An interesting new journal ...

... just announced (meaning no issues yet) is Transformative Works and Cultures, which describes itself thus:
TWC publishes articles about popular media, fan communities, and transformative works, broadly conceived. We invite papers on all related topics, including but not limited to fan fiction, fan vids, mashups, machinima, film, TV, anime, comic books, video games, and any and all aspects of the communities of practice that surround them. TWC’s aim is twofold: to provide a publishing outlet that welcomes fan-related topics, and to promote dialogue between the academic community and the fan community.
Co-editors Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse also edited the collection Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet: New Essays; Busse teaches at the University of South Alabama in Mobile.

Hey Andy,

I saw your name pop up in my vanity google search and realized we'd totally lost touch since I hadn't been to ICFA in a couple of years. Hope you're doing great and thanks for posting about our journal.
