Your examples can include any of the following: fan art, fan music, fan films (or fan trailers), fan fiction, or cosplay. Using these terms as search terms is a good place to start poking around the net for examples.

  • Your examples can be from the same category (e.g., two examples of fan art), of they can be from different categories (e.g., an example of cosplay and an example of a fan film).
  • You can also choose something that does not fit neatly into any of the categories of produsage identified in this week's Module (e.g., an action figure or doll that was made by a fan).
  • You can select any fandom or fan culture you like. There are plenty of examples of fandoms in the section: "Fan Cultures: What are They?". You do not need to limit yourself to the fan cultures discussed in this week's Module (though you can use any of the ones we discussed, if you want).
  • Your examples can be from the same fan culture, or from two different ones.
  • You can also use examples from your own life (e.g., cosplay you have engaged in or fan art that you have created), though you are not required to do so.
  • Do not use any of the specific examples of produsage (e.g., Anderson Our Gang, Prelude to Axanar, "Bump of Chicken-Acacia," Master of the Universe, "Fan-o-Rama," etc.) that I already used in this week's Module.
  • If you want to give us some examples of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cosplay, for instance, do not use the image/example I already used this week. Use other images/examples instead.
  • Your examples should illustrate, in some way, concepts covered in this week's class (see below).

As part of your post:

  • Identify the fan culture or fandom that your produsage examples represent. For example, tell us if your example of a fan film is from the Trekkie fandom and if your example of fan art from the Twihard fan culture. If the fandom (or fandoms) you select does not have a name, tell us that (and be sure you are correct).
  • Tell us what category each of your examples falls into. That is, identify each as an example of cosplay, movie-based sport, fan art, fan films, fan fiction, or fan music. Also, tell us if your examples fall into any specific sub-categories. For instance:
    • Is your example of fan fiction also an example of shipping or slash? Moreover, could it be an example of such shipping genres as polyshipping or wrongshipping?
    • Is your example of fan art also an example of Duplication/Reproduction, OC's. Cross-over/Alternate Universe (AU), or Shipping?
    • Is it a remix (as described in the Module section: "The Remix Culture")?
    • Is it an example of "Covid Culture?"
    • Is your example a "cosplay fail?"
  • If your examples of produsage contributes in any way to diversity in media representation, you should also comment specifically on that and draw our attention to that feature of fandoms, as discussed in this week's Module.
  • Alternatively, if you think either of your examples is evidence of a "toxic fan culture" (as discussed in this week's Module section: "Toxic Fandoms"), you should share that insight with us as well.
  • Do your examples of produsage illustrate any other significant point or concept covered in this week's Module (e.g., how same-sex slash is often written by and for heterosexual women)?
  • Finally, share your own opinion of the produsage examples you provide
