Whether it is fantasy football or fanfiction, being a fan is, for many people, a way of life. In this class we will explore what it means to be a fan and why people find joy in dedicating so much of their life to fan identity using examples of fan love as well as readings from the field of fanstudies. We will take extra time to explore the idea of fanfiction, a field of writing that is so popular that there are multiple popular fiction books which started out as fanfiction. With a focus on writing, we will learn to read and write our way through these fan spaces, identifying and appreciating the vivid world created by people coming together who all love the same thing.

Academic honesty/integrity statement:

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

One serious kind of academic misconduct is plagiarism, which occurs when a writer,
speaker, or designer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, images, or other original material or code without fully acknowledging its source by quotation marks as appropriate, in footnotes or endnotes, in works cited, and in other ways as appropriate (modified from WPA Statement on “Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism”). If you engage in plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct, you will fail the assignment in which you have engaged in academic misconduct and be referred to the Office of Student Integrity, as required by Georgia Tech policy. We strongly urge you to be familiar with these Georgia Tech sites:
