We all talked about how awesome Buffy is and why and it spoke to the whole lack of respect for SF thing. Battlestar Galactica and Buffy and others of their ilk are among the best things EVAH on TV, yet they don't get recognized or treated with respect outside of the field of "popular culture" (or LJ) and they should.
A colleague with a doctorate is always politely incredulous that I should like "such stuff", since I clearly have the intellect to do "serious literature" too. Gah.
we're all thinking about writing about how fan fiction needs to be addressed from a feminist point of view as well as the intertextual stuff.
Not just the actual fanfic, but the world of fanfic writers - I know a tiny handful of men who write within my own fandom, and a very large number of women. In several cases these people could easily be published if they wrote original fiction, and are actually much better than some of the writers of tie-in books. Which raises all sorts of interesting questions about the female role and identity I think.
