A recent special issue of @TWC_Comms featured two excellent articles on Discord and fandom - to celebrate, I asked the editors and authors what studying fans can teach us about Discord writ large. Read more in the @darc_mode's latest Research Roundup! ✨🤠https://t.co/TdkcG0a0Lc

[Celeste O. @celesteywen]

So thrilled to have two pieces out in the new #TWC issue, just in time for #SCMS24 ! Many thanks to my wonderful co-authors and the TWC team. Really happy to continue work on platforms in the fandom space, and can’t wait to read the rest of the pieces!!

Fun times presenting at #FSNNA22 !! It was wonderful to be joined by such fantastic scholars and talk about Discord :)

[Maria K. Alberto, PhD (✍️🏼 a book proposal!!) @MariaKAlberto]

Next up at #FSNNA22 Discord panel, Celeste Oon discusses fan capital w/ creators (influencers, streamers) who interact w/ fans directly

Discord affordances like roles give communities 'inherent' hierarchies; both discursive & material bounds; more liked by creator = more power

[Fan Studies Network North America (FSNNA) @FSNNorthAmerica]

Coming up in 25 min, our first dual-track roundtables of #FSNNA22 day three! In Talk Room 1, Intimacy & Hierarchy in Fan Discord Servers, with @kocik_david, Celeste Oon, Michael Senters, Camille Butera, and @theiceberge. 12:00pm ET (US).

The entire grad school application process has been long but rewarding; I’ve learned a lot about myself as a scholar and have met so many other fantastic students. Now to make those big decisions… :)

[Celeste O. @celesteywen]

A little more real than I’d like to admit…

sorry i didnt text back all week my body became a vessel for the spirit of academia and for the last 5 days i have existed only to complete assignments and post on discussion boards

[Celeste O. @celesteywen]

A huge thank you to all of the organizers and participants at #FSNNA20 for creating such an amazing and welcoming conference experience! I had such a wonderful time learning from everyone’s work and meeting new people.

[Celeste O. @celesteywen]

Love the fact that I can sit down and write my fic for the rest of the night and it actually counts as doing work. Oh, the joys of fanfiction assignments.
