Subject: New chapter, post-OotP fic by Barb
Message-ID: <c2aakm+4lp2@...>

The latest chapter of "Replay" is up on The Dark Arts at Fiction 
Alley.  "Replay" is a new 30-chapter post-Order of the Phoenix 
fanfiction by the author of the PSYCHIC SERPENT series of 
fanfictions, although it is not necessary to read any of the Psychic 
Serpent fics to read "Replay."


Chapter Three: Absent without Leave

Go to:

http://www.thedarkarts.org/cgi-bin/links/jump.cgi?ID=12870

The aftermath of the attack on number four, Privet Drive. Harry 
realises what he did to break the protection spell and races back to 
Little Whinging in a panic, having seen the news report about the 
attack. He has an unexpected ally, but will he hinder Harry more 
than help him? Instinct tells him not to just go blundering into Mrs 
Figg's when he sees unfamiliar wizards there, and thus he sets in 
motion a complicated series of events....

Enjoy!

EDITED VOLUME: HARRY POTTER FAN FICTION

Contributions are sought for a proposed collection of essays about 
Harry Potter fan fiction.

Scholars from all disciplines are invited to submit abstracts or 
completed essays.  Essays on young writers, the transnational 
fandom, and fan works from outside the English-speaking world are 
especially needed, but all submissions are very welcome.

Paper topics might include, but are by no means limited to:

- Issues related to the source material 
 Studies focused on
writing 
by young people
- Studies of particular subgenres and their traditions, such as 
bodies of fan work focused on particular characters or 
relationships, or around generic constraints such as 
challenges, "filks" (song parodies) or "drabbles" (100 word fics)
- Studies of the various communities (mostly on-line) in which 
participants exchange works and ideas, and of specific issues within 
those communities, such as status, collaboration, or conflict
- Quantitative and demographic studies 
 Fan art in visual media 
(for instance comics, illustrations, or doujinshi)
- Intellectual property and/in the Harry Potter fan fiction 
community 
- Studies of fan productions from outside the English-speaking world

Because the audience for this book will come from many backgrounds 
(both academic and otherwise), and because it will be introducing 
readers to an extensive lexicon of fandom terminology, it is 
imperative that all essays be as free as possible of academic jargon.

Please send abstracts of no less than 300 words, or completed 
essays, to glaubman at earthlink.net.  I would also appreciate a brief 
note about your background and interest in the topic.  Inquiries 
welcome at any time.
