Rather than fanfiction as a practice through which fans express emotional connections with popular media texts, I argue that fans write fanfiction about school shooters and mass killers not as a means of showing their ‘love’ for the perpetrators, but as a way to recontextualize and understand their motives and actions.	cache/spir-13029.pdf	txt/spir-13029.txt
