About this ebook:
The purpose of this study is to explore the literacy practices members of an online fan community engage in to participate in the space and to question what learning happens through that participation. This dissertation is the product of a two-year virtual, ethnographic study of The Sims Writers’ Hangout (SWH), a discussion forum website established by fans of The Sims to support members’ interests in creating and sharing Sims fan fiction. Affinity space theory informs an understanding of SWH’s organization, and a definition of literacies as situated, social practices also frames the study. Data were collected following a discourse-centered online ethnographic approach, which guidedsystematic observation and interactions with eight key informants. The data corpusincludes hundreds of pages of discussion forum posts, member profiles, moderator-created norming texts, numerous digital, multimodal Sims fan fiction texts, virtual interview responses from informants, field notes, and additional virtual artifacts, such as informants’ websites and Flickr ® photostreams. Study results are presented within three separate manuscripts prepared for publication and presentation, each exploring different lines of inquiry related to SWH.
