fan fiction

On my computer, I wrote troves of poetry and metaphorical stories, burdening Microsoft Word documents with lamentations about the depression I had been dealing with since fourth grade, and about my parents divorcing. Alone in my room, symbolic pen in my hand, I began, in earnest, to cement my career as a writer.

Tuesday’s talk covered everything from the nutritional value of algae to Weir’s hobbies of mixology, woodworking and board games.

I’ve got a lot of stories I want to tell, and I’ve gotten good enough at writing to recognize that these stories cannot be told in a written format.

At a weekly DeCal class called “The Theory of Fanfiction,” students share and explore the forms and themes of fan fiction.
