That's a great comment! I have an article under review at @jcls-io.bsky.social right now that examines the role of time -- including the release of the Hades videogame -- in this data.

My lovely friend Naomi Jacobs (@ladylark.bsky.social) and I wanted to explore the repercussions of the new-found prevalence of AI on fans, fandom and fan studies. Some excellent scholars contributed articles to a special section of @journal.transformativeworks.org, which is out now! Enjoy!

I'm really excited that a collection of fascinating work on fandom, fans and AI that @suzannerblack.bsky.social and I co-edited is out today in the new volume of @journal.transformativeworks.org - and as the journal's first 'New Currents' section! Read our editorial here doi.org/10.3983/twc....

Proud to see my article 'Using Riveter to map gendered power dynamics in Hades/Persephone fan fiction' in @journal.transformativeworks.org, my favorite academic journal.

Want to know how fanfiction portrays power dynamics between these two? Read on!

Mijn nieuwste blogpost voor de Faces of Science van de @knaw-nl.bsky.social staat nu online!

In dit stukje beschrijf ik hoe de ultra-populaire musical Hadestown, momenteel te zien in Carré, elementen uit de Oudheid gebruikt om hedendaagse maatschappelijke problemen aan te kaarten.

Zingend door de Griekse onderwereld

In Hadestown komt de Griekse onderwereld van Hades en Persephone in een musical tot leven. Naast het oude verhaal is er ook ruimte voor een modern probleem: klimaatverandering.

#DH2025: What are we really measuring when we count words? @artjomshl.bsky.social, @philaut.bsky.social & @plechac.bsky.social show how different meters distinctly shape seemingly unrelated feature distributions across Czech, German & Russian #poetry. Their main finding: Mind the meter! #CLS

Yes I was thinking the same thing! Let's talk more about that. Maybe there is a way you could also use Riveter or a similar method?

Using aspect-based #SentimentAnalysis and #VSMs, they explore how angst and fluff in #fanfiction based on #GreekMyth reshape the reception of the #ClassicalCanon … because sometimes readers just want their Greek gods having more drama, sex, and tragedy... #FanStudies #CLS
