my experience of uni and the PPC by

...is that they don't actually check up on these things. If it's one particular module of your course, the odds of whoever's teaching you taking a dramatic interest, seeing what's happening, and pulling a load of lawyers on fandom's head in the name of creativity are minimal. If you were, for example, basing a Phd on a fanfictiony topic that relied heavily on the PPC, you'd be drawing a little more attention, but even then, the prospects of negative legal impact are slim; the greater worry would be having a tutor who objected in some way and thus marked you down. And if you're concentrating on the phenomena aspect rather than anything else peculiar to the fanfiction world, as a paper it works, and there would also be little basis that I can see for problems with your tutor.
And certainly, if you're choosing the PPC and related phenomena, your surveys and whatnot should be thrown this way.

Your agents have a great dynamic, and your writing is solid. Definitely a good first mission.
April would like to know if Crebaina has had any problem with the disguise generator and Aeron. The generator in RC 1701 tends to squish Fitch into April's shoulder.

I don't remember who, but there have been a couple of people who have done surveys and such on the Board for school projects.
As I see it, the only real question is, do you care if your professors know what you do in your spare time?

The final was on a subculture of our choice; I devoted a paragraph to fanfiction. I think it's entirely plausible, as long as you back everything up with data and you have your professor's blessing.
We will want to be seeing this essay. It sounds cool.
I say go for it!

There are certain things that make for bad inspiration. Dreams are usually on that list. This would be another thing.
I'm just glad it doesn't seem to have anything to do with PotO. Though I only looked at the first chapter.

and so as I see it it's a legit topic for an essay. The police aren't going to break in here with the thumbscrews and yell 'put down the novels!' after reading your essay :)
I'm also reasonably certain that other people have talked about the PPC in school/uni projects before and it has been fine.
I'm all for it. What do others think?

Why is it that they can make the author's notes look halfway decent, upping our hopes, only to dash them with the first lines of the story?

Would it be wise to discuss the PPC in an academic essay? by
on 2008-07-16 23:36:00 UTC

Hi, all - I need some advice.
For a paper I'm currently taking at uni, the semester's major project is a long essay on a non-fiction subject of our choice. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think I can make fanfiction as a community phenomena my subject - which, quite frankly, would make my day, because of all the topic ideasI've had so far, it's the only one that really sparks my interest.
In the course of researching I would be doing a lot of research, including surveys, which I may offer to everyone here, if you're interested in helping, but my main issue at the moment is whether or not it would be wise to talk, however briefly, about the PPC in a rather offical essay. I'm going to write a section on the legality of fanfic itself, and defend it, but Tungsten Monk's recent withdrawal has made me cautious; I don't want to get anyone, including myself, in trouble, and the PPC is a much smaller and more specific group than fanfic writers in general.
So I ask you; is it wise?
I'm pitching the idea to my professor in a day or so, and nothing's final yet anyway, but I'd like your opinions on the matter.
Thanks in advance,
- Sedri

Thanks! And yes, you guessed right.
Crebaina thinks Teek is immature, rash, and far too hyper; plus, she can't stand her tastes in music, but Teek insists on hooking up her iPod to whatever's available and blasting Queen after every successful mission.
Teek, meanwhile, is jealous of Crebaina's dæmon and the fact that she's from another world, and thinks she's too cold and haughty. (It doesn't help that Crebaina's natural expression is rather arrogant, but it's just the way her face seems.)
To make matters even worse, she tried to pet François the iguana, who promptly bit her.
They'll probably have to be firmly bonded through strife; i.e. REALLY terrible badfic.

Does it seem at all possible that the author is a Draco and/or Tom Felton fanbrat?
*bashes head against wall*
I don't know if I hate mindless fornication!Hermione any more or less than the version that just likes buying Muggle designer clothes. Why is her characterisation so hard for Suethors?
Oh, sorry, Earth Logic takes some time to throw off completely. *sigh*
Thanks for the compliments. :) *tips hat* I hope to embark on a long career of killing badfic from here on in.

I'm hoping to make them less average as time goes on, but eh, first mission, characterisation isn't going to be totally formed yet.
I would like to meet your agents as well; you're the second person to say that so far, actually- how would one set up that sort of thing?
You may certainly have my googlemail:

I chuckled and winced at the same time. And I agree, it would be fun to write one of these characters, especially if you took them to an extreme of Sueishness or non-Sueishness. What generator is this from?
