Three weeks ago the conference <a href="http://www.mos.umu.se/forskning/cyberekon/program.htm">Textual Echoes: Fan Fiction and Sexualities</a> was held at Umea University, Sweden, in the <a href="http://www.humlab.umu.se/english/about/">gorgeous HUMlab space</a>. It was a very inspiring experience, and I've been trying to string together a million separate thoughts about it without becoming totally incoherent. This resulted in a mile-long text chock full of links that no sane person would ever wade through, so I'll be splitting it up and publishing it in installments. (Also because if I delay posting until the text is entirely finished, I won't be posting for another week at least, which would be a tad pathetic.) So, first things first -the conference in general and my reason for being there.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">( </b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://unjapanologist.dreamwidth.org/16176.html#cutid1">Read more...</a></b><b class="cut-close"> )</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=unjapanologist&ditemid=16176" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
