OTW Fannews: Crossing Boundaries

Banner by Diane of the post title in a hazy mist


Hypable reported on how a The 100 fanfic went viral in non-fanfic communities. "It’s absolutely hilarious to see how non-fandom has responded to this fictional argument, and how people have even taken sides — but the fact that Clarke was immediately assumed to be a male does say a lot about our heteronormative society, doesn’t it?! Despite this somewhat depressing factor, The 100 fans are having a blast with this, and are fully embracing the ridiculousness of #ClarketheHusband. We’ve never been more in love with this fandom."

Fanworks are usually a source of joy but that can go sour when they’re thrust into communities they weren’t made for http://bit.ly/1Tfa4PM
