Thanks so much for that! My thesis is sort of on fanfic - well, more on the concept of originality and ownership in literature, but fanfic and pop culture response is a huge part of that. I am constantly on the lookout for any kind of scholarly book or article dealing with fandom. I've read some of Bacon-Smioth's stuff, and you're right about the conclusions here being outdated. I find that in a lot of the literature that is the case, but fandom is a constantly changing thing and also, a lot of it is done more my cultural studies scholars and not necessarily people with any kind of inside look. Of course, some of them probably know fandom. I know professors involved in fandom. It's not just for sci-fi geeks anymore.
