Article on Fan Fiction

[dmarley]

z_rayne posted this link to "Television's Afterlife", an article from the Toronto Star about fan fiction. I read it and thought it was well worth spreading around. Unlike many articles, this one seems fairly well-researched and is nicely un-sensationalized. A nice change of pace, that.

That is a very nice article. It's about time. Thanks for the heads up.

OMG! has Ronald D. Moore read the Sith Academy? :)

In related news, there is an interview with Anthony Stewart Head on the Buffy: Chaos Bleeds video game. The interviewer asks him about fan fiction and his reaction is very funny. Imagine this in his normal/non-Giles British accent. "Some of it is rather... saucy. They pair Giles with some of the most unlikely... people I'd never dream of. I mean, Giles and Willow? That is so wrong."

I'm thinking then he's never seen the slash.
