Fic: Why Fanfiction Is Taking Over the World - Anne Jamison

\nWhat is fanfiction, and what is it not? Why does fanfiction matter? And what makes it so important to the future of literature? \nFic 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. It's a story about literature, community, and technology--about what stories are being told, who's telling them, how, and why. \n \nWith 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 fanfiction--not only how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has. \n \nFic features a foreword by Lev Grossman (author of The Magicians) and interviews with Jonathan Lethem, Doug Wright, Eurydice (Vivean Dean), and Katie Forsythe/wordstrings. \n \nCyndy Aleo (algonquinrt; d0tpark3r) \nV.
