Yesterday, mysduende brought my attention to an article in Movie Magic magazine. I picked up the Tenth Anniversary Collector's Edition when I was at Border's earlier, and it is loaded with HP articles and pictures about the movies and fandom. (Pansy is actually mentioned on page ten! *g*)

Harry Potter and His Amazing Fan Community, a well-written article ( Read more... )

public, fan fiction, fandom

Congrats! I bet you were squeeing up a storm. I wonder if Barnes and Noble has that mag?

Barnes & Noble probably has it. *nods*

It was kind of fun to see fandom people and places I'm familiar with in actual print. The article had a very positive spin on fandom, and that made me very happy.

Next thing you know, the Paparazzi will be after you...

Very cool! What did they have to say about the ball?

"While there are local groups that get together for Potter discussions and events, like the HP Ohio and Potterdelphia (Philadelphia!) groups, who both hosted Yule Balls last Christmas, much of the fan creativity is developed and shared online."

It's a great article. There is a ton about fan fiction and besides Sea, several fics that I've read are mentioned. It's so cool to see bits of our online world in print.

Yeah, what RVC said. *g*

Glad you liked the article!

I still don't have a copy myself.....

I mean, I've read it. But not on *paper*.

The magazine is all glossy and professional-looking. :)

I love the article! The variety of fandom activities you cited really shows the fandom to it's best advantage. Well done, Heidi!

LOL! I'll send you a copy with your lollipops, which are sitting in a box on my desk. The lollies are round now, not square! I'm sure they will taste the same.
