Thank you for the kind words Laurence! This is a really special book and we are constantly stunned by how open, vulnerable, and courageous the fandom has been by sharing their stories.
This is super important. My amazing friends @amandatapping, @bradtravelers and @lkao have put together a book about mental health and how fandom can be a positive force there.
Too many people want to paint fandom negatively, turning people into reclusive nerds. The opposite is far more often true.
Just ordered my copy. 149 left. Maybe I'll be stuffing some Christmas stockings with this too!

"These random TV shows" can lift you out of a low place to heights you never imagined. Moon's story is proof.
This is our first featured story from @amandatapping's Purpose: Embracing Mental Health as a Fandom. Moon sent it in early on, before we'd even organized the book into chapters, and it felt like the whole book in one story.
It sits in Chapter 3: Courage, which it has plenty of. But it's also full of humor and humility, loss and longing, friendship and fandom.
I hope you love it. We all did when we first read it.

Purpose is a unique crowdsourced book with over 120 contributor stories and hundreds more fans adding their favourite comfort songs, films, and shows. It's a true snapshot of where fandom has been over the last few years.
We have a paperback edition releasing at the same time for stocking stuffers or you know, for someone like me that will read the paperback and keep the collector's hardback in as pristine a condition as I can, haha.

"Who the heck am I to write a book about mental health?"
That's how Amanda Tapping opens her book Purpose. Swipe to read her full intro, and why she wrote it.

The book also includes hundreds more contributors to help answer questions like favorite comfort songs, films, and shows.
The hardback is limited to 500 copies. There are 150 left, and then they're gone forever. The paperback will also be a single print run, closing before the end of the year.

Can a fandom save a cancelled TV Show?
We take a look at the history of fan-driven campaigns throughout history and how it compares to the latest efforts of the #SaveStargate campaign in our latest video essay:

We're at the stage with over 100 stories shortlisted for our book Embracing Mental Health as a Fandom.
It's been really challenging to visualize how we can layout the book until we started using @Superthread_ . I'm certain this isn't the way the team intended, but...

...by using a bit of a creative way to use the classic Kanban board, Superthread provided a few small features that Trello (which I also love) doesn't provide... counts in the lists.
It makes it so much easier for us to conceptualize shorter and longer chapters and...
