Fic
Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World | Anne Elizabeth Jamison
16 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
What is fanfiction, and what is it not? Why does fanfiction matter? And what makes it so important to the future of literature? Fic is a groundbreaking exploration of the history and culture of fan writing and what it means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. Its a story about literature, community, and technologyabout what stories are being told, whos telling them, how, and why. With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter, Twilight, and beyond, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfictionnot only how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has. Fic features a foreword by Lev Grossman (author of The Magicians) and interviews with Jonathan Lethem, Doug Wright, and Eurydice (Vivean Dean). Cyndy Aleo (algonquinrt; d0tpark3r) V.

Got in a little reading (Star Trek: Deep Space nine #fanfic for the curious) before the alarm went off. My #cyoreadathon has begun! Now to get through work so I can get to the fun stuff planned this weekend 🙂.

1️⃣ "Known Associates" by thingswithwongs, a novel-length Captain America fanfic dealing with gender identity and disphoria. It's very well-written.
2️⃣ "Sorry, Rogers," the foreman says, not even looking up from his clipboard. "We're gonna have to let you go."
3️⃣ Reccer Galia said: "Genuinely heartbreaking and tearfully joyful all at the same time. I also love politically active socialist!Steve."

#Snowday movie and pop corn for the boy, as a reward for doing an especially difficult home work assignment, and I'm reading fanfic, because I deserve a treat too.

I've done it again. I barely have time to read any more and I've gone and spent all of my reading time for the last week in a fanfic binge. Fun, it's true, but I have a bajillion books I want to read! Time to refocus.

Nooks are a beautiful thing, as they allow reading fanfic in your favorite store before subjecting yourself to depressing films

Tonight a six year fandom friendship exploded, a "friendship" that was one of the reasons I walked away from fandom in the first place because I don't, and will NEVER, understand why ship-hating exists. So I wanted to thank all of YOU, my dear Littens, for keeping this space drama free. It's so wonderful to have a space where nothing matters except a mutual love of books.

LauraBrook I'm sorry that happened, it's so tough and frustrating and strange when a friendship ends. Litsy is a wonderful haven! 7y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag I don't really get online hate in general... 7y
Robothugs Oh dear. I gave this a heart for the latter half. It's really sad to have a long friendship end, no matter the circumstances. I've had one end this past year, so I understand some what you must be feeling. I'm so glad we are able to keep the good vibes going on Litsy. 💕We are here for you! 7y

Between working, the Cubs celebration downtown, and celebrating my birthday today, I am pooped. Ringing in another year with some fanfic before hitting the hay. Here's to another year of geeking out over books with fun, smart people.

Libby1 Happy birthday! I hope you enjoyed the Cubs celebration. I'm originally from Chicago. 😃 7y
mdemanatee @Libby1 I still had to work, but I enjoyed the energy the city had going yesterday! 7y
