This Week in Fandom, Volume 148
Hello and welcome to This Week in Fandom, the OTW’s roundup of things that are happening. Before we get started, did you know that this week marks one year since the Game of Thrones season finale? Yes, it has been an extremely long year. In any case, fans marked the occasion on Twitter with exactly the enthusiasm that those of us who do remember those dusty days of 2019 might expect. Disconcerting times for many of us this week as the New York Times published an article about the Omegaverse (or ‘wolf-kink erotica’, as the headline writer has it). The (paywalled) piece, which includes interviews… Read more

Hello and welcome to This Week in Fandom, the OTW’s roundup of things that are happening! If you’re feeling nostalgic, you’re in good company: Sarah Michelle Gellar posted an instagram photo of herself wearing Buffy’s prom dress from Buffy The Vampire Slayer episode Prophecy Girl with the caption “All dressed up and no where to go. “I say we party” #safeathome #prophecygirl”.

First, a small format change to TWIF for now, since the broader entertainment world is on hiatus: we’re going to be featuring more recommendations and events from around the internet as we all spend more time at home. There may be only so much Netflix you can watch, but fandom is full of things to create and participate in. Feel free to tell us about cool fandom things that are happening in the comments! First up, a handy primer for all the apps, services, and ways people are hanging out over… Read more
This Week In Fandom, Volume 140
Hello and welcome to This Week in Fandom, the OTW’s roundup of things that are happening! It’s been a strange week for many of us but some things remain reassuringly constant: as Jessica Mason observed in The Mary Sue, Supernatural has a gif for this. Season 5 episode ‘The End’, which aired in 2009, featured a postapocalyptic world in which prophet Chuck Shurley advised Dean to ‘Hoard toilet paper… like it’s made of gold’. Time for a rewatch? We might be stuck rewatching old episodes of our favourite shows for a little while; like many other movie and television productions across the world, production came… Read more
