CAG! 102 - You Got Your Cosplay in My Comic! with Rachel Ashley-Lovelace
Channel: Jerzy Drozd
Date: 2014-09-19

Talking about the role of fandom on CAG!

Whatever your stance on cosplay, one can't deny that it's an active arena in fan participation with media. Is it simply a distracting branch that interferes with the "pure" transactions between fans and creators? Or is it a means for fans to enrich their participation with the creations themselves? When fandoms form around a creation, how should a creator respond?

This time I'm joined by Rachel Ashley-Lovelace for a discussion on the culture of fandoms and cosplay and how they might coexist with the creative forces that inform them.

AADL Production Librarian Anne Drozd also drops by for another round of book recommendations!
