Have you listened to it? Curious as to your thoughts. What struck you as odd, weird, or interesting...etc.

Hello!
I thought the programme was interesting and I would like to follow up on some of the work done by those claiming to be doing research into fanfiction culture. Also of note was the comparision with early storytelling, before copyright was invented. (ie fanfiction more fluid, organic, and community-based than conventional published works.)

Have finished listening, and I agree with debriswoman and capt_facepalm. they didn't actually say all that much that was new, although their literary analysis of "fanfic lit" and Mary Sues was interesting, starting with Dante

Shall have to listen to it. Still waiting to find the time. Appreciate the thoughts.

It is my pleasure and it's not terribly long, 29 minutes and the kind of recording one can listen to while checking email or LJ :)
