I've created a LJ feed for my WordPress blog. It's at khellekson_wp. That of my coeditor Kristina Busse is at kbusse_blog.

If you prefer to use a RSS reader, like Google Reader, there are RSS feeds available right from WordPress. The links above are meant to add your LJ Friends page, if you're into that kind of thing.

I've created a blog at WordPress here. I've just posted my summaries of the panels I attended at MiT5.

The fanfic bib has been updated! Go here to see the most recent version. New entries are marked with a double asterisk **.

Please feel free to e-mail me additions or corrections. Please note that we are focusing only on texts about academic studies of fanfic and the idea of community. We are deliberately excluding studies of, e.g., anime, yaoi, and sports. We will include items about celebrity studies if they are foundational and are dealt with in terms of fans.
