Episode notes

In this State of the Field episode, Amy and Sarah start a new miniseries on the unconventional and ungovernable world of fanfiction. What is fanfiction and how does it differ from just another adaptation? Why do people write fanfiction and where do they publish it? Can fanfiction ever go mainstream? And how do authors feel about it: a contributor to canon, free publicity, or a copyright nuisance?
