help a sistah out.

so I'm mostly done my paper on RPF as myth. Mostly as in, I need a fuck of a lot more research, and references up the wazoo.

But if anyone wants to read the almost totally completed first draft, you can get it either in word format or in HTML.

and if you do read it, I'd love comments and/or concerns. I mean, I'm still working on this. and it's due Wednesday. so I'd really like comments. :)

Still reading, 'cause you made with the words and stuff, and I'm not smrt like that, but I can tell you that you may get thwapped (as I did, in public, loudly, at a panel this one time...) for "Zine culture has all but died out because of online resources." I think it's fair to say that zines are far less central/irrelevant to the newer-arising fandoms, but I'm not sure that I'd say that zines or zine culture have all but died out. Mostly I'm not sure I'd say it because I don't want to get thwapped again, but the zine folks may have a point.

thanks :)

I'll probably take that part out; it's not central to the argument and so I don't really really need it. and if it's not an accurate generalization (I'm the first to admit that I don't know nearly enough about the offline community to talk about them) then it's easiest to just take it out rather than change it/back it up.

yes. uh. thank you.
