The new issue of fan studies academic journal
Transformative Works and Cultures (Vol
22) is out now. Among other articles, it also includes my article (co-authored with Tereza Krobová) about everyday history and historical discourses in fan art discussions of
Mass Effect Trilogy and
Tomb Raider series. The whole article entitled
Historicizing video game series through fan art discourses is available to read online for free thanks to the public access policy of the journal. It features analyses of fan discussions on
DeviantArt of all-time favorite pieces of fan art inspired by Mass Effect and Tomb Raider and also selected discussions of fan art pieces created short after the unveiling of the newest installments in both franchises at E3 - Andromeda (upcoming) and Rise of the Tomb Raider (2015). I would like to thank the editors and reviewers for their helpful comments and to fan artists
velladona and
James--C for the permission to use their artworks in the article.
