As do I. My stance on seriality is intellectual; in the heat of the moment, I can get as frustrated with the WiP as anyone else, even if I know in my head that it is good for me, like awfull-tasting medecine.
so i'd argue that unless you have a virginal writer and a virginal reader, you'll have fantext interaction...does that make sense???
Well, I think part of what is going on is that the more virginal a writer is able to act, the more their story is likely to satisfy the requirements of mainstream aesthetics?
And what you say makes sense and is of course true, but I guess I'm unconvinced of its significance. Does the fantext play a role in fanfiction that is somehow different than the equivalent (meta)texts in other social endeavors?
