 //Basically, I could write (have written) a 5,000 word essay on why this book is mostly bullshit. A lot of the essays are actually really good, but Jamison purposely doesn't delve into anime, manga, video game, sports, or music fandoms, so it's a pretty shitty representation of fan culture from the start.// //Basically, I could write (have written) a 5,000 word essay on why this book is mostly bullshit.

 //This is like reading a try-hard blog post pasted between essays. The author spends like 5 pages passing judgement on everyone--Avocado, FF.N, Pamela Dean--but when it comes time to pass judgement on Cassie (and Aja? Was this about Aja? Because the author and Aja are friends, so that would make sense), then noooo she wasn't there, can't comment. Jesus.// //This is like reading a try-hard blog post pasted between essays.
