An interesting essay re: fanfiction

[pegkerr]

cupidsbow has a fascinating essay here, regarding women, poverty and fanfiction, considered in light of Joanna Russ' classic How to Suppress Women's Writing. Highly recommended to all my readers who read and/or write fanfiction. Thanks to matociquala for the link.

I need to re-read the Russ. It's been a number of years. Perhaps I need to re-examine my writers block in light of some of the stuff she talks about.

Thank you for pointing me to this, and the Russ. I read Herland many years abo, but now I think it might be worth suggesting to my book group.

Thank you again!
