ivyblossomOkay, serious question: who lives in Ontario?
I've been contacted by the CBC. They want to do a story about young people writing in slash fandoms, and they're looking for a few good women. I've offered to help them find some. I just got off the phone with a researcher for the show and she's really really cool. I'm sorry that I'm too old for the program (over 25), because I want to go to meet her! She's just discovered slash fanfiction and she thinks it's amazingly cool and has lots of respect for the girls writing it. So she'd like to talk to some.
If you're in Ontario and interested, please let me know! Post and tell me how old you are, if you don't mind. COOL OPPORTUNITY, GUYS!
If you have another fandom, please please link to this post somewhere where slash writers might see it. I think if the CBC does this story with this particular researcher that we'll end up with a really good program about fan culture, since she's so positive and so impressed by us. :)
WHEE LET ME KNOW!
Edited to add: I just got another call from their researcher. She says their plan is to dress people up for the interviews, so you'd totally be anonymous. They're thinking of camping it up too, dressing you up as whatever you want. Marilyn Monroe, TV characters, big glasses, whatever. Make it all the more hush hush and cool.
Dude. I wish I could do this.
