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

5.0

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.
