asimplechord1. Henry Jenkins is awesome. I want to have his job when I grow up. And he's gonna have a new and interesting dialogue about and between fanboys and fangirls on his blog this summer. *bookmarks* I have a huge list of new fandom/fanthropology books and articles to read now.
2. Just a thought that kept recurring during the Shipping the Velvet slash panel. Why must slashers' ideas of fanfiction follow the traditional romance novel pattern: fall in love/lust, get married, have babies? (And while we're talking about babies, one of the panelists mentioned some SPN mpreg, in which Dean was the "mother". WTF? *bleaches eyeballs*)
3. The presentation on Mary Sues and slash and gender envy? Had to leave before I threw something at the lecturer.
4. The Drunk Eaters? Scary. Especially Bellatrix.

Re: Weasleys
Date: 2007-05-21 05:52 pm (UTC)What exactly does that mean? I know you aren't clear on it either, I guess I'll have to research the word a bit.
"And that most people think their role in the next book will be as a clearinghouse or supplier, the equivalent of Bond's "M", rather than as direct combatants."
I wonder why most people are drawing that conclusion? Maybe due to their less than pronounced role in book six. I certainly didn't go there after that, if anything, the presence of the twins at the train seeing Harry off in the end of HBP promised a definite combative role, or protective to say the least.
I love the idea of combative protective twins! As long as they survive. And I think they will.
Thanks for sharing all this!
