Media references to fanfic, the week ending 11/516
Washington Post theater critic Peter Marks wrote Costume meetups like Comic-Con are, in a fundamental sense, efforts to satisfy the modern craving for endless juvenile escape, a Perpetual Halloween, and the online explosion of another enthusiast’s delight — fan fiction — signals an urge to coexist nostalgically in the same space forever with the fictional object of one’s affections.
In 'Prince Harry, Meghan Markle spotted together at Toronto Halloween party, spies say' for The Hamilton Spectator, Shinan Govani wrote In terms of fan fiction, there was more than enough: World's Most Eligible Bachelor meets slightly older, biracial, Pippa-lookalike divorcee who can make a mean Ina Garten chicken (it's true!), has done humanitarian work in Africa (just like Harry!), began her career as a briefcase model (Deal or No Deal!) and once toiled as a professional calligrapher (what's not to like about a gal with Grade-A cursive skills?).
In 'How Harry Potter Fans See the Presidential Election' for TIME, Ashley Ross wrote that [activist Paul] DeGeorge recruited various experts in the fandom field to try to retell Hillary’s story through posts on Tumblr, fan fiction and the merchandise on his site, which ties Star Wars, Captain America, Hamilton, Doctor Who and other fandoms to Clinton.
For Duluth News Tribune, Christa Lawler wrote "Black Mirror" is sci-fi-fan-fiction and grim, standalone stories about a modern, tech-hyper society just a bit off-kilter.
In a review for The Emory Wheel, Vikrant Nallaparaju wrote Despite sounding like a 15-year-old’s bad National Treasure fan fiction written after a double feature of Batman Begins and Quarantine 2: Terminal, Inferno is anything but exciting.
In a piece about NaNoWriMo for Daily Mississippian, Kiara Manning wrote In the past, the program only allowed novels to be written; however, now individuals are able to write scripts, poetry and even fan-fiction.
From a piece on Anna Kendrick by Katie O’Malley for Elle UK: The actress – who was praised for her on-screen chemistry with Chloe (Brittany Snow) in Pitch Perfect 2, earning the two a Teen Choice Award (and several hilarious fan fiction websites) - also notes that Thanksgiving isn't a holiday without lesbians, following her Instagram post last year that saw fans asking her if the women in the photo were gay.
In 'Here's a Subway-Style Map of Southeast Asia' for CityLab (Atlantic Monthly), Tanvi Misra wrote That's kind of the spirit of this enterprise—a mix of practical travel info and imaginative transit fan-fiction.
In a profile of Sarah J Maas for Irish Times, Sara Keating wrote She was a founding member of the Lord of the Rings society at school and wrote Harry Potter fan fiction, posting her stories on the online forum at FictionPress.com.
North by Northwestern’s Libby Berry wrote about a campus visit by Scandal’s Joshua Malina: [Interviewer Harry] Wood had a joke of his own for the star. Taking out his phone, the Communication senior pulled up Scandal fan fiction and traded lines back and forth with Malina, Wood reading for protagonist Olivia Pope and Malina playing his own character, David Rosen.
In a Vulture review of Doctor Strange (or, more accurately, the dude’s cloak), Kyle Buchanan noted that This coat wants to get on Benedict Cumberbatch even more desperately than a Sherlock slash-fic author, and it won't take "No" or "You're an article of clothing, I can't technically have sex with you" for an answer.
From The Week: On Monday's Daily Show, Trevor Noah ran with that and created post-apocalyptic fan-fiction about the end of President Trump's first term.
In 'New York Comedy Troupe 'Blogologues' Perform #NastyWoman And #TrumpBookReport Tweets Tonight' for Forbes, Dana Feldman wrote Bits plucked from the internet and brought to life in the show include Craigslist Missed Connections, Yelp reviews, Tinder, OK Cupid profiles, fan fiction, Twitter, Tumblr and of course, Trump vs. Clinton.
The Simmons Voice’s Kaydee Donohoo wrote Don’t believe me that the semester is even worse than I’m imagining? Yes, you can point to the stressful things that you’ve been doing. What about the fun things that you’ve stopped doing? Realize how your lack of free time has taken some of the color out of your schedule. Used to write fan fiction? When was the last time you opened up a word doc for fun? When was the last time you watched something without feeling so guilty you didn’t even enjoy it?
Finally, in 'Strange origins of Frankenstein the creature and the book about him' for The Australian Financial Review, Frances Wilson wrote The similarities between Rowling and Shelley extend no further than the backstory. Despite the wilderness that is Harry Potter fan fiction, Rowling has held fast to her authorial control and kept her many-headed Cerberus on a leash. Unprotected by copyright, Shelley saw none of the profits when, five years after her book was published, a dramatisation by Richard Brinsley Peake called Presumption: or, The Fate of Frankenstein, kick-started the Frankenstein industry.
