I'm presenting a poster at our university's digital humanities summer school today about my PhD research, with a focus on how I'm using digital tools to communicate findings. In some parts, about how I'm planning to use them - some of these things are only just ready to be kicked off, since I've just started writing things up for real. Click the image to embiggen! Very giant PDF version here.

My brief mention of fans' resistance to commercialization is a massive and slightly inaccurate generalization, of course. There are many valid and complex reasons for any resistance, and much variation among fans and fandoms in how people approach possible monetization of fic and other fanworks. I didn't have space for all that nuance on this poster, but hopefully I can talk about it more when people come to see it.
