Fan Fiction Research and Survey

interludepress:

Students at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras (UPRRP) are currently conducting a research project called “Narratives of Participatory Culture: Reading fan written fiction as Literature”. 

The goal is to write a research paper to evaluate whether or not fanfiction can be studied as literature and if so, how. 

They also asked if we wouldn’t mind posting a link to their tumblr as well as to the survey.  More than happy to help out, University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedres!

If you’re age 13+, you can lend them a hand with their research by following the links and completing the survey.

Go forth and spruik my stuff inform the nice people.

Have at me… but gently. Tell
