Challenging readers to rethink what they read and why, the author
questions the aesthetic assumptions that have led to the devaluing
of fan fiction-a genre criticized as tasteless and derivative-and
other ""guilty pleasure"" reading (and writing) including romance
and fantasy. The complicated relationship between ""fanfic"" and
intellectual property is discussed in light of the millennia-old
tradition of derivative literature, before modern copyright law
established originality as the hallmark of great fiction.
""Absorbed reading""-the practice of immersing oneself in the
narrative versus critically ""reading from a distance""-is a strong
motive for fanfiction's appropriation of canon characters and
worlds.
