Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couch bound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.

Hmmm I kind of like that :)

Oh I've read that article! And yeah, that's probably the best and my most favorite quote about fanfiction ever <3. If anyone ever asks me what fanfiction is, this is what I will show them.
