X FILES FANFIC AUTHORS WHO WROTE UNDER PSEUDONYMS SERIES
If you know me, you probably know me from Harry Potter fandom, where I helped run a series of conventions and an archive.
Flourish, do you want to go first?įK: Yeah, totally. And since it’s our first episode, I think we should probably start with introductions. You are listening to the first episode of Fansplaining, the podcast by, for, and about fandom. The TED Talk Elizabeth is talking about is “How reliable is your memory?” by Elizabeth Loftus.įK: This is our first-ever podcast, and we’re already cracking ourselves up.ĮLM: Yeah, we’re pretty funny to only ourselves…but that’s fine.ĮLM: All right. The X-Files was just the most recent link in the fanlore chain. Obviously K/S (Kirk/Spock) long predates this. The relevant article by Paul Ford: “ The Web is a Customer Service Medium.” While you’re reading what she has to say, also check out her article about Comic-Con in The Guardian! Elizabeth’s first column for the New Statesman. If anybody has a link to it, could you drop it in the ask box so these notes can be complete? Please-and-thank-you! We couldn’t track down the post Flourish is referring to here. The word we’re looking for is “doublethink,” and it’s in George Orwell’s 1984. If you haven’t read Roland Barthes’ essay “The Death of the Author,” and for some reason you have a burning desire to do so, it’s available online! If you want to read about that “we’re all children” thing Elizabeth mentioned, the relevant article is here. Scott’s article about San Diego Comic-Con can be read online (if you’re willing to deal with the Times paywall). You found the tumblr! Here’s the ask box. If you haven’t read Finnegans Wake and want to know what a “thunderword” sounds like, wonder no more. If you were at the panel and noticed that something’s off, don’t be confused: we cut inside this clip for length. In addition to providing the audio for our podcast, the Geekiary did a great writeup of it.
