The WSJ on the "weird world of fan fiction." [link]
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's not so much an article as an illustrated list of terms. And kinda confusing where every term explained is in quotes for the rest of the article, as are the titles of books and shows.
However, I just gotta call out:
Young-adult fantasy author Cassandra Clare, whose books about teenage demon hunters have sold 12 million copies, wrote Harry Potter and "Lord of the Rings" fan fiction before she broke into professional publishing.
Ah, yes, that's the whole story. No background there...
I did learn, however, that OSC is apparently very pro-fic.

What is Wattpad, by the way, when it's at home? Or, I guess, more importantly--how does that rate a mention and AO3 doesn't? Which fandoms hang out there?

Because books.
I've never heard of Wattpad.
I do love how the WSJ loves to cover stories that are old as the hills, and come off pleased as punch that they've "discovered a new trend".

Did you hear? There's this fifty colours books all the women are reading?

I heard it's SEX-AY, too.

Oh, man. I just checked the fanfic link on Wattpad, and it seems to be primarily het One Direction RPF. Which? Of course it exists. I just had no idea where it lived.

Always Anti-fascist!
Even his whines are better than mine. But I did make deadline while literally peeing once.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I was wondering, is anyone here an SFWA member? I've just found out that I qualify-- apparently they added Daily Science Fiction as a qualifying market sometime since I last checked. So now I *can* join, but I'm not really clear on whether I *should*.
