Fanfics data set

Nele — Tue, 07/28/2009 - 16:54

This data set contains information about 100 English-language Snape-centric Harry Potter fanfics that I plan to compare and contrast with 100 Japanese dojinshi. For a better overview, take a look at the dataset in full screen. At present, there's only a list of basic information about the samples, main pairings, and which character is top or bottom. I'll start adding info about various other narrative and visual elements from the samples as the project progresses.

Important notes: All data sets on this site are a work in progress; they are definitely incomplete and may contain factual errors. The links may take you to pages that contain triggering and/or adult material or are NSFW. If you think I've misrepresented or misinterpreted something, please let me know and I'll correct the information right away. If you're the author of a fanfic/dojinshi included in the data sets and you feel this is cruel and unusual abuse of your work, or you just don't want it mentioned anywhere for whatever reason, drop me a note and I'll remove identifying information from the entry (author name, title, link, summary) or remove the entry from the list entirely.

On this site

Talk about the cultural economics of fanwork, data gathering and comparative research between Japanese dojinshi and English-language fanwork, and legal, economic and cultural policy issues related to dojinshi and to fanwork in general. This site is a personal research playground cum treasure hoard, and also a resource in the making about the function of dojinshi in Japan's system of cultural production. Warning: mature or triggering content in fanwork may be discussed here. See research ethics.
