Just a quick question to see what everyone thinks about this. Would anyone be interested in being interviewed/adding some commentary about fanfiction? It can be about anything you want really, or whatever ideas you have. I'm writing a blog for my class based on fanfiction- and I won't post a link yet because I'm fabulously behind in it.  Anyway, if anyone is interested in providing any extra information on the topic, please respond here. Any help would be fantastic! Thanks!

I have a feeling that you might just save my life on this one! Oooh... I get to play Superman? Cool! (Of course, it would be even more cool if I got to play *with* Superman...  ) Joy, Lynn

I'd like to help you if you're interested! In fact, I've been interviewed about fanfiction in the past for a Greek magazine as well... 
What we've got here is failure to communicate...

I don't know if this will help, but interviews were done of both readers and writers of Lois and Clark fanfiction a number of years ago. If you want to see these interviews, they are posted at Annesplace at http://www.nfanfic.net under 'Writer's Showcase' and 'Reader's Showcase'. Depending on what exactly you're looking for, these might be helpful. ML

ML Thanks, ML. It's not quite what I'm looking for, because my instructor's looking for some very specific things, but it's a good resource.

Thanks, all! Check your pm box for the questions. WHOOPS!!!
*ALSO*: Extremely important final question that I forgot to mention on the list!!! 21. What is your opinion on the SOPA/PIPA Acts and how it will affect the fanfiction community? A couple of sites to hit up about this topic, in case you're out of the loop: SOPA and PIPA SOPA and PIPA affects Blackout Aftermath Edit: In case you're wondering, the first question is optional, but since I am trying to pull statistics out of it, I'd appreciate as much information as you could provide. If you do not want this information to displayed through the interviews, but are okay with sharing, I will cooperate with that. That goes for anything you answer- your secrets are safe with me. Thanks again!!!
