Sumario:PRAXIS [0.1] Abstract--Fan-made videos documenting the history ofvideo games are growing in popularity on social mediaplatforms like YouTube. Considering how fan archives are structured to excludecertain fans and fan practices is necessary to understandwhat kinds of stories fans can tell about their communitiesand how those stories can further marginalize fans of color,queer fans, fans with disabilities, and others who mayalready find themselves on the outskirts of their fandom.
