- nemesis_cry: Self-publishing fanfic: why not do it - I'm talking about those authors who self-publish fic about Real People and then sell it.[...]In other words, I'm talking about going to Lulu.com and making our fics available for purchase as neatly bound books, for a price. -
- partly_bouncy: [in fanthropology] History of BandFic, an overview - This represents probably two years of research and three months of trying to write it. The article addresses BandFic as a cultural movement, as fans interacting with fans. -
- psycholibrarian: Meta: Fandom - Slash - Incest - Wincest... - Fiction about this has certainly existed for a long time, but it's become more and more ubiquitous with the growth of fandom and slash. In some circles, it's even become a given, with no explanation necessary. -
