Fandom vs The Courts: Fan Fiction and Fair Use

Fandom vs The Courts: Fan Fiction and Fair Use is an 4-page article by Judith Gran that was published in Alderaan #13. It is a response to an article in "Alderaan" #10 (October 1980) by Carol Mularski entitled The Quest for Legitimacy: Copyright Practices and Possible Infringement in Fan Fiction.
The entire subject of the legality of fan fiction became very visible with George Lucas' crackdown a few months later. See Open Letter to Star Wars Zine Publishers by Maureen Garrett.
The Mularski article argued that some fanfiction may be legal, but probably was not. The Gran article argued that while Mularski made many interesting points, it was flawed.

Fandomstuck

Fandomstuck, (also known as Fandombound) is a Homestuck alternate universe. Fandomstuck works feature original characters that are anthropomorphic personifications of fandoms for various works, often embodying or parodying common fan behavior, attitudes and practices.
==History==
Fandomstuck traces its roots back to the friendship between the Axis Powers Hetalia and Homestuck fandoms — fans of Hetalia interjected during the various hiatuses/gigapauses in the Homestuck publication schedule to offer words of comfort and conciliation to distraught Homestuck fans. A significant number of Homestuck fans were also fans of Axis Powers Hetalia, resulting in a large overlap in the two's fanbase. This friendship and familiarity led to the common sentiment that the Hetalia fandom acted as the Homestuck fandom's Moirail.
Though it's difficult to pinpoint the introduction of Anthropomorphic Personification into the equation, it was likely the propensity of Hetalia fans for generating such personifications that birthed the first iterations of the characters. Homestuck fans, who were notable for their desire to cross over with everything, blew the initial concept out of the water. More and more fandom personifications began to crop up, including Doctor Who, Supernatural, Sherlock, Puella Magi Madoka Magica, My Little Pony, Harry Potter, and even fandom personifications of extant fanworks such as Hivefled. What began with one-off character designs and art pieces eventually grew to encompass askblogs, short comics, voice-acting, Homestuck-style 'Fanadventures', and a large tumblr-based rp community.
In late 2013, tumblr user and game developer Mistiryshak released Fandomstuck RPG, a free-to-download RPGmaker-based game featuring Fandomstuck characters.

Fandom’s Race Problem and the AO3 Ship Stats

Fandom’s Race Problem and the AO3 Ship Stats is a 2016 Tumblr meta essay by centrumlumina, the author of the AO3 Ship Stats series. It analyses data, collected as part of the Ship Stats series, on the most popular ships on AO3 and the race of the characters they feature. centrumlumina uses this data to draw various conclusions about fandom's attitude to race and why fandoms of every kind privilege white characters with unerring frequency.
==Context==
The AO3 Ship Stats project originated in 2013 as a list of the most popular ships on AO3 by fic count. The original 2013 list was more focused on the gender of the characters involved in ships, and there was no race data included;A ranked list of the most popular relationship tags on AO3. by centrumlumina via Tumblr. Published August 17, 2013 (Accessed July 14, 2019). however, beginning in 2014, centrumlumina began to also highlight the race of the characters in each ship, using the following categories: White, POC, and Ambiguous.2014 Top 100 List by centrumlumina via Tumblr. Published July 14, 2014 (Accessed July 14, 2019). Refer to Race Categorisations for more detail on these categories.
In a FAQ about the 2016 edition of the AO3 Ship Stats, centrumlumina wrote that "the data [in the Ship Stats posts] is presented in order to highlight the lack of fanfiction focused on women, F/F pairings, and People of Colour."AO3 Ship Stats 2016: FAQ by centrumlumina via Tumblr. Published August 4, 2016 (Accessed July 14, 2019). This was the first year in which she explicitly mentioned highlighting race as one of her motivations for assembling the list (the previous year, she simply directed readers to her analysis posts Misogyny? and Why M/M? for more on her opinions about the data), suggesting an increasing desire to focus on the issue of race in shipping.
===Race Categorisations===
In the guide to the 2014 AO3 Ship Stats post - the first to include race categorisations - centrumlumina explained the categories used in her data as follows:
The following year, she expanded on this in the FAQ for 2015's ship stats, writing:
centrumlumina added in the 'The Data Set' section of 'Fandom’s Race Problem and the AO3 Ship Stats' that she would be "ignoring the racially ambiguous category and focussing on the characters who are canonically POC".Fandom’s Race Problem and the AO3 Ship Stats by centrumlumina via Tumblr. Published August 13, 2016 (Accessed July 14, 2019). 
The established race categories from the AO3 Ship Stats list were then broken down into more detailed sub-categories for the purposes of the post, using "either the actor’s race or, in the case of animated roles ... a best guess based on character design and my knowledge of the fandom". A new "Unknown" category was created to encompass three characters from the Dragon Age franchise "who belonged to fantasy non-white races with no clear real-world analogue".

Fanexus

Fanexus is an upcoming social media fandom and wiki. They hope to allow "whatever is legal", tweet by fanexus, 12 January 2020. archive.is copy. regarding fanworks.
In March 2020, noting that beta release was delayed more than intended (possibly in part because of the COVID pandemic), they opened a Proboards Forum and related Discord server for the adult content., tweet by fanexus, 27 March 2020. Applications were vetted, not automatically approved, to avoid antis. 
==Controversies==
In November 2020, one of the Fanexus volunteers left the organization. Puppy had been volunteering in the Public Relations role and after some interpersonal issues with mods on the server, they left of their own accord before being banned. In the aftermath of this event, many screenshots from both sides were shared on Twitter. 
The controversy was over whether the other mods had bullied Puppy into leaving or if Puppy was not competent in their role., fail_fandomanon, 2020-11-21.
The mods of the Discord server then took some time to craft a statement in response to the event. That statement was posted in all of the Discord channels, including public ones. It was then also threaded on Twitter by a member of the server, with their own commentary., 29 November 2020.
Another controversy brewing since August 2020 (or earlier) involved accusations that one of the other mods supposedly self-identified as a "MAP" (minor attracted person aka pedophile) or was friends with a MAP and had previously run a discord server that allowed inappropriate interactions between minors and adults. Since Fanexus is a proshipper project, and a common accusation by antishippers is that proshippers are "pedophiles" or "pedophile-supporters", there was some doubt about the veracity of the claims, but in this case the accusation has been treated with some legitimacy at fail_fandomanon, a non-antishipper forum., 2021-02-10., 2022-05-16. Fanexus has stated that their policy is to ban anyone who makes a post "encouraging or glorifying real adult/child sex"., 8 August 2020.

Fanfare (science fiction zine)

Fanfare was the clubzine of The Stranger Club, a Boston-based science fiction fanclub. Its most frequent editor was Art Widner.
Issue 4 apparently contained an article by Joe Gilbert titled Makings of a Misogynist, in which Gilbert hoped for more women to join science fiction fandom. Several fans including Forrest J Ackerman and Don Thompson wrote in to issue 5 to say that Gilbert had ignored several well-known female fans like Morojo, Mary Kornbluth, Mary Rogers and Pogo.Forrest J Ackerman: "I myt asr his question as to whether Morojo reads the pros (he surmises "She probably doesn't") by saying she reads Astounding, Unknown & Hornig's mags rather regularly, plus any particular story in any other pro which I myt recommend or which myt prove important or popular." Fairy Tale. Fanfare issue 5 pg. 22 (December 1940)Don Thompson: "I know a femfan who reads all the pros, and many of the fanags, who I think will soon be contributing considerably toward filling the need Joe mentions. She has a collection to rival the best of them." Classified Stinks. Fanfare issue 5 pg. 24 (December 1940) Louis Russell Chauvenet questioned whether Gilbert understood the definition of "misogynist".Louis Russell Chauvenet: "Has Gilbert a good idea of what a misogynist is? His remarks hardly go to show that he is a misogynist--he says, for example, that the fan circle needs more women in it!" Not So Dumb. Fanfare issue 5 pg. 28 (December 1940) Gilbert himself listed it as one of the top two "lousiest fan articles" later in issue 5.Joe Gilbert: Slan!-der. Fanfare issue 5 pg. 13 (Dec. 1940)
H.C. Koenig had a regular column in which he pointed out various examples of bad writing and opinions in fanzines and prozines alike.
== Reviews ==
In January 1941, Earl Singleton of the Stranger Club committed pseuicide, and with his absence the club lost access to the hectograph at MIT. Several readers commented on the poor hectoing of Fanfare #6.
