Examples

“The widespread interfandom jargon of one's fic being "Jossed" (or invalidated by new canon material, a term derived from Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon), or for elements of a still-incomplete fanfic to be negated or rendered implausible by the development of the canon text, speaks to the creative stakes in authoring fan texts that strive for fidelity.”

“Their [Benedict Cumberbatch fans'] reception of, and engagement with, his portrayal as Richard III through playful fan practices demonstrates the interfandom crossover.”

“Is Game of Thrones's Daenerys Targaryen Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin? […] Questions like these are raised in YouTube videos and on Reddit threads and Tumblr blogs as online interfandom communities use the Hogwarts Houses from J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series (1997–2007) to discuss and interpret characters, emphasizing the series' continuing relevance as it intersects with other popular fandoms.”
