Review of Hellekson & Busse, Fan Fiction…

The SFRA Review, a publication geared to academics in the field of SF, has published in #279, Jan–Mar 2007, a review of the book I coedited with Kristina Busse, Fan Fiction And Fan Communities In The Age Of The Internet. The review, by Christine Mains, does a good job of describing the contents of the book and contextualizing the discussions.

Mains concludes, “[T]his anthology is a useful and thought-provoking addition to the library of any scholar interested not only in media studies or fandom studies, but also in the practice of storytelling as it is shaped by the episodic nature of sequels and television series, by the world-building concerns of science fiction, by ever-changing technological capabilities” (12).
