Will look at the phenomenon of fan fiction – fictional extensions ofthe reality of popular television shows – specifically concerning theshow Grey’s Anatomy. Will ask questions of how this was done before the internet, and maybe also how some people have taken to creating videoextensions of these fictional worlds. Should ask questions of genre,narrativity, and also the nature of writing style (have any of theseauthors managed to add legitimate new dimensions to their worlds?). Ofcourse, must ask why this flourishes on the internet and whatrelationship it has to other web phenomena. Do the television producerscare? Has fan fiction generated revenue for the show? Has fan fiction ever saved a show from being cancelled?
