On this site

Talk about the cultural economics of fanwork, data gathering and comparative research between Japanese dojinshi and English-language fanwork, and legal, economic and cultural policy issues related to dojinshi and to fanwork in general. This site is a personal research playground cum treasure hoard, and also a resource in the making about the function of dojinshi in Japan's system of cultural production. Warning: mature or triggering content in fanwork may be discussed here. See research ethics.
