Memetic logics and participation play an increasingly important role in online communication and community-building. They have consequences for online fandom and the way fans create and circulate their works. Based on an ethnographic study of the Call of Duty fandom on TikTok from 2022 to 2023, we e...

The analysis demonstrates how creators must communicate with both algorithms and audiences on TikTok and how they need to take into account the platformization of bodies and the standardizing effects of video editing software in fannish endeavors. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Transformative Works & Cultures is the property of Organization for Transformative Works - Karen Hellekson and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
