I have a video clip of Michael Shanks and Chris Judge at some convention where a German fan asked about the slash thing. Shanks explained what she was asking in case anyone didn't know and then did answer. I can't remember what he said, I just know he started to laugh and the camera panned over to Judge making obscene gestures.
Mal: Take your people and go. Captain: You would have done the same. Mal: We can already see I haven't.

I thought it was fun that he wanted to go give the video store people a story to tell by purchasing his own DVDs.
Ideally, yeah, although "what do you think of this crazy slash thing?" seems to have become a pretty standard interview question, and both fans and talent usually seem to handle it okay long as it's left in very abstract terms.
Thankfully we have Browder as one of us, what with the gleefully slashing himself with other actors in interviews without being asked about it.

I have decided to write my term paper for my Law & Society class on fan fiction. I am still a little unfocused on what I am going to focus on, but something to do with copyright laws and how blogs add an extra coplication. It has to be a pro and con paper. If anyone has any articles on the subject they could point me toward, I would be ever so grateful. My profile address is good.

I know there's a law-specific fandom livejournal community, if that would help... ah! [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
sj, Rebecca Tushnet's "Legal Fictions" is the paper on the subject. You can find it here: [link] along with her other writing on the subject. It's pre-blogging, but very worth a read.

Also, EFF has a lot of good blogging info -- I don't think they address fanfiction, but they're a great resource for online speech issues in general. [link]

Thanks for the links. I love the buffistas. You guys rock.
ETA: If anyone knows of any meatspace articles on the subject, I need to have at least a couple of those.
