LJ Review

[alanajoli]

dmoonfire was kind enough to post his review of Into the Reach on his livejournal. He's got a good eye for some of what I was really trying to do right (yay!) and some of what didn't work so well, but I tried to improve upon in books two and three. It's potentially spoilery (vague enough that most probably won't mind), so if you haven't read Into the Reach, consider yourself warned.

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. ;)

Oh yes. i have to be absolutely rigid with myself, or my time would totally vanish. But fanfic is basically something women invented for themselves, and the way fanficers organized themselved back in the seventies, and then again when the Internet because widely available is absolutely fascinating.

and many excellent writers got their starts there.
