. Is art about making up new things or about transforming the raw material that's out there? Cutting, pasting, sampling, remixing and mashing up have become mainstream modes of cultural expression, and fan fiction is part of that. It challenges just about everything we thought we knew about art and creativity.
Not really. Art has always been about reacting (in some part) to the works that have come before it.

This is an ebook on a collection of popular culture journals online in book form with literal page flipping and no option to highlight the text. Why.

Well, the obvious topic is "fan fiction," but as you can tell just from scanning the subject index, we've branched out a bit - columns on fannish politics, columns that focus more on the show itself, columns on writing, etc. Bottom line: is it going to be of interest to fanfic writers and readers?
This is bad ass.

Fan fiction alludes to universes which resemble those of the source text but which are also transformed in accordance with the writer's creative impulses and with reference to generic conventions and interpretive conventions of the fan community.
** Best description.

This transportation may be so complete that they respond emotionally to the events portrayed as if they were situations involving real-life people rather than characters--that they become, in other words, emotionally immersed
Couldn't this be said about anything and anyone?
-
Fans approach fan fiction with highly detailed schemata in mind: of the characters, for example. If writers of fan fiction simply described the primary text, readers would no longer have the challenge of imagining something new and such texts would be too boring to be immersive. In effect, fans tend to value fics the most when they both adhere to canon and diverge from it
* Important.

Abigail Derecho argues that fan writers add artifacts to an archive surrounding the source text and "all texts related to it" (63-65) and Juli J. Parrish insists that fan writers "reimagine the preserve itself" (67-68).
"Hypotext" and "hypertext"
-
Several scholars have emphasized that fan writers are no slaves to their source text.
Great sentence.

Fan fiction studies have typically respected this framework by either taking an ethnographic approach to the subject or considering the motivations, interpretations, and metatexts of fans (Busse and Hellekson 17-24).
So fascinating how "metatexts" themselves are considered fanwork. Reminiscent of the Symposium, a collection of essays about fandom by its members that ran from 1999-2006. http://www.trickster.org/symposium/colyear.html#1999

It's winter time and that means it's cold out there, like Hajnalka notes. Shivering little bodies shuffling from class to class. Seeing as vcu is a school where classes are scattered all over it just seems like a “double whammy” to study for hours and hours, and days and days, then have to sniffle your way to a classroom where you'll be stuck up against all those other students for just a few hours. Also, like the brilliant Hajnalka noted, traveling is a bummer for many students as well, so to have to travel for a mere two hour long test when it could be done at their house seems like an even more bummer. Even you, professor, allowed a student of yours in our theory class go home because you thought her well-being surpassed being in a physical classroom (sorry to hit you with that example, but it's all I got!). I know we are so privileged to be in a safe and community focused school, where we are tremendously lucky to have access to teachers and college in general, and I just know that we're beyond appreciative and grateful for all those things … but we've had all of our other exams (quizzes) online already, I think we've become used to it. I'd totally understand coming to class for an exam if that's how it was done the whole semester, but seeing as it wasn't we're addicted to the home exams...no worries though, it's not a serious addiction! ...(thank you thank you thank you Hajnalka for taking the time to create the argument we all agree with! ) (p.s. Sorry to debate you professor! It's all in good fun....but we're serious too!) -bria g-g

In the final analysis, intellectual property shares much of the origins and orientation of all forms of property. At the same time, however, it is a more neutral institution than other forms of property: its limited scope and duration tend to prevent the very accumulation of wealth that Burke championed.
