In a readable, personal style, Katherine Anderson Howell shows the overlaps between disability studies and fan studies, analyzing how fandom operates in physical and digital fan spaces. She argues that it is time for fan studies to let go of the idea of fans in general as marginalized or as powerless groups. \u003cbr\u003e Anderson Howell examines how key fandom platforms--including cons, Tumblr, Archive of Our Own, Instagram, Reddit, and TikTok--set up user interfaces that may mask their true values, potentially decreasing access and creating a system by which disability remains stigmatized. Readers will find case studies of fan fiction, disability influencers, anti-fans, trolls, and celebrities. The argument is made for incorporating disability into the analytical tools of fandom so that we may begin with better tools and better questions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Anderson Howell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609389670\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609389673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Katherine Anderson Howell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451187941631,"sku":"9781609389673","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_76977c8e-6d30-435c-bb23-328b5dbf28d5.jpg?v=1735876718","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-and-fandom-katherine-anderson-howell-9781609389673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
