Where is the author in reader insert?

These past weeks, reading about RPF, I danced around the question of the fan fictionalizing the very fan narratives that they live in. Yet so far I haven’t touched on a genre that appears to be more popular in RPF

The fiction of stars and fans as real people

(The question at the centre of RPF is) “what if?” This question is the question asked by each one of these Hiddleston fans arguing that he should be left some space. What if a man performed six nights a week

The porn in slash and slash in porn

I have brought you a paper before that talked about how derivative practices appear in the work of porn studios. We can also observe porn fragments used in fanworks. By their very nature, slash manips also make clear the oft-overlooked

Real People as Derivations of the played characters
