Episode 4: Archiving Fic and Fanishness
earis, Lukoni, Measured_Words, Nary
Summary:
Many apologies for the long break! Technical difficulties led to a rather lengthy editing ordeal. But here we are back again, ready to delve into the wonderful world of fanfic with EPISODE 4. (*muppet arm flail*) This episode we tackle "Silence in the Library: Archives and the Preservation of Fannish History" by Versaphile and "An Archive of One's Own: Subcultural Creativity and the Politics of Conservation" by Alexis Lothian, both from the online journal Transformative Works and Cultures.

Notes:
The podcast Ficthropology is designed as a discussion of the wonderful world of fan fiction from a critical standpoint. Modeled after an informal academic discussion group, we generally tackle one article, book, or theme per episode, from any field from anthropology, media studies, communications, women's studies - whoever has an interesting take of fanfic, its writers, readers, community, genres, themes, trends, or tropes. Anything is fair game! It is not fandom specific, and we tend to pull examples from any fandom we've come across in our travels.
(See the end of the work for more notes.)
Notes:
This week's awesome Yuletide recs can be found as follows:
* Elanya: The Butterfly Also Casts a Shadow by Mercurie (The Shadow)
* Earis: Mutating the Labyrinth by Cinaed (Greek and Roman Mythology)
* Nary: Strange Geometry by ancarett (Holmes on Homes/Lovecraft) - this fic kicks serious a$$ and was seconded by both Elanya and Lukoni as a must read!
* Lukoni: The Not Remotely Secret Memoirs of Alexander the Great, Aged 13¾ by arysteia (Classical Greece and Rome History & Literature RPF)
