heads up

[meelie]

There's going to be a discussion about fan fiction on the Triple J morning show starting this morning after 10am - they've said that they're going to be discussing slash.

If you're not in Australia and you're interested you can probably listen to it streaming at the Triple J website.

Hopefully the article wont be horribly biased....

I was supposed to be interviewed for one of these, so was Luthien. We both ran a mile... Some people love the publicity, though.

They've just asked if anyone who writes wants to call in, will be interesting to see who says what if anyone.

Let me know what it's like. I can't listen to it at work.

[meelie.livejournal.com]

will do. Am currently trying to recover from the whole *nsync flavour of the report.

I was sitting at my desk covering my mouth at one point in shock(good shock, but still!)

[sinden.livejournal.com]

heh... I can imagine! ;)

Anyone know Sue Turnbull, who is on it as an expert? I started to listen to it via the website, but figured this is a pretty silly thing to risk getting in trouble about (I'm at work). Hope someone tapes it though :)

[meelie.livejournal.com]

yeah I hope someone taped it too. :)

Don't know of that Sue Turnbull, or that "Sarah" and "Tara" they mentioned

Though, in the brief time I was listening, he was mentioning what people write fanfic about, such as Buffy, Harry Potter, "even Star Trek" (whaddya mean, even?), he mentioned that it get's written about real people too.

You should have kept listening. REALLY.

Lot's of nsync music and a Joey/Justin thing righth at the end.

Meeep!!!

Um, I love these kind of interviews in a way because they always seem to find the least written pairing. Serious, I like Timbertone but there really isn't a huge amount of it out there in comparison to the other pairings.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Maybe Triple J saw the House of Blues reports too *g*. But yes, media articles about slash often seem to focus on rarer pairings.

[sinden.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I guess those two are the most visible at the moment, but it's still seems to be an odd pairing to focus on.
