but how much of wide sargasso sea plays with the text and how much with the reception? i don't think too much of the latter (flaubert's parrot might be a counterexample that employs the latter but there you don't have the fanfic element any more...)

and yes, i've gotten to the point where i think degree and see fanfic communities as an exemplary way to address issues of intertextuality that are really not addressed this much in lit theory...
