OTW Fannews: Fandom Awakens & Stretches
Upvoted discussed the continuity of fandom across generations. "An immigrant from Vietnam, Greenleaf’s electrician dad developed a love for science-fiction in America watching TV shows like Star Trek and Johnny Quest. Then he saw Star Wars in the theaters when it came out in 1977.
'Definitely seeing Star Wars was a big thing for him, but I think he kept it to himself'" Now, however, it's all in the open. "'Once he saw me bringing a lot of costumes home and making them, he got interested...He’d ask me, ‘Can I try it on? Can I wear it?’ I’ve taken him to a lot of character events and introduced him to a lot of people, and he’s really gotten into it.'”
Star Wars fandom has been all over the media & these days the discussions are getting more thoughtful http://bit.ly/1ZQks2n

OTW Fannews: Everybody Wants You
Blogger Natalie Luhrs wrote about what makes something fanfic-y. "It is the idea that there is a locus of shame in pro fic that I find so intriguing and why I have different reasons for reading fan fic versus pro fic (I like both!). But every so often, there’s a piece of pro fic that has qualities that strike me as particularly fannish--they’re usually the books where, as I’m reading them, I’m thinking to myself, 'This is a terrible premise for a book and I can’t stop reading it because I am completely sucked into it.'"
Fanworks are becoming something that everyone wants — and why not? It’s always fun to spread the joy http://bit.ly/1OulWfs
