That's pretty much the basis of my assumptions and arguments, so it is certainly something I will get into with my paper :) I'm in the initial stages at the moment, trying to map the whole thing out, and I'm mainly trying to think of good examples to delve into and explain. It really is quite fascinating, how coherent a subculture fandom is!

It absolutely is.

You should look up some of Mary Bucholtz' work, particularly "Why Be Normal? Language and Identity Practices In A Community Of Nerd Girls." It's not about fanfiction, and it's linguistics / sociology rather than literary analysis or whatever, but it's still a great body of work in terms of attempting to define nerds as a subculture and get at some of the characteristics and definitional qualities of what we mean when we say something as a nerd. And I would suspect that there's an extremely substantial overlap between the group that she's examining as "nerds" and online fanfiction communities. Should mostly be up JSTOR.

I think most of the other studies that have looked at this kind of thing have been from an education studies / online literacy perspective, which is kind of unfortunate, since that's not particularly useful for this kind of study.

Good luck to you, though - it's a fascinating topic.

Thank you for the rec! I think I've come across the title before and forgotten about it, but it sounds like it could be very useful.

Yeah, finding materials is an interesting exercise. I'm gathering anything and everything that sounds the slightest bit interesting or relevant.

Thank you :)

Honestly, even if you can't use it, you should still read it, because it's an amazing paper. Just Bucholtz interviewing a bunch of nerdy girls at a high school in California in the early 90s. It's great fun.

Sounds like it! And the way my paper looks right now I can use anything relevant to subcultures of any kind, if nothing else than for my own pleasure and background reading.
