fandebate: GENDER AND FAN CULTURE (ROUND TWENTY-ONE): BARBARA LUCAS AND AVI D. SANTO - PART ONE
While the new technologies offer fans more creative possibilities, I do not see creators giving much access to their power to fans in significant ways. However, I do see fans offering fellow fans more sophisticated (and competitive) alternatives to the c
- fandebate: GENDER AND FAN CULTURE (ROUND TWENTY-ONE): BARBARA LUCAS AND AVI D.
