I partcularly like this quote:
"My preferred explanation is the idea that the vast majority of what we watch is from the male perspective – authored, directed, and filmed by men, and mostly straight white men at that. Fan fiction gives women and other marginalised groups the chance to subvert that perspective, to fracture a story and recast it in her own way. … It often feels as if there isn’t much space for difference in the dominant cultural narratives; in fandom, by design, there’s space for all."
Fan Fiction started out as exclusively female but more males seem to be getting involved. Love the words TRANSFORMATIVE FANDOM.
