CCD: Wicklow Room-2
When they don’t see themselves on the page or on the screen, fans often reimagine characters, or find space in the canon for representation that wasn’t originally there, by creating their own head-canons of gender, sexuality, race and (dis)ability.

What fanfiction can teach genre writers
CCD: ECOCEM Room
Fanfiction’s popularity continues to grow, tapping into the special creative connection between authors and fans. What is it about this literary nexus that is so fascinating and stimulating for fans? And what might authors have to learn from fans who write it?
The importance of the fanfiction community
CCD: Wicklow Hall-1

Ship ahoy!
CCD: Liffey Room-1

Our panellists will define niche terms, explain why the joy of shipping isn’t relegated to R- or X-rated slash fic, and share and compare their favourite genre ships.
