Just sent off a care package of Okal Rel Universe material to a new e-mail correspondent, Dr. Tatjana Chroney. She is interested in the way that votary authors participate in the Fandom Press publications, and in a broader sense how the ORU thrives on contributions from reader/supporters in general. She studies reader response theory from the fascinating perspective of one well acquainted with 17th Century practices. The 17th Century experienced a watershed where the printing press was the thing encroaching on earlier approaches to loving literature, which placed more value on circulating manuscripts among interested parties.

See Dr. Chorney's article Interactive Reading, Early Modern Texts and Hypertext: A Lesson from the Past available via the Academic Commons.
