| book description |

Exploring Doctor Who Fandom Through Screenwriting Practice‑As‑Research: Otherness, Intersectionality and Fan Studies explores the diversity of fans and how they form and express their identity within fandom. Main themes in this book include otherness, fans with disabilities, fans within the LGBTQIA+ community, and how fandom can enrich the life of a fan. This book asks readers how a fan develops and performs their identity and proposes a screenwriting practice methodology. Otherness in this scenario includes people who have disabilities are within the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and are neurodiverse. Screenwriting methodology also allows concepts such as disability, sexuality, and otherness to be humanized through characterization and world building as seen in screenwriting practice. Exploring Doctor Who Fandom Through Screenwriting Practice‑As‑Research: Otherness, Intersectionality and Fan Studies examines world building, characterization, and story arcs that explore the development of fan identity and how otherness through fandom is expressed. It draws on the lived experience of the author as a disabled LGBTQIA+ aca‑fan to add a layer of authenticity to the research. By offering a unique perspective on fandom and identity and how screenwriting methodology is a viable approach to researching these concepts, it looks to spread understanding of a neglected point of view and enhance future works. Readers who would be interested in this book are scholars and students of fandom theory, screenwriting practice, and those interested in the development and expression of identity as a fan.
