Transformative Works and Cultures has released Issue No. 47, a special issue on Gaming Fandom guest edited by Hayley McCullough and Ashley P. Jones.

Essays in this issue explore fan creativity in gaming fandoms and discuss a number of fan-made works and productions, including fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, mods, and fan-made games.

Each issue includes articles representing theory, fannish meta, and book reviews, such as:

• Video game modifications as an extension of Jameson’s postmodernism: The case of Fallout: London
• The power of queer: Reimagining sexuality of female characters in “Genshin Impact”
• Slash fiction to mainstream: An analysis of strategies used for queering characters in League of Legends

We accept submissions for our general issues on a rolling basis. We particularly invite fans to submit Symposium articles.

TWC’s issues in progress include:

• Disability and Fandom
• Music Fandom
• Latin American Fandoms

We accept submissions for our general issues on a rolling basis. The general issue is always released on September 15.
