Online groups are taking new forms as participants spread themselves amongst multiple Internet and offline platforms.

This participant-observation analysis of this fandom shows how sites are interlinked at multiple levels, and identifies several implications for theorists, researchers, developers, industry and independent professionals, and participants.Downloads
