Info

The problem with this sentiment, for me, was founded in my recollection of reading “Normal Female Interest” and finding the lack of an authorial position disorienting. The abundance of fan statements contained in the text is only loosely connected together, and rarely understandable in their organizational structure. Each opinion and fan’s voice was interesting in and of itself, but as a complex whole left me hanging. The second instance that caused me to reconsider some attempt at interactivity was the increasing feedback I received from friends, and the wish to display their input. Realizing that this text could only benefit from some degree of experimental exercise, and resolved to attempt interactivity, but at the same time not lose my theoretical and textual framework, I decided to create certain interactive spaces. Circulating my manuscript, I asked each fan who was willing to “react” to pick a section, if it spoke to them, and to “write me back.” Though some of my friends had problems with this, asking me for more guidelines or explanation, in the end everyone who wished to chose a section and reacted. These paragraphs are contained within the “interactive” boxes throughout this text, as a reminder that the fans described throughout this ethnography possess voices of their own, beyond mine, as well as a reflection of the interactivity latent in both the online medium as well as its fan communities. This text is then readable as both a trajectory, inasmuch as each section builds on the one preceding it, as well as a networked, or perhaps 40
linked, text with the connections of people, spaces and fandoms expanding to the horizon if followed. As it follows the fans and attempts to translate their activities and parts of their lives, it can, and should perhaps, be read as both, in order to gain a dual perspective. 41
