For instance, a Final Fantasy fan gathering was organised to meet near Westfield White City at the Louise Vuitton advert, featuring Lightening from Final Fantasy XIII for group photos – as well as individual photographs with the advert (see Figure 5.6). This suggests that the relation of fans with their object of fandom is not limited to the purely textual; performances and social interaction with other fans were also key aspects of these experiences (Sandvoss, 2002).
