“fan studies has become a destination rather than a journey” (Booth 2016, 232).
"fan culture is often motivated by a complex balance between fascination and frustration, affirmation and transformation. Because cultural materials fascinate fans, they sustain their interests. Because they are also frustrating, fans actively rework them."
