"Fanfiction is not only text but also community and culture. The study of fanfiction is also the study of fans." Our workshop on the Problems and Prospects of Computational Fanfiction Research at #DHBenelux2026 is off to a great start!
The hardship of having to finish my dissertation is softened somewhat by the views of beautiful Venice.
Call to all early-career scholars in computational fanfiction research who may want to attend DH Benelux 2026!

What a great experience to present my research on smells in fanfiction – conducted together with @merpeltje.bsky.social – at #DHBenelux2025. The crowd was awesome, thanks for the lovely questions!
Once more, I want to thank everyone who made possible the awarding of Christine Mohrmann Stipends to 10 PhD-candidates at Radboud University. I'm honored to be one of the awardees and looking forward to all the international and interdisciplinary research activities the stipend makes possible.
Some days my job really is the best. Awesome kickoff for the Faces of Science yesterday, and I was very inspired by the Sisters in Science, who taught me a lot about science communication.
Pleased to present some of my research on fanfiction and fanfiction-comments this morning!
Very excited to be in Leiden this week to talk about the impact of reading. Many thanks to Katja Tereshko and all the other wonderful organizers and guests, including @jorisvanzundert.bsky.social, @fpianz.bsky.social and others 😄
"Why are you a child?" "Because of when I was born." So far, #severance s2 is living up to my astronomical expectations.
Yesterday, I presented a masterclass entitled 'Fanfiction: Who, What, Where, Why?' to a group of wonderfully engaged, smart and curious students from various Dutch secondary schools. Some days my job really is the best.
