One time I meant to write this horror-comedy murder story for South Park Big Bang in 2015 but it never worked out but I had made this playlist for it anyway and it’s still good. Works out of fandom as well.

Talkback Culture: A Transformative Work
Description: An analytical essay on fanfiction and the culture surrounding its existence.
October 2024: This was written prior to Rowling’s public dedication to being a TERF. I actively oppose this, and no longer engage with her work or anything related to it.
Regardless, I have not modified this essay because it is still reflective of my authentic feelings at the time. Think of it like a time capsule, or a transformative work in itself. Sometimes the things that meant so much to us in the past become dead to us in the future. But that doesn’t contradict the meaning it used to give us, nor should our past be the source of any shame.
Though my beliefs are ever changing, this essay is representative of some beliefs I had at the time; I did some minor editorializing to make them come off a little less judgmental to a degree I’m comfortable with still sharing. But despite the aspects of this essay I don’t stand by anymore, I feel like the thesis is still valuable and important, and remains to reflect my overall opinion on transformative culture.
