x_losSo for this paper I'm dealing with semi-pro fic like tie in novels, of which I have an example, professional fic-esque writing (like Wide Sargasso Sea or Foe or the Hours), and An Actual Fic to talk about the way their legitimacy is constructed and the way they use a fanfictional mode/strategies to do things they otherwise would be unable to (easily) do. And I can't think of a good fic for this that isn't like... in our fandom, which I do not want to go ANYWHERE near.
Does anything leap out at you? B/c if not I think I'm going to talk about 'legitimacy' in the Cassandra Claire debacle, but I think that brings up too much content I haven't time to go into, about the gift economy/recognition!validation, etc., and complicates what must remain a very direct discussion about legitimacy in a different, more exclusively 'as artistic production' sense.
Idk, maybe that Shoebox Project thingy... or this Atlantis fic Nadja rec'd (http://synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/59305.html). I might go with the KL Morgan thing, but it's /weird/ now that I've met her. I'd take anything? Improvements over canon a bonus, in writing style or dealing with issues the original didn't or handled poorly. Also a bonus: fic about females, by females, or fic which, in its sensibility, presents a feminine perspective/aesthetic.
