Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet

Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet is a collection of acafannish essays edited by Kristina Busse and Karen Hellekson. The book, published in 2006, attempts to update earlier fan scholarship by Camille Bacon-Smith, Constance Penley and Henry Jenkins by looking at how fan culture has expanded onto the internet and by examining such relatively recent phenomena as "fan culture revolving around mailing lists and blogs", "the growing acceptability of a contentious subject position", and "the community-centered and fraught nature of the creation of fan texts."Overview on karenhellekson.com
The essays in the book are all written by fans who are also academics, and the book attempts to "use fannish practice as a model for academic practice" by seeing itself as a WIP rather than as providing definitive, permanent answers. 
In 2007, Princessofgeeks posted chapter-by-chapter summaries/reviewsposts tagged "fanfic book" at princessofgeeks Dreamwidth journal. (Accessed 3 Oct 2013) of all the essays, providing an invaluable resource and a forum for discussion.

Fan Fiction on the Line

Fan Fiction on the Line is an online article that was published in Wired Magazine in 1997.Brown, Janelle. Fan Fiction on the Line. Wired.com (original HotWired link is broken), 08 August 1997. (Accessed 05 December 2009) 
The article describes fandom as Hollywood's dream come true - consumers so devoted to the characters "that they'll consume every Star Wars-branded product, watch every Xena episode, proudly display their Star Trek pins on dirty backpacks" - and points out the conflict between the free publicity aspect of fan sites and the copyright owners having a hard time dealing with fans and their creativity:
Illustrating that legal confusion with regard to fan activity isn't new, previous intellectual-property scuffles are mentioned, "such as TSR Inc.'s 1994 effort to prevent fans from creating unauthorized Dungeons & Dragons worlds and online publications" or "Paramount's 1996 barrage of cease and desist letters, to Star Trek fan pages with unauthorized scripts, excerpts, photographs, images, sound bites, etc." The article points out that "before the Internet was a media force, studios had a long-time habit of looking the other way when it came to fan fiction" because paper fanzines didn't get much exposure, but the web has increased the visibility of fan fiction, especially slash, which might or might not change the attitude of TPTB. 
Summarizing the dispute over whether fanfic is legal or not, the article shows that the uncertainty about how copyright owners are going to deal with fanfiction in the age of the internet is enough to have chilling effects:
Incidentally, Lucasfilm, the company that owns the rights to Star Wars, is given as an example of "one particularly reasonable outfit when it comes to fan fiction. The company simply put up their own official site to counter - and overshadow - the unofficial ones. As Lucasfilm spokesperson Jeanne Cole puts it, 'What can you do? How can you control it? As we look at it, we appreciate the fans, and what would we do without them? If we anger them, what's the point?'"

Fan Fund

A fan fund is a collection of money raised by fans, an early example of fundraising by crowdsourcing. The oldest fan fund is the Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund, which dates back to the 1953 effort to bring Irish fan Walt Willis to North America for Worldcon.
One reason money is raised is to send another fan, who would otherwise not be able to afford to go, to a convention. The money is raised by direct donation or by auction. The recipient is usually nominated and voted for by fans. This sort of fan fund is sometimes sponsored by a fan club or a letterzine.
A fan fund, in the context of fans paying for something they collectively want, is also used to purchase products. One example is Truffles, "The Roddenberry Fan Fund" whose goal it was in 1986 to raise money from fans to bring the Roddenberrys to Australia for a speaking tour. A fan fund can also be a collection of money by fans who want, for example, their favorite celebrity to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
==Some Examples==
* Canadian Unity Fan Fund
* Down Under Fan Fund
* Fan Fund of Australia and New Zealand
* GUFF
* National Australian Fan Fund
* The SF/Media Fan Fund
* Trans-Atlantic Fan Fund
* Truffles, or "The Roddenberry Fan Fund"

How did you learn about fandom? 
I saw an episode of The Sentinel on Sci-Fi and was hooked. Went to the net and found fanfic.

Highlander and Star Wars in the 1990s (pre-net days). Now - The Professionals, Starsky & Hutch with a dash of I Spy and Alias Smith & Jones.
What was your first convention? 
Eclecticon - 2001.
How did you find about slash? 
It was explained to me after someone said 'have you read slash'? I said 'I don't like 'slasher movies.' I found out what it was and that was 'the end.
What has surprised you most about being a fan? 
The obsession some people have. :-)
How have your fannish interest/participations changed over time? 
I moved from lists to LJ. I still love cons and zines.
If there was one person/event you'd want fandom to remember... 
The wonderfully talented Suzan Lovett.
The most awesome thing I ever did in fandom was... 
I'm particularly pleased with my automated [fan fiction] archive, Dave and Ken's Diner, Starsky & Hutch. 
Anything else you'd like to share?

Fan History Wiki: Content generation and finding the right format

Fan History Wiki: Content generation and finding the right format is a 2008 essay by Laura Hale, owner of the now-defunct Fan History Wiki.
It was written as Hale's wiki was the subject of intense fan complaints regarding privacy, profit, intentional wank, inaccuracies, and outing, prompting Hale to issue A Statement from Fan History (2008) a few weeks earlier. 
==Some Topics Discussed==
* the sparse stubbiness of the wiki
* what is a wiki's place in documenting fan history?
* perhaps fan history should be documented in peer-reviewed journals?
* "parts of writing the history of fandom can be automated"
* the lack of participation on the wiki
* if Hale was reading fan fiction or researching specific fandom things she cared about instead of doing the hard work of running a wiki, then "the history of fandom wouldn't best be served."

Fan Magazines (essay)

Fan Magazines was a 1937 article by Duane W. Rimel on the subject of fanzines. From 1936 to 1937 there was a huge proliferation of science fiction zines that sprang up during what Jack Speer called the First Transition or First Interregnum. The prozines were in decline, leading to a shift in fan interest from pro fiction to fandom itself. (See The Greater Plan Season.)
The Fantasy Amateur Press Association, founded by Donald A. Wollheim and John B. Michel sent out its first mailing in August of 1937. According to Fancyclopedia, they were inspired by the APAs used by the Lovecraft circle, of which Rimel was a part.FAPA entry on Fancyclopedia.

Fan Mockumentary

Fan mockumentaries are narrative videos made by fans that portray fandom characters or situations as if they were real. They are usually made of found footage overdubbed by fans, but some fans shoot their own material. They can take the shape of mini-films, documentaries or other narrative-driven media forms. They are different from songvids because the audio is mostly dialogue/spoken word rather than music.

Fan Rebellion

Fan Rebellion is a 2000 post by Leah Rosenthal at alt.tv.highlander.
==Some Topics Discussed in the Post and Comments==
While the topics discussed in this post are MANY, the excerpts below focus on Stargate SG-1 and fan campaigns. 
* Stargate SG-1 and differing perceptions by fans regarding cast and other changes
* the ad in an industry publication that was paid for by fans to petition for what they wanted to see in Stargate SG-1
* comments about the effectiveness of such fan campaigns
* what is a fan?
* fans speaking for other fans
* the insular nature of fandom
* fans acting in ways that are immature and naive and how that makes them, and fandom an embarrassing thing
* being a good fan, bad fan
See the post itself for MANY comments about:
* fan demographics and marketing
* hurt/comfort genre and sexual elements
==The Original Post by Rosenthal==
==Power Dynamics and This Discussion==
The first response to the post is by a fan named Donna. It is very blunt and dismissive. 
 
Donna, was involved in Highlander and went on to a tie-in novel. She spoke with authority, and with perhaps some puffery "John: If Methos had been
HATED, nay LOATHED, as a character by the fans, would he have appeared again and again just because the writers liked him?" Donna's response: "At least twice more. The writers and producers decided they loved the character and how he turned out in the episode "Methos" six months before any "fan" saw the episode. "Finale I &II" were already filming before the fans claim *they* were responsible for bringing him back... The Fans" wanted Methos to be a cute and cuddly perenial [sic] graduate student. We didn't listen. <eg>" her involvement appears to have been as a script coordinator for two episodes.
Because Donna was a show "insider" and a PTB, the tone and content of the fan discussion is complicated in a major way. Donna's is that of "expert," and this is mirrored by some fans referring to her as a "god" A fan named John wrote that he "thinks Donna is much too interesting to be a God." Donna responded with: "Oh, I dunno... I found Quetzalcoatl quite fascinating. Although Dionysus was quite a snore <g> -- Donna (spent too much time with Gods)" and deferring to her opinions. Donna was also liberal in her dismissive comments, something Donna herself was aware of. One example of this was Donna's short response to another fan: "Totally missed the point of the as usual, didn't you? -- Donna (subtext just isn't her strong suit)" Fans appeared to allow these type of comments to go unchecked, likely unwilling to alienate the show insider in their midst. 
This deference, and the careful tip-toeing by other fans is an example of diffused boundaries and crossed alliances. For other examples of fourth wall complexities and power imbalances, see David Gerrold, John Ordover, and J. Michael Straczynski's self-insertion into fan spaces and this effect. 
Donna herself addressed this when she responded to this:

Fan Response to Game of Thrones Finale

The Game of Thrones Finale, and the final season in general, elicited a strong reaction from fans, most of it negative.
==Fan Petition==
One fan created a petition, "Remake Game of Thrones Season 8 with competent writers" which received over 1.8 million signatures. Although, whether this was a legitimate request of the studio, or just a way for fans to show their unhappiness with the final season is unclear. 
==Charity Fundraisers==
After the finale the fans at the r/freefolk subreddit set up two charity fundraisers in response to Season 8 and to thank the lead actors of the series
* (which used the tag Justice for Daenerys)
*
*
==Memes==
In response to final season and the finale a huge amount of satirical memes were created by fans, and shared on reddit, twitter and tumblr, among other places.
