hello, you-
welcome to Headcanon Magazine

Headcanon Magazine is an international & independent publishing project with a fondness for fandoms & folklores. We believe that transformative & derivative works are as creative, legitimate & important as their original source material. Est. 2019.

Our free online literary journal houses poems, mixtapes, interviews, essays, art & stories that explore fan culture, & its various interactions with the larger cultural industry. Our biennial issues are gorgeously-crafted, limited edition keepsakes, devoted to unraveling genres & concepts colouring popular & peripheral discourses. Our live & online gatherings perform canon & its subversions, lores & folklores.

We are devoted to celebrating fan cultures, sharp-eyed & open-mouthed.
