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.
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.
