xiv, 418 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm 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 an 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. With 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 world(s) of fanfiction -- not 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) Foreword / Lev Grossman -- Writing from sources -- The Sherlock Holmes material: A study in fanfic -- Science fiction, Star Trek, and the birth of media fandom -- Interlude: Growing up fic -- The X-Files, Buffy, and the rise of the Internet fic fandoms -- Megafandoms: Harry Potter and Twilight -- Fic and publishing -- Fanwriting today -- Fanfiction and writers who don't write fanfiction. / Anne Jamison Fan fiction Fan fiction -- History and criticism 809.3 JAM 9781939529190 :International Book Distributors :Flat No 14, Prakash Apartment 5 Ansari Road Darya Ganj New Delhi 181211 20181220163448.0
