Several scholars have emphasized that fan writers are no slaves to their source text.
Great sentence.

Fan fiction studies have typically respected this framework by either taking an ethnographic approach to the subject or considering the motivations, interpretations, and metatexts of fans (Busse and Hellekson 17-24).
So fascinating how "metatexts" themselves are considered fanwork. Reminiscent of the Symposium, a collection of essays about fandom by its members that ran from 1999-2006. http://www.trickster.org/symposium/colyear.html#1999

It's winter time and that means it's cold out there, like Hajnalka notes. Shivering little bodies shuffling from class to class. Seeing as vcu is a school where classes are scattered all over it just seems like a “double whammy” to study for hours and hours, and days and days, then have to sniffle your way to a classroom where you'll be stuck up against all those other students for just a few hours. Also, like the brilliant Hajnalka noted, traveling is a bummer for many students as well, so to have to travel for a mere two hour long test when it could be done at their house seems like an even more bummer. Even you, professor, allowed a student of yours in our theory class go home because you thought her well-being surpassed being in a physical classroom (sorry to hit you with that example, but it's all I got!). I know we are so privileged to be in a safe and community focused school, where we are tremendously lucky to have access to teachers and college in general, and I just know that we're beyond appreciative and grateful for all those things … but we've had all of our other exams (quizzes) online already, I think we've become used to it. I'd totally understand coming to class for an exam if that's how it was done the whole semester, but seeing as it wasn't we're addicted to the home exams...no worries though, it's not a serious addiction! ...(thank you thank you thank you Hajnalka for taking the time to create the argument we all agree with! ) (p.s. Sorry to debate you professor! It's all in good fun....but we're serious too!) -bria g-g

In the final analysis, intellectual property shares much of the origins and orientation of all forms of property. At the same time, however, it is a more neutral institution than other forms of property: its limited scope and duration tend to prevent the very accumulation of wealth that Burke championed.
