kippurbirdNew project idea.
A book of essays on how fandom is a response to today's media. It'll include anything from books to internet stuff. Fan fiction to Twilight fans. I think I want it to focus on things like how fan fiction is a bit more prevalent than people think
A couple of topics I came up with at lunch, so you get the idea of where I'm going with it:
1. Pride Prejudice and Zombies: Does the zombie apocalypse really improve Jane Austin? (Or is it just a weird bit of fan fic?)
2. Running the asylum: Joe Queseda and One New Day
3. ....In High School! Shakespeare found in the strangest places: Ten Things I Hate About You and O
4. Oh Mary Sue what shall I do? How a Mary Sue explores and examines a fan's likes and dislikes in a published work.
5. Slash fan fiction: Sure it's not canon but damn those guys are hot! What causes pairings in slash?
6. Torchwood: Slash fic or modern sexuality on TV?
[Poll #1493639]
I think if this generates some interest I'll make a private community for working on this.
So, what say you?
