My sophomore year of college I wrote a 30-page research paper on the "cultural phenomenon" of Fanfic. It was mostly about grassroots publishing on the web and its ties to popular story's more interactive roots of oral poetry. And yes, I did include an analysis of the cultural implications of smutty fanfic. ;-)
Crazy! So maybe it's not a Bad Sign. Maybe it's a Good Sign. Academia supports our bad habits as "cultural phenomena." YES! Now, instead of researching, I shall read more fic....
