What is fanfiction, and what is it not? Why does fanfiction matter? And what makes it so important to the future of literature? "Fic" is a groundbreaking exploration of the history and culture of fan writing and what it means for the way we think about reading, writing, and authorship. It's a story about literature, community, and technology--about what stories are being told, who's telling them, how, and why. With provocative discussions from both professional and fan writers, on subjects from "Star Trek" to "The X-Files" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" to Harry Potter, Twilight, and beyond, "Fic" sheds light on the widely misunderstood world(s) of fanfiction--not only how fanfiction is transforming the literary landscape, but how it already has. "Fic" features a foreword by Lev Grossman (author of "The Magicians") and interviews with Jonathan Lethem, Doug Wright, Eurydice (Vivean Dean), and Katie Forsythe/wordstrings.
