter how you identify your relationship to what you produce. The point of the assignment is to learn about a fan-related genre by "getting inside it" and creating it rather than analyzing it, which you do elsewhere. 10/18
