Thesis Snippet
Hey everyone! I know that many of you have been waiting for years for me to post about my thesis, and I figured, “No time like the present.” So, here’s a snippet from the first chapter in my thesis in which I attempt to codify the various genres of fanfiction.
The actual snippet is under the cut for length. I’ve tagged everyone I could think of who has asked me about my thesis. I sincerely apologize if I missed anyone.

Also, considering that this was written by me and is (as far as I know) only privately published within the college I attended, I doubt that I need to leave any disclaimers. That said, note that all of these ideas are original and have existed in print since I wrote it between 2013 and 2015.
I’ve gotten some more asks, so I’m posting this again :)
For the record, the information in my thesis is now wildly outdated because I completed it in 2015. That’s the main reason I’m not sharing more of it. That, and I focused a lot of my work on Harry Potter as a fanbase because it had the largest number of fics at the time. Obviously, I wouldn’t be focusing on it now :s But I’m still happy to point people in the right direction if they’re doing similar studies!
