Fanfic. Vers de nouveaux usages passionnés et graphiques by Laurie Liviero

Published March 4, 2026

Fanfic. Vers de nouveaux usages passionnés et graphiques (“Fanfic, towards new passionate and graphic uses”) is a book made by Laurie Liviero as thesis project at Ésac Cambrai in 2025. It was designed using Baste (from Lift Type) and Times New Roman.

Liviero describes her book as follows (translated from the French):

This thesis might never have existed, as it is the successor to many abandoned and discarded topics. It was born from a sentence thrown out into the wind, almost as a joke: Imagine, a thesis on fanfic. Why take the risk? Too popular, too intimate, too loaded with connotations. As if I were going to have to expose myself, no longer able to hide. But behind these doubts, ideas persisted: reinvented stories, reappropriated graphics, shared passions. These issues were ultimately the key, since they now constitute the object you are reading. A testimony that I hope is passionate, critical, and educational, and that I now leave to its own devices. Right here, in the palm of your hands.
