Yet Another Article On Fanfic and Slash

I really wish someone would write an article about fanfic, and especially about slash, that isn't all "Look at the freaks!" I want one article, just one to actually go into motivation and (slash) fanfic culture/"community", something just a bit more in-depth.

Of course, this might be because I want to read such an article -- I want to see what fan culture looks like from the outside, but apparently no one really sees fan culture from the outside. Apparently, the "nerds and wankers" aura is too thick for people to realise there's a bit more behind it -- we are nerds and wankers, of course, but I like to think there's a bit more, as well. (If nothing else, a large group of tiny groups of writers banding together, which, to me, was one of the big revelations of discovering slash.)

I'm not making much sense, I know.
