Writing Academically about Manga and Fanfiction

10/30/2017

Fanfiction is new to me.  I didn't read any until I was an adult who already had a PhD, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of writing and the atmosphere communal support I saw there.  People who write fanfiction have no fear, and so underneath all the fluff I found a culture of experimentation I haven't seen in traditionally published fiction.  I was inspired, and I felt like some trends in fanfiction were not being addressed by academic writing.  There was little about really dark fanfiction and even less about manga fics.

So I wrote an article.  And it got published.  You can read my article about Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction published by Transformative Works and Cultures here.

Be warned, I'm talking about torture in manga and fanfiction, so it's pretty violent.
