Seventh Sanctum Thought: Community

by

Just a shout-out to the regular Seventh Sanctum users – got one of the old guard from years back who wants to revive the message boards. I’d like to see what people think.

Sure there’s a Facebook page, but it’d be good to have something completely “ours.”

So what do you guys think would help?

That Fanfic Line’s A-Blurring

by

Now that the Silo series by Hugh Howey is ending, he’s opening it up to fanfic on Kindle Worlds.  This is even more interesting as he cultivated his audience online.

I’ve begun speculating, as have my fellow MuseHackers, on just where fanfic is going to go now that Amazon is monetizing it.  This of course gets even more intereting when you ask about social pressure to “fanficify” your work, or ways alternate works could be made.  I mean if you think about it one book could been written and spawn FAR more fanfic than its original contents.
