text: Like Hills (2002) has pointed out, there are norms to adhere to also within the fan community, and there are hierarchies too. "Good" fan practice thus exists internally as well as externally. The intrafandom boundaries built around what is “good” or “bad” fan practice are not different from dominant-cultural boundary building—which seems to imply that “the natural order of things” seeps into the fan culture and provides a wider structure to adhere to.
ref: 2016, Henrik Linden, Sara Linden, Fans and Fan Cultures: Tourism, Consumerism and Social Media, unnumbered page:
