3 Important Authors in Fan Studies

Though my research into how the history of derivative works could influence our understandings of copyright today is not exclusively focused on fanfiction, I do get the play in the Fan Studies field a little. Below are 3 authors I keep running into in the literature:

  1. Mary Ellen Curtin
  2. Matt Hills
  3. Cory Doctorow*

*He’s not an academic in the field like the other two are, but his progressiveness on copyright is extremely influential.
