For the Melbourne crowd
Look.Stop.Shop, literary fan fiction readings at City Basement Books
Literary fan fiction is the sacred act of your favourite book being re-written by the mind of a brilliant, twisted pop-culture junkie who just doesn’t know when to quit. It's a beautiful, well-cultivated playground where smut and high-brow culture hang out and talk shit like old childhood friends. If you aren't someone who has ever indulged in something like this, it can be a fascinating but understandably intimidating subculture to delve into. For three Saturdays this July, leave any skepticism at home and weigh up these staggering geniuses in person as they read their works at City Basement Books - all over hot tea and biscuits.
I'm not certain who wrote the above but don't be scared; this is intended to be a friendly series of Saturday afternoons for fanfiction readers and writers to get together and talk fic, books & fandom. All welcome (the dates are July 6, 12 and 20, 2.30pm) and let me know if you'd like to do a reading -- the emphasis will be on book-inspired fic. Because BOOKS ♥♥♥
