Fanfiction from Sherlock Holmes to Fifty Shades of Grey and Beyond . . . What is fanfiction, and what is it not? Why does fanfiction matter? And what makes it so important to the future of literature? Fic is a groundbreaking exploration of the history and culture of fan writing and what it means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It's a story about literature, community, and technology-about what stories are being told, who's telling them, how, and why. With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from Star Trek to The X-Files and Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Harry Potter, Twilight, and beyond, Fic sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction-not only how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has.

If you're planning on writing a fanfic/story with a trans character, you should probably read this. If you're cis and you're planning on writing a fanfic/story with a trans character, you should definitely read this. Even if you're not planning on writing a trans character anytime soon, you might want to read this. These are some things about trans people to keep in mind when you're writing, brought to you by your local nonbinary emo who is very angry and very desperate for respectful trans representation. (Okay, seriously, I really would appreciate it if you'd read this because I think it could be very helpful.)
