My girlfriend's writing a paper on the role fanfiction plays in the fantasy lives of pre-teens and adolescents, with a fandom focus in Harry Potter (both because she's read the books and because it's a good fandom in which to study such things). If anyone knows of any essays on the topic, or information or opinions or ideas which might be useful, please post!

Love you all and wish I had time to finish LoS4 as bribery. ;)
