purging via fanfic
Sep. 7th, 2005 08:55 am
you know, i consider myself fairly 'into' fandom, in that i read a lot of fanfic and am interested in dissecting tv characters and such. i know a lot of fanfic authors purge shock and despair via writing after a major disaster - certainly after 9-11, we got a *lot* of fics dealing with the aftermath in various ways. everything from characters onsite to help rescue efforts, to characters going to afghanistan to shoot the bad guys.
NO strikes me as similar enough in scope to produce the same effect. i haven't checked the recent postings, but has anyone who has an even passing familiarity with various fandoms seen/ heard/ read about the first offerings?
it'd be interesting to see how fast that stuff gets out. after 9-11, iirc, the first fic was published w/in days. in sendom, there is a yearly mag for post 9-11 stories. i'd have to check, but i think the profits even go to 9-11 related charities.
