Very interesting essay. I have read some of your poular culture texts you have quoted too, and I enjoyed readsing your interpretations. I have ben looking around for more up to date studies of fandom and slash. I have a feeing that the market will sor of explode in a few years, when all the current students have graduated and became professors and researchers and written big tomes on the subject. (Let us at least dream about it =) I have taken a short course in feminist SF here in Sweden this ter and we read the book NASA/TREK which did kind of mention the fandom and slash etc. But I think gender studies here, and cultural studies too, need to look more at what happens on the net. Or at least, I guess, we need to come out from the web and show ourelves in academeia too.
Anyway, good work! Feel insired since I have to fish my own term paper this week. Not at all conneted to this subject, or perhaps just a lttle bit in a very farfetched way. I'm writing about the popular middlebrow fiction of the 1930s and how sisters seems to be a common theme in these novels. Now, how could I slash that? =)
