incorporation/resistance paradigm of audience responses to media should be replaced by a so-called spectacle/performance paradigm:

notion of theft may be misconstrued to indicate an inherent disparity between original text and slash rewriting

just as the relationship between writers and readers existsin a queer female space, so too does the writer/writer collaboration.

de Certeau's `poaching' model emphasizes the process of making meaning and the fluidity of popular interpretation"

no subject position is completely outside the field of study,

emphasis on character, commitment, and nurture

what fans are really doing is manipulating bodies in space,

fiction as a textual attempt to make certain characters "perform" according to different behavioral strips.

textual considerations come after discussions of cultural reception, and production issues still focus on the "primary" media text.'
