as far as reading before commenting goes, if you read the actual blog
entry, you'll see that i already discussed and linked to both those
articles.  but you can only fit so much into the "excerpt" field, so i
just included the first two paragraphs.  

what do you think was the "premise" of the article?  jenkins' comments
about gender issues? (that women write fanfic and men produce fanfilm?)
 i thought the stuff about how lucasarts etc interact with the fan
community, as in what content is okay and what isn't, was more
interesting, and is what i focused my post on.
