Hi, I’m Ashley Johnson—rhetoric nerd, fandom scholar, and the creator of Fandom Atlas.
I started this project during my master’s program in Communication Studies to explore how fandom communities offer more than just entertainment—they offer belonging. When I was struggling with isolation and depression, the stories I turned to—Star Wars, Marvel, Doctor Who—helped me feel seen. They helped me feel connected.
Fandom Atlas is the result of that journey. It’s a cultural guide to fandoms and well-being, rooted in academic research and built with love. Here, you’ll find digital workbooks, creative assignments, and reflection prompts that use fandom culture as a gateway to explore identity, resilience, and community.
I believe storytelling through television can be a lifeline. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just getting curious, Fandom Atlas is here to help you discover your people, find your voice, and remember that you’re never alone.
