30 Day HP Meme, Day 9

featherxquillHappy Birthday, Helen Mirren!
Also, ABC Political Reporter Annabel Crabb writes an opinion piece that I kind of want to marry.
And now, for today's meme question:
09. Fanfiction: discuss
Fanfiction is glorious. It's fun, it's transformative. It allows people to take these characters and worlds that go on living in their heads long after they close the book and talk about them in a narrative way. Fanfiction stories speak to each other, build on each other. They enrich the experience of a fictional universe, and while that is more than enough to justify their existence, they often do more than that, too. They provide a space for the exploration of sexuality from a predominately female perspective; for discussion of issues not thoroughly (or at all) explored in the canon text. They go places a canon story cannot, for reasons of genre or rating, time or other constraints. The shared love of characters or genres or pairings brings people together, and just... yes. Fandom without fanfiction is like cake without icing. Or something. I cannot even begin to calculate how much joy fanfic has given me since I started reading and writing it.

Date: 2010-07-27 11:55 am (UTC)I know: I gave up politics the moment I had decided to go the marriage/family-track after all, because both seemed utmost impossible to me; before, I had dreamed of being a cabinet member one day (science, ecology or something like that).....;
but at least we do have a female Premier who is just a few years older than me; I never heard anybody throw the fact that she has no children at her....having been a scientist before, she obviously never felt like it even in pre-politic-times...;
