This week's featured article

The main character, Duncan MacLeod, on the cover of Running on Empty, artist is Sophia Kelly Shultz (1998)

Highlander is a franchise about immortal people who can only be killed by beheading. In most versions, they fight with swords because "There can be only one". Whether they are compelled to fight, and the "prize" they'll get if they're the last remaining immortal, varies in different versions.

The franchise started with the 1986 film Highlander. The largest fanworks-producing fandom is for the subsequent TV series Highlander: The Series. Other media in the franchise nominally share a continuity with one or both of these. The canon is varied, with other movies, spin-off shows, and books spanning over two decades, many collaborations of different countries and creators with distinct views on the canon.

Two of the recurring themes explored in both the show and in fanfic are: 1) the loneliness/isolation that being immortal brings and/or knowing about immortality brings; and 2) the struggle of good vs. evil.

April 2025 Membership Drive: For Fans, by Fans

Ever since its foundation in 2007, the Organization of Transformative Works (OTW) has been run for fans, by fans. We’ve been happily overwhelmed by the continued growing interest and support in our projects from the fans of different generations around the world, and we’re extremely grateful for the financial support from OTW members and donors, which has helped us build up a reserve fund while covering our projects’ day-to-day expenses.

Thanks to your generous donations and continuous support, we have been able to keep Fanlore and the rest of our projects, running as a non-profit driven by our volunteers. In light of this, we would like to encourage you to donate and become a member during our first membership drive of this year!

Fanlore is just one of the projects organized by the OTW to preserve fanworks and fannish histories. To learn more about the April 2025 membership drive and the OTW's projects, check out our blog post.

Please donate today to support Fanlore and all of the OTW's projects!
