Someone wrote an academic paper on Josh/Donna shippers in The West Wing fandom. Even if you didn't watch the show it's still an interesting read on the culture of fandom.

Ooh this should be interesting...

It really is! I hadn't realised so much academic study had already been done on fandom.

It also fills me with fear that at some point in the near future a post-grad student will pull quotes from my LJ. There are some moments from my time in Veronica Mars fandom that I do not want preserved for posterity in academia!

Oh my! I don't think any of my VM thoughts need to be shared as academic in any way shape or form. Maybe it's a good thing I'm mostly locked down now.

We were so young then. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age when we thought that typing episode reactions in all caps would force Rob Thomas to end Veronica/Duncan.
