So fanon is a window into what alterations and additions to canon largish groups of fans tend to invent, select, and adopt as their own. One of my biggest interests re slash (as well as fanfic in general) is where people derive their reading pleasure, and fanon gives me a nice way to get at that issue. One of fanfiction’s largest problems is that of plagiarism. Apart from whole stories being lifted, with only the author’s name changed, there is also a subtler nuance to this problem. Recently, some people have been accused of plagiarizing, but have been found to have done so by accident; their fics display some elements of another story, or their characters seem to have been taken from another author’s character-portrayal. Dinah reads fanfic, but prefers to read them in fandoms she does not write for: Instead of reading HP fanfic, she will read slash and gen (general) fic for Wolf’s Rain (a Japanese anime – 2003) or Pirates of the Caribbean. She is “afraid of absorbing that stuff, and putting it into [her] own and be accused of plagiarism.” She also is aware of the rampant fanon character interpretations, which she attempts to avoid, as she wants to use her own interpretation of the HP protagonists. Interactive: Mel Did you know that there is a specific group of people who look for/investigate plagiarizing? PPP (Plagiarism Police Patrol) started for anime-based fandoms, where there was a huge problem with copy/paste plagiarism, and has since grown into two separate groups, the PPP, and the PPP2 (non-anime fandoms). Plagiarism is actually a bigger problem in fanfiction than most people realize. Since nothing is officially copyrighted, there is not much a person can do to protect his or her writings. It is up to the readers and the community to spread the word and report problems like this to archive moderators. PPP and PPP2 do this on a larger scale - they 72
use several different ideas of plagiarism, and send "official" reports to the original author and the plagiarist, as well as to mailing lists within the appropriate fandoms and to archive owners. They keep files on people who have plagiarized repeatedly. I was a member of the PPP for a short while, but it takes a lot of time and effort -- these people were very thorough with investigating possible plagiarism. They were also very knowledgeable about the fandoms in which they read. Something that I found interesting about them was that everybody read everything that was brought forth, no matter what the fandom or pairing. Unless they had serious issues with it, they still actively participated. You also had asked me earlier about fanon versus canon stuff? I didn’t know what specifically you wanted me to talk about, but I can understand why Dinah wouldn’t want to read a lot of fics in the genres/fandoms she writes in. I think that the two fandoms that have the largest canon versus fanon debates and issues are Harry Potter and Buffy. My personal favorite of the two are the Bonding issues. I can’t help but wonder if it is something that moved from one group into the other, based on the fact that both fandoms deal with the whole mystical realm. Both should appeal to the same group of people, and have a lot of things in common.... namely magic. In Buffy fanfiction, the idea of some sort of bonding ceremony between vampires, or a vampire and a human, has become a huge genre of sorts all of its own. Usually, it involves sex and/or ritual involving blood (since it is about vampires) and biting. The ritual is rarely the same from story to story; in some, it is the bite itself that makes the "claim" and in others, it is the ritual that magically binds the vampire and his chosen. The idea of a Consort or Mate is not something that is part of canon, at least as far as I know, and yet it is in probably 3/4 of Buffy fanfiction, both het and slash. It is the same with HP fics - there are a lot of “magical bonding” fics that are very similar to the fanon Consort bonds in Buffy. They take the form of anything from a marriage ceremony backed by a magical tie to a magic spell backed by sex. But, seeing as the characters in HP are all underage, there is no basis for this in the books. So where did it come from, if not from another fandom? 73
