<div><font face="Courier" color="#000000">EDITED VOLUME: HARRY POTTER
FAN FICTION<br>
<br>
Contributions are sought for a proposed collection of essays about
Harry Potter fan fiction. <br>
<br>
Scholars from all disciplines are invited to submit abstracts or
completed essays. Essays on young writers, transnational fandom,
and fan works from outside the English-speaking world are especially
needed, but all submissions are very welcome.<br>
<br>
Paper topics might include, but are by no means limited to:<br>
<br>
* Issues related to the source material<br>
* Studies focused on writing by young people<br>
* Studies of particular subgenres and their traditions, such as fan
fiction about particular characters or relationships, or around
generic constraints such as challenges, "filks" (song
parodies) or "drabbles" (100 word fics)<br>
* Studies of the various communities (mostly on-line) in which
participants exchange works and ideas, and of specific issues within
those communities, such as status, collaboration, or conflict<br>
* Quantitative and demographic studies<br>
* Critical practices and concepts particular to fandom, such as
beta-reading and the issues of "canon" and
"fanon"<br>
* Fan art in visual media (for instance comics, illustrations, or
doujinshi)<br>
* Intellectual property and/in the Harry Potter fan fiction
community<br>
* Studies of fan productions from outside the English-speaking
world<br>
<br>
Because the audience for this book will come from many backgrounds
(both academic and otherwise), and because it will be introducing
readers to an extensive lexicon of fandom terminology, it is
imperative that all essays be as free as possible of academic
jargon.<br>
<br>
Please send abstracts of no less than 300 words, or completed essays,
to glaubman@earthlink.net. I would also appreciate a brief note
about your background and interest in the topic. Inquiries
welcome at any time.<br>
