NPR discovers fan fiction

[stgulik]

Did everybody see this?

Best line in the article:

"There's a lot of socializing — a very, very strong and mutually supportive community around fan fiction," he says. Fan fiction writers are united by their urge to "speak back to the screen," he says. They help each other with their stories, providing critiques and proofreading for one another. "It creates strong bonds between them."
 

Damn skippy! I'm just learning how awesome this community really is. I'm sorry I didn't know enough to jump in years ago.
