The Potentiality of Omegaverse: Post-Gender, Post-Sexuality, Post-Queer Utopias Within Eastern and Western Erotica by MissBliss12
Fandoms: Original Work, Multi-Fandom
06 Mar 2022
Tags
Summary
This critical reflection on Eastern and Western omegaverse fiction aims to put the omegaverse in conversation with historical monstrous feminine literature, utopian speculative writings, and queer studies. The purpose of this unlikely juxtaposition is to open possibilities for seeing omegaverse fiction as not merely trendy and titillating mpreg erotica, but also exciting narratives that reflect the complexity of making identity in familiar but slanted post-gender, post-sexuality, and post-queer worlds.

TO BOLDLY GO FROM ZINE TO AO3: A Study of Fanfiction Culture in the Star Trek Fandom by TheWriter2
Fandoms: Original Work, Star Trek
29 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
ABSTRACT:
Fanfiction, or the practice of writing fiction about characters from a specific movie, TV show, or book is a practice that has existed for decades. Commonly attributed to the fanzines created by Star Trek fans in the 1960s, fanfiction has become an international phenomenon. Fanfiction is largely shared online and as a result, my research was conducted in an online setting. After speaking to eleven Star Trek fans who read or write fanfiction and reading the stories they selected for me to illustrate their interests, I have concluded that fanfiction is larger than its written works. Fanfiction is a community and a vessel for social commentary. My findings show how online communities are just as complicated as in-person communities, as well as how further studies of fanfiction communities may provide insight into how individuals regulate informal communities. -

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise
Fandoms: ダンジョン飯 | Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon
15 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
(NON-FICTION FANWORK) Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.
In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!
WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.

Where No Fan Has Gone Before: Star Trek, fanzines, the internet, and history by Queen_of_Spirits
Fandoms: No Fandom, Original Work, Star Trek
28 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Abstract:
This project examines the history of fanfiction using the specific example of Star Trek as a lens. It covers a period from the 1960s to around 2007 in three periods. One, the period where Star Trek fanfiction was shared through the publication of amateur magazines called fanzines. Two, the movement of fanfiction online and how it was changed along with the changes in technology. Three, the creation of the fanfiction archive site The Archive of Our Own and how it is a culmination of the changes caused by developing technology and some of the themes carried from the beginning, such as a persistent archival impulse.
