Headcanon Magazine: Interview Correspondent

Overview
Headcanon Magazine positions itself as a critical and appreciative chronicle of fan labour—the often-invisible work of fan page owners, fic writers, zine makers, and others who sustain participatory cultures. The Interview Correspondent role is not a staff writing position but a curatorial one: the correspondent identifies subjects, pitches them to the Editor-in-Chief, and then develops and revises interview questions, corresponding directly with interviewees to shape conversations that are thoughtful, polished, and insightful. The magazine's editorial scope is deliberately broad, moving through both popular and peripheral cultures, which suggests an interest in the full ecology of fandom rather than only its most visible nodes. This is a voluntary position, with no set number of pitches or interviews. That absence of a quota is not a lack of rigour; it is an invitation to work at the pace of genuine curiosity. The correspondent will be expected to admire fan labour as much as the editors do, and to be delighted—not merely willing—to spotlight the people, practices, and communities that make these cultures possible. The role is remote and online, and no fee is charged to apply. For writers and critics whose interests lie in fandom, participatory culture, and the ethics of care and labour, this is an opportunity to build a body of interview work within a magazine that treats fan production as a serious subject. The correspondent's byline will accrue through conversations that are shaped with intention, not through volume. The editorial vision is one of attention: to the fan page owner, the fic writer, the zine maker, and others whose practices are often overlooked by mainstream cultural coverage.
