摘要

2020年，知名同人小说网站Archive of Our Own在中国无法访问，原因是一位名人的粉丝对他在同人小说中被描绘成性别认同障碍感到不满。这一事件导致许多中国同人小说平台加强了对男孩之恋（BL）内容的监管，给作家带来了挑战。本研究采访了事件后的中国BL同人小说作家，探讨了他们在不断缩小的创作空间中导航的策略。文章认为，中国目前的粉丝文化是资本驱动的、以数据为中心的、商业化的，形成了一种“粉丝圈”文化，重新定义了“成为粉丝”的含义。

“I feel like a ‘cyber-gypsy’”: BL fanfiction writers in China's changing landscape of fandom culture

In 2020, Archive of Our Own, a renowned fanfiction website, became inaccessible in China due to mass reporting by a celebrity's fans upset about him being portrayed as having a gender identity disorder in a fanfiction. This event led to increased regulation of Boys' Love (BL) content on many Chinese fanfiction platforms, posing challenges for writers. This study interviews Chinese BL fanfiction writers post-incident and explores their strategies for navigating the shrinking creative space. It argues that China's current fandom culture is capital-driven, data-centric, and commercial, fostering a “fanquan (fan circle)” culture that redefines the meaning of “being a fan.”

期刊介绍： The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world. The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named "classics," or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies" elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called "low" and "high" culture and focuses on filling in the gaps that a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.
