fanfiktion A writer on haters and spoofs Within the fan culture there are so many haters writing parodies. There are almost more parodies about 'stuff I hate' than people writing about things they like. As a fan you shouldn't take it as personal as some people do. It's important to have a critical perspective. But I also find it ridiculous when people are hating so badly and making other peoples' lives miserable. It's a little too much that people on those forums can maintain those discussions for so long. But there is something about the ironic style that is cool. When it's not outright hate, it's actually fun you know, and sometimes it's almost the best kind of fan fiction."
fanfiktion Emmet and Edward It wasn t like I didn t know it was a bad thing. Hell, I could feel how bad it was! But watching the expression on Edward s face when he read Emmet s thoughts well, that just about made my day. Alright, so I m a bad person? Allow me to have a little fun! It s my 79th birthday, okay?

HOW DO ADULTS READ THE POPULAR?
fanfiktion RECEPTION IN DANISH NEWS Discussing young women's emotional life:
fanfiktion The Danish media critics are maintaining the cultural hierarchy within which "vulgar hogwash romance", "morons", "bad taste" and the "involuntary comical" is linked to young women's emotional lives, that apparently only exists at the bottom of the cultural pecking order
EDUCATIONAL ISSUES
fanfiktion IN THE CLASS ROOM? Does fan culture have a role to play in the class room at all?
fanfiktion Renews tradition The fan culture in a way renews the tradition and thereby in some way maintains it. Fan cultures are much more aesthetically faceted and nuanced than many adults imagine a popular culture being. Fan culture brings out new literary competencies, text linguistics and genres. Is it the way to renew tradition?
fanfiktion New media literacies Fan fiction is a part of the new media literacies. Aspects that can be used both pedagogically and educationally. On the other hand, fan culture has its own value; founded on a sub-cultural capital that might profit from being part of the more private and personal niches, affinity spaces and groups from which they emerge. Should it be in the class room at all? Being a part of the new literacy, the answer is yes.
fanfiktion What to do in the class room Students can research by using one of the following methods: Auto etnography Etnography in the living room Etnography among informants.
