Abstract

This conclusion to Crossing Fandoms explores the SuperWhoLock crossover as a metaphor for heterogeneous fan cultures. The chapter examines fan antagonism and fan affect. The flattening of affect in the digital age seemingly negates the difference between fan groups, but SuperWhoLock reveals tensions at the heart of fan culture. SuperWhoLock presents an unusual case where the antagonism is neither completely directed outside the text nor completely directed inside the fandom. Rather, SuperWhoLock antagonism emerges from the tension between the non-canon aspects of the corpus and the requisite fan experiences of the original three texts.
