fanfic as lit

[owlmoose]

Okay, I know I am way over my posting quota these days, but I just had to share this right away (found it by following a link in madlori's blog).

The Democratic Genre: Fanfiction in a Literary Context. A scholarly work about fanfic, examined from a literary persepective rather than considering it as a social phenomanon. And high time, I say. The first chapter is published online; I'm about halfway through and it is utterly fascinating. Anyone interested in literature should look at this.

Unfortunately it only seems to be available from Amazon UK. I'm pretty tempted to buy it anyway.

Hmm, there's an import CD I want from there too. I wonder if it would make sense to combine the orders...

That's a really good idea, to combine the shipping from the UK. If we place the order very soon it might even ship to you in time for me to pick it up when I see you in December. Let's talk.
