ENGL 303: Multimedia Writing

Fanfiction about Harry Potter.

Fanfiction about Harry Potter. This site is the oldest fanfiction for Harry Potter out there. "Founded in February 2001, we currently hold over 60,000 stories and receive, on average, over 30 million hits per month." That is a very impressive set of statistics.

This website is another of the "elite" Harry Potter fanfiction sites. It prides itself on not accepting "each and every" fanfic written.

Disney books go visual. "Reading made magaical" - which claims it wasn't before. Looks at the books: somewhere between kindle and computer games.

An archive of secrets that have never been published to Post Secret before. I believe this will help my research on this topic in looking at why some secrets are chosen over others and what exactly being "published" means.

This blog is written by a published author. He has written and continues to write books about software or code. In this blog post he discusses authorship in terms of open source. He makes an argument about how writing in general should be treated more like open source software is created. I am using his assertions to help development my claims that sites like webook.com are open source communities that allow authors to share ideas.

This website is useful for fanfic writers in that it is a site where beta readers congregate--all an author must do is contact one of the betas from this site in order to proof a fanfic.

This article might prove useful to those working on Fan Fiction. The beta readers are useful for another set of eyes on a particular work, though they are not always used. FanFiction.net does have betas for authors to contact, but does not automatically provide them. If they did, the quality of the site might be improved.

I kept thinking of WIkipedia during the discussion about online anonymity and the idea that "anyone" can edit a page. This article gives information about the Reliability and Quality of sources and information, though also linking to pages where a person can find the style guide to keep wikipedia articles looking the same.

This site is set up exactly like Google.com, but instead of searching the entire web it only searches Twitter messages. The purpose of this site (if there is one) is to type in whatever word or phrase you want and it will search through thousands of Twitter messages and bring up the ones where your words appear in. For example if I type the word "school" into the Twitter Search, it will bring back anyone's status that currently has the word school in it. This site also represents multimedia authorship because it taking people's tweets and allowing others to read them freely without knowing whose status it is. I never asked for anyone to search a word and to use my tweet just because it comes up on this search engine. I would like read about the terms of use in the Twitter website and if it does state that your tweets are open to anyone, because I think it is truly crazy how there are websites designed to spy and allow others to read what you are typing.
