The Art of Dissociation:
Psychological Dimensions of Escapism in Fanfiction and Fandom Communities

The fanfiction and fandom community is a diverse, inclusive space where fans celebrate their love for media through creative expression, collaboration, and advocacy. Through writing fanfiction, creating fanart, and forum-like discussions, fans connect online and at conventions to share their passion for beloved characters and stories, while also addressing important social issues within media.
