2022 - Fanfiction: A Labor of Love - Oral Presentation
Description
Fanfiction, although it may seem like a contemporary phenomenon, has existed throughout human history. So, what is the distinction between a fan’s work and the source material? How are they differently respected, and why do people choose to write in the world of modern fanfiction? The impact of fanfiction in modern media is not small and represents the ever-present issues of representation and censorship of marginalized communities. In this presentation, I will explore the intention and quality of fanfiction, and its distortion in the eyes of the public. This is a video of the presentation, "Fanfiction: A Labor of Love" given at the 2022 Undergraduate Projects & Research Conference at Salt Lake Community College. The presenter: Sophia Dodge.
