Phoenix Rising & FictionAlley Have a Challenge For You

[Heidi]

Since 2006, FictionAlley has been working with the Phoenix Rising team
to assemble an impressive array of activities for Artists and Authors
Night, including the Keynote Presentation Transformation: From Fan to
Fandom (http://www.thephoenixrises.org/programming/keynotes/#fan)
scheduled for the night of Saturday, May 19, 2007 at the Audubon
Aquarium of the Americas.

Founding FictionAlley administrator Simon Branford will join other
longtime fandomers and MIT's world-renowned fandom and media studies
academic Henry Jenkins at Transformation: From Fan to Fandom as they
discuss from both an academic and a practical standpoint, how an
individual fan experience is turned into a collective fandom
experience through the growth of online fan communities.

It's going to be a fascinating night and a terrific conference - and
we want you to be a part of it! To learn more about Phoenix Rising, or

In cooperation with Phoenix Rising, we have one ticket to
Transformation: From Fan to Fandom to award to one creative fan artist
as well as prizes for the runners-up. Read the rules and learn about
the prizes for the winner and the runners up at
