In the last 18 months, fans have been paid for fanfic, have licensed fanart to networks and shows for use on T-shirts and DVDs, crowdfunded projects, created and played apps for and with actors and films, published books that started out as fanfic, encouraged US courts to clarify what's in the public domain, and advanced creativity and cultural discussions every day. Compared to 2004- or even 2010- connections between fandom and transmedia storytelling have changed vastly, but on ArchiveOfOurOwn, Wattpad, tumblr, and Vine, and at fancons, meetups and online, the "gift culture" and traditions of transformative works endure. Explore the landscape of fandom, transmedia and transformative works with Orlando Jones (Sleepy Hollow), Flourish Klink (chief participation officer at The Alchemists), Professor Henry Jenkins (provost professor of communication, journalism, and cinematic arts, USC) and Aron Levitz (Wattpad) in a discussion moderated by Heidi Tandy (FYeahCopyright.tumblr.com) (and crashed by Misha Collins (Supernatural) Recorded live at San Diego Comic Con on Friday, July 25, 2014 7:30pm - 8:30pm  in Room 26AB
