The night after listening to the Fic Clique episode on genre and subgenre in fandom (an EXCELLENT listen, before I argue with it I want to be clear that I loved it and it made my brain light up), I wrote an entire goddamn essay in 12 pt Times New Roman double-spaced and just yeeted said Word doc at the hosts. Until now, I've been too lazy to figure out how to format it for DW, but I do want to share it here frankly because I'm afraid I'll lose the file as much as because I just want to yell about gen fic always. Many thanks to deepestbluesky for helping out with the Chicago citations; I no longer have institutional access to the manual. :( Anyway, below is the essay, reproduced as well as I can on DW.
