Being part of a fandom can be an amazing, life-affirming thing. Nothing in the world is as marvelous as finding a new friend who loves something just as much as you love it.
​
We have big plans for The Fandom Universe, spanning not just the hyper-giant stars but some of the more sedate dwarfs as well. We are looking for essay and art submissions about how fandom changed your life.

For Essays:
Tell us about how you met your significant other in line for the midnight release. Or how a character’s struggle to save the galaxy helped you get through your freshman year of college. Tell us how fandom has impacted your life.
For Poems and Artwork:
We understand intellectual property is a minefield, and ‘transformative works’ doesn’t help all that much. This is a for-publication work and we cannot accept fanfic or anything featuring the likeness of Trademarked characters, logos, or related indicia. For a discussion about what constitutes fair use, this is a good article to start with.
Other Options:
If writing fiction is more your thing, tell us a story. Maybe about a man’s slow descent into madness leaving him convinced he was Professor Snape. Or a universe of people in the 25th century obsessed with the original Star Trek.
We are currently accepting essay, appropriate short fiction, and art submissions for The Fandom Universe: Indelible Ink, about life in the Harry Potter fandom. Please send submissions to gfpsubmissions@gmail.com, with –Fandom Universe– in the subject line.
Here are some possible essay topics:
  • Quiddich in the real world.
  • In defense of the third movie.(We know it’s an uphill battle with that one)
  • Any other opinion piece that is likely not shared with most of the rest of your fandom. Now’s your chance to sell us on it!
  • If you’re only going to read one book, it should be X.
  • If you’re only going to read one book, it should NOT be X.
  • Tell us about your road to fandom. We’re sure everybody has a story.
Submission Deadline: April 30th, 2018
Planned Publication Date: Fall 2018

Upcoming projects:
Voyages–Star Trek
Impossible Things–Doctor Who
…and so many more.
