Slash Palace

Hi!

With this message, I would like to thank all of you who answered my questionnaire at http://fanfiction.frontexperts.com (see the original message below) and have given me helpful feedback. Many of you who sent me emails with comments let me know that my questionnaire did not fully embrace your experience with fan fiction. Because a survey is a highly standardized research instrument, there was no way of avoiding this problem but I decided to broaden my research design according to the concerns conveyed to me. Thus, I would like to conduct a group discussion with fan fiction authors where they will have the opportunity to freely talk about their experience without being bound by narrow questions like in the survey.

Therefore, I am looking for Harry Potter fan fiction authors who will attend the LeakyCon 2009 from May 21st-24th in Boston and who would be willing to get together for an hour or two as a group to discuss their experience with me and the other fan fiction authors. As far as I can tell from the LeakyCon schedule, Saturday morning would probably work best to meet for the discussion. Also, it would give us a chance to get to know each other on Thursday or Friday. I will provide a space at the hotel where we will be undisturbed and make sure we have drinks and snacks. A group of 8-12 people would work best but if there are too few people for a group discussion, I would be happy to meet with any of you informally at LeakyCon to talk about your experience as a fan fiction author.

By participating in a group discussion, you would make an immense contribution to the quality and accuracy of my research. I am looking forward to meeting you in person and hearing about your life in Harry Potter fan fiction. If you want to participate please let me know until May 19th by replying to this message or at fanfictions@ gmx.net or petra.baumann@edu.uni-graz.at.

Thank you so much for your repeated help!
Best,
Petra

Hello!
I hope it's OK that I'm posting this message here. I do not have any financial interest whatsoever, this message regards academic research only!

My name is Petra Baumann and I’m doing research for my master’s thesis in sociology on Harry Potter fan fiction at the University of Graz, Austria. As a sociologist, I am especially interested in the social background of fan fiction authors: where they come from, how old they are, etc. Through my research I found that, many studies on fan fiction are done in the fields of literary studies, women studies, or cultural studies but there are very little sociological data available, especially on the Harry Potter fan fiction community.

In order to gather sociological data on Harry Potter fan fiction authors, I developed a short online questionnaire. If you are an author of Harry Potter fan fiction you would immensely help me with my research if you could answer this questionnaire at
http://fanfiction.frontexperts.com

The questions will take about 10 minutes to answer and there will be no spam or advertising when you click the link. The evaluation is done anonymously and the data will be used solely for academic research. If you have any questions regarding the questionnaire or my research please feel free to contact me at fanfictions@gmx.net or visit my LifeJournal.

Thank you!
Best,
Petra

Hello, everyone. I'm Nick, and I've writen a bit of fanfiction. It's almost all Slash, so I should fit right in.

I mostly got into Slash after reading some Japanese Yaoi. Great stuff, really. So from there on I've been hooked. I practically won't watch certain shows because there's no possible Slash in it. Having said that, a couple of the fandoms I might be post fanfictions for here are: 
South Park
House MD
Dexter

If you wanna read all my previous stuff it's all here: http://www.fanfiction.net/~typical…

Thanks for reading,

hey im new, i was just wondering .. can i post any fiction i write here, because in a different i didnt read the guide lines and everyone yelled at me when i posted an original fiction in a bandfiction community.

Marshall Mathers/Steve Hewitt (who is the drummer from Placebo, and can be seen in all his loveliness here). Very short, no plot, not even much porn. Hope you enjoy.

A Perfect Moment - Sometimes a moment can las a lifetime.

Pairing: Eminem/Justin Timberlake
Rating: PG
Summery: Justing is fantasising...

Well, this is my first ever story featuring Justin Timberlake (more like a drabble, really). I'd like to defend myself by saying that this was a challenge from katevh. She said I had to write a short piece featuring lyrics from a Timberlake song. I didn't know any so I looked one up on Google. I've never even heard the bloody thing. So I took, like the first verse and went from there.

I haven't done a challenge in a while, so here goes.

Two people are trying to communicate dispite the fact they speak diffrent languages.

Hi, I'm new here.
I joined because I need to start writing more and I figuire that slash can't be a bad place to start and that maybe challenges might get my ass into action.
