Reviving this account to share my proudest creation since AF's birth:
Canon Compliant 01: Distant Similarity, by @FaultsActive open.substack.com/pub/active…

Can't believe China made the "vivasayam panraa bundamane" meme real
(from the latest @FaultsActive)
Happy new year! Hopping on this long dormant account to say that I’ve opened the Chat for AF on Substack: open.substack.com/chat/posts… where you can let me know your thoughts.
Also accidentally started this thread in @niubi ‘s chat window instead of my own just now (IM SO SORRY i am technologically challenged) but hey check out both!
Last two issues of AF on male-male homoerotic fanfiction, their female creators and its bonding power:

✨Many thanks to Nathanel Amar @nathanelamarHK, Emily Liu @emwritingnow @FaultsActive and the Shanghai shoegaze quartet RUBUR for taking the time to chat with me. 多谢！🙏💕 (2/2)
Had so much fun! Subscribe to @idolcast 🙌🏻
And we're live! @FaultsActive and the BL Canon!
We discuss #BL dramas, Xiao Zhan and Zhang Zehan's PR fiascos, #EstherYi's incredible "Y/N" and whether #Taemin is the inspiration behind Moon, the most compelling idol in the world, and so much more!

Why would I not block someone who calls me a stalker out of nowhere and refuses to follow up on that when I pointed it out? You’re earning another block on this account too, I’m sorry

Just recorded a fun episode with @FaultsActive on BL, fanfic, Esther Yi's excellent novel Y/N, what goes on in idol fandom in China, being a global K-Pop fan, and much much more!
Come leave your thoughts here: substack.com/profile/8493312…

.@FaultsActive and @emwritingnow on the "teeth-grinding and ambivalent dynamic between Chinese K-Pop fans, other non-Chinese fans and Korean celebrities," and the one weird metric that functions like the GDP of idol fandom: activefaults.substack.com/p/…
a belated thank you to @happeningchina for the shout-out 🎉 check out this weekly digest of news in the motherland and this list of newsletters on China! most provide more useful information than yours truly. :p

Two weeks of #wip in one update - this is a good one: career fans, dreamgirls, shippers vs. solo stans and private life enthusiasts. Enjoy!

Completly agree that fan studies are sidelined as an academic discipline - particularly because of the whole "fangirl" media associations with - screamers since the 1950s. So, it's time to overcome the "misrepresentation of #fanquan as a space of neurosis and irrationality".
@ChaoyangTrap - my main provider of Sinospheric news, analysis & fandom survole has closed.
Yet here's Em's Women’s History Month #fanquan analysis with a specific look at female celebrity fans in #China. Highly #recommended!
