Summary
Ardith, Vedran, and Aleyn spend their first night together as a married triad. It's not a typical marriage, and it is far from a typical wedding night.
"We'll be out of here soon," she promised quietly.
Ardith couldn't know the panic the idea elicited in him – Vedran hadn't told her.

Summary
When he was younger, Vedran's father sent him to live in Ahkas. He did a lot of growing up.
"Your mystery man is out again," Merlyn drawled, leaning casually against the fountain.
"Where?" Vedran perked up. "What's he doing?"
"Up on that platform again, and I think he's just watching the girls, too." He flicked a finger discretely, but his cousin had already picked him out. At least Vedran didn't ask the usual questions - who was he? What was he doing up there? Why was he always wearing that same brown covering robe? And what was the little group of tiefling nomads doing in the city at all? Merlyn still didn't have the answers.

Summary
Okay, after a long delay (for which I apologize profusely), we are finally back with Episode 3. Hooray! In this episode, we follow on from last time with a discussion of what constitutes fanfiction and how it is best described and understood. Is there really a good metaphor that can encompass this whole crazy, multi-faceted world? Thus we tackle "Archontic Literature: A Definition, a History, and Several Theories of Fan Fiction" by Abigail Derecho. It is the first chapter in Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse's Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet: New Essays (2006). We hope you enjoy!

Title is totally a nod to the first Rambo movie, which, along with Tom Waits's Hell Broke Luce that kept popping up on my mp3 player, is what put this in my head. I hope it is the sort of thing you were looking for!
Thanks to Nary and Kitty for looking this over for me :)

Ficthropology Episode 2: Henry Jenkins - Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture by earis, Lukoni, Measured_Words, Nary

Summary
For our second episode, we introduce our fourth contributor, Earis, and spiral off on an involved discussion of Henry Jenkin's 1992 book Textual Poachers: Television Fans and Participatory Culture. This text is now twenty years old, but though it is dated, still contains some interesting insights into fandom, and seemed like a reasonable place for us to start delving into an exploration of academic works on fandoms. Please share this around if you're interested, and feel free to join our communities on either Livejournal or Dreamwidth to get regular updates. We have plans to start crossposting to Tumblr as well, and if anyone has suggestions on how to promote and disseminate this podcast, we would be pleased to hear about it!
