That fanfic would have to have mass appeal feels a bit scary to me. I like things much better when it is small groups of devoted nerds and geeks rather than large groups of people who are too similar. Diversity drives the model upwards.

Very informative although I may not have caught all of the nuances. Thanks for this.

Yeah, I think a lot of people are attracted to fanworks because of the handcrafted, niche quality. Thanks for reading!

Great write=ups. Thank you so much for these! Hope you had a great time :)

[rivkat]

Thank you! It was probably too much travel but hindsight, etc.

Thank you so much for posting your notes - which I'll read when I get home tonight. I was supposed to go to this, had a hotel reservation and everything, but RL intervened. So I'm glad to be able to learn about it vicariously.

I'm sorry you had to miss it!

Thanks for this!
I went to the Whedon installment at DePaul in 2014, but didn't realize this year's would be on SPN. Neato.

You're welcome!
