The Into A Larger World Project

The Into A Larger World (IALW) Project is a dedicated podcast and zine meticulously documenting the rich history of Star Wars fandom. Born from the creator's experience researching for their zine, IALW addresses the fragmented nature of early fandom information by compiling and sharing these stories in a comprehensive and engaging format. Launched in September 2020, the project has cultivated a strong community, boasting 134 members, with 96 actively supporting the project financially. This support has generated an estimated $451 in monthly revenue, a testament to the project's value and resonance within the Star Wars fandom. What distinguishes IALW is its singular focus on chronicling the evolution of fandom itself, providing a unique perspective for both long-time fans and those newly interested in the cultural phenomenon surrounding Star Wars. The project's success demonstrates the significant demand for well-researched and engaging content about the historical context of fandom communities.
