Honestly the fanfic community fascinates me--and your discussion of the gate-keeping interests me even moreso. The issues of copyright involved are positively intriguing, and I'd love to learn more... unfortunately, that would mean I'd start getting involved in the fanfic community, which would mean watching what free time I have remaining vanish down a spiral vacuum.

But I'd love to read more articles/blog entries about the whole fanfic-o-sphere. ;)
