Writers in the Secret Garden: Fanfiction, Youth, and New Forms of Mentoring by Cecilia Aragon, Katie Davis

4.0

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.
