Well, I did, and I decided to do something about it. I'm a lecturer in writing, also a professional writer (poems and novels). I'm also into fan culture, and I could see that the fan fiction I was reading was a genre in its own right, like those I practised and taught, and I felt someone should take it seriously.
So I wrote this book, to show how fan fiction fitted into a long tradition of canon writing and how it had evolved today. Friends within the community, and many writers I didn't know, gave me their co-operation, which is why I've been able to quote so much, not only fiction but writers' observations on how they work.
I've discussed all manner of fandoms, including Austen, Hornblower, Blakes 7, Discworld, The Bill, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes and others too numerous to mention. Gen, het, slash, metafic, fan poetry, serial stories, drabbles. If you want to read about the workings of the Live Kennedy Universe, J K Rowling's attitude to fan fiction or the effect of the Trousers of Time on character death in Discworld fic, it's here. As are parallels between the way profic and fanfic writers use drabbles, play intertextual games and discuss male vulnerability.
The first chapter, "Puppeteers", has been published in vol 5 of the University of Melbourne's online journal of media culture, Refractory.
I think this is new and needed and I hope you will too.
