Abstract
This chapter describes fans’ affective play at Gallifrey One, a contemporary Doctor Who fan convention. In contrast to the Supernatural fan convention, where fan-created events happen outside the boundaries of Creation’s stage, at the Doctor Who fan convention, fan-events dominate. This chapter explores two aspects of fandom at the convention: LobbyCon, the unofficial mingling of guest and fan, and ribbon culture, the exchange of ribbons for badges. Much like SuperWhoLock asks fans to position the fan-reading more centrally than it does any particular textual reading, LobbyCon reveals the tension between hierarchies in fandom while the garnering of ribbons highlights a transformative aspect to fan conventions.
