wnelehSpencer Kornhaber explored Kylo Ren/Rey fanfic in 50 Shades of Rey for The Atlantic. And, in 'John Boyega loves the whole Finn/Poe bromance as much as you do' for USA Today, Brian Truitt wrote Folks have written fan fiction and done all sorts of artwork with these two space pals, sharing them online and on social media.
In a Buffalo News review of a festival of one-act plays, Ben Siegel wrote In “Shoot the Weatherman,” a two-hander by actor Mike Randall, a disgruntled lawyer (Mike Starzynski) takes an unimpressed weatherman (Timothy Patrick Finnegan) for hostage. It would seem Randall, noted Channel 7 meteorologist by day, had fun writing this subversive fan fiction.
Regarding tumblr for The Daily Trojan (USC), Erika Lee wrote Whether it’s a community for those who identify as LGBTQ to discuss their shared experience, fandoms of One Direction to make gifs or memes about the latest music video, an audience for anime fan-fiction writers, poets or a forum for those recovering from mental illness or addiction, there’s something for everybody. Or, as Marie Boran wrote in Irish Times, It’s the birthplace of most memes, eye-wateringly bad fan-fic, endless Friends GIFs and teenaged snark.

In an Irish Times piece on ‘Astonishing Sod [James Thomas]: the king of Twitter comedy’, Una Mullally wrote Why the Long Joke? tumbles into life with discarded Star Wars fan-fiction ideas, warped and fragmented short stories such as Edgar Allan Poe at a music festival, hypothetical one-liners (“Surely the Big Smoke started in the sticks?”), woozy off-kilter haikus, discordant horoscopes, a cautionary tale about cocaine, an almost nonsensical list of romantic gestures, facts about space, classified listings of Atari video games for sale – “Thom Yorke Winter Olympics (1993)” – and tweet-sized interventions: “‘This reminds me . . . Nope. I got nothing.’ – newborn baby.”
In 'Britney Spears’s Leonardo DiCaprio #tbt Brings the 90s Roaring Back to Life' for Vanity Fair, Katey Rich wrote Before you go revise your Britney-Leo fan fiction from the last millennium, it’s worth noting that this photo is probably not from their respective heights of 1999—both look a bit older, for one thing, and Leo’s Red Sox cap suggests this could be from around 2005-2006, during the filming and release of The Departed.
Finally, regarding the usefulness of a college degree in information and media studies, Erik Dohnberg told Canadian Free Press’s Linda Nguyen "I can write a hell of an essay on Star Trek and Star Wars fan fiction but really, that's irrelevant to practical skills. I'm a good writer but that's about it."
