Wiki on Feminist Science Fiction and Musings on Legolas
July 21, 2006
Yesterday, while googling wikis, I found what looks like a fun and interesting wiki about feminist science fiction. It looks like it could use more contributors, but it has some interesting entries and links, like this one to an article about online female fanfiction written in Tolkien fanfiction communities on Yahoo. I learned that most online fanfiction is written by women. I also learned of the existence of “Legomances” (stories fantasizing about the author and Legolas)
There’s more going on with Legolas than simple romance, thought. It’s not uncommon for fanfiction authors to look at Legolas as a Muse or at the race of elves in general as Muses.
