is study explores wordplay in the works of CLAMP, a popular Japanese
mangaka (comic artist) group. Speci cally, it examines CLAMP's use of
ateji, the pairing of kanji (Chinese characters) and furigana (a reading gloss)
with di erent meanings. is allows two di erent words to become one, cre-
ating meanings that transcend words' literal de nitions. Original research on
ateji in six di erent manga zasshi (comic magazines) and three of CLAMP's
works-Cardcaptor Sakura, Tsubasa: RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE, and
Clover-identi es ve distinct ateji techniques. is study focuses on the
way these techniques are employed by CLAMP to express complex ideas,
develop plot, and portray characters. As a technique embedded within the
Japanese language, the implications of ateji use in manga extend beyond the
medium of comics, pointing to shifting trends in the language as a whole.

Very interesting analysis of Dumbledore's motives, starting from why he sent Hagrid to introduce Harry to the Wizarding World instead of a more dependable and level-headed faculty member. Unlikely that this is how JKR envisioned it, but the analysis makes so much sense and is so well-supported by canon evidence that it sounds far more likely than JKR's own interpretation of Dumbledore. Gives a whole different meaning to 'creating a monster': the author's idea of the character seems far less reasonable than the readers' here, and it's not pretty.

The prevalence of such curious language use led me to think that fan-writers must have influenced one another’s diction because they read so much of one another’s writing, with the result that they incorporated the idiosyncratic as the norm.

These are only surface manifestations. There are deeper phenomena. The foremost is that the world inhabited by the characters in some fan fiction reflects the limited experiences of the writers.

There is nothing wrong with this if the characters are from the American middle class. Unfortunately, many popular shows feature people not acculturated in such a milieu—Methos, Duncan MacCleod of the Clan MacCleod, Benton Fraser, Harry Potter, Snape, Tom Paris, Chakotay, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon. . . . Consequently, the specter of these characters spouting psychobabble is disconcerting, to say the very least.
