"Fanfic is not literature" okay but what is the point of literature if not to get occasional comments from people who want you to know that the weird gay little story that you wrote during a difficult time in your life brought them comfort and joy and hope for the future

Great thread with links - relevant to those doing research in the digital wilds.

Anyway, buckle up this is about to be a VERY long thread with lots of thoughts and links to papers. 🧵
