N2 - In the chapter, “Hurt, Comfort and Intimacy: Representations of Diabetes in Fan Fiction,” Justine Debelius approaches the realm of fan fiction. In Debelius’ analysis of the subgenre of “Hurt/Comfort,” she explores the depiction of the diabetic character’s emotional vulnerability. According to Debelius, Hurt/Comfort fan fiction stories depict diabetic characters as reacting to stigma in two primary ways: receiving caretaking and taking control. Debelius argues that the diversity of perspectives in this genre speak to different aspects of the lived diabetic experience, and what “one diabetic considers comforting may in fact, be another’s fear.”
