AMERICAN* FUJO* is an anthology zine organized and edited by tshirt3000 and Alexis Rippen, who describe it as a "literary journal about the intersections of gender & sexuality, power, and virtual space in fandom."[1]
We asked our contributors questions along those lines: How has being a fan affected your gender or sexuality? Who is a fujoshi, who wants to be one, and who doesn’t get the choice? In America-centric fan spaces, what is necessarily suppressed? How can we trouble the category and dominance of “American” from within and without? Finally, what does it mean to be in a community that’s overwhelmingly virtual, as reliant on digital social platforms as it is on fictional media, both owned by another party? And what affects or acts are uniquely enabled by these virtualized desires and sexuality?
