Fanfiction Through The Decades - Friday 12:00 - 13:00
Fanfiction as it is broadly understood began with Kirk and Spock. In the first years it was relatively hard to come by unless you moved in the right circles; most people had no idea it even existed. Today it is not unusual for it to be discussed in the mainstream media. Over the decades not only has the ease and accessibility of fanfiction increased but so to has the variety of material that inspires it, the type of stories written, and the styles they are written in. In this drop-in session we will revisit long since forgotten fandoms and encounter new ones while exploring the literary changes in fanfiction. During the session you can try and guess when a story was written and from what fandom it came, discuss the evolution and changes in fanfiction with the experienced readers and writers of fanfiction or simply read some of the stories we will have on hand.

There are lots of other fanfic panels, I think.
