So rad to see the stats on reader feedback. 30% "positive reflection on specific aspects of the text", 22% corrective/constructive feedback, 27.6% "update encouragement"!!!! Readers providing eager peer review, and writers receiving encouragement to continue writing and improving...? That's so cool?
Awesome academic study. Would love to find more like it.

Engaging and impeccably researched, Aragon and Davis have explored online mentorship through the lens of fanfiction communities. The internet is a tool, and they argue that fandom has used it for good in many cases. Fanfiction writers, especially, have created a model of digital and distributed mentorship. Whether or not this is scale-able remains to be seen, but this kind of organic collaboration is enviable.
Really well done. Tagging this as Library Science too, because of the UX component. Libraries wish they could cultivate this. Or at least, this librarian does.

Boring. Not what I expected or hoped. It was probably a paper prepared for school credit. Filled with charts and graphs and numbers and footnotes and references and numbers and repetition, repetition, repetition...filler, filler, filler. A waste of money and as a fan fiction aficionado I was majorly disappointed in the choice of fandoms, the choice of archive, the information as and how presented and all the missed opportunities. Majorly boring presentation with bafflegab language as if the writer is being paid by the word and word length.

I did the sort of skim reading you do when you're working on a research paper, but this book deserves me to check it out again so I can give it my full attention.

So rad to see the focus-group stats on fanfic reader feedback, alone; 30% of reader feedback being "positive reflection on specific aspects of the text"?! 22% corrective/constructive feedback?! 27.6% "update encouragement"?! Readers providing eager and engaging peer review! Writers receiving steady encouragement to continue writing and improving! HOW FUCKIN' SICK IS THAT?!
Fanfiction is such a fun, inclusive, compelling form of composition, and worth exploring in a pedagogical environment. Awesome academic study.
