Acacia Group's 2006 Conference: Politicizing texts
The Acacia Group of California State University, Fullerton is seeking papers
for our 2006 conference to be held February 17 and 18, 2006. We are
interested in papers/presentations for the following suggested panel:
Slash Fan Fiction
Slash fan fiction is one of the most popular forms of fan fiction on the
Internet. Beginning with stories featuring the pairing of Kirk and Spock from
Star Trek in the 1970s and exploding into numerous stories based in, but not
limited to, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Star Wars, slash fan fiction
takes reader-response theory into creative praxis as fans rewrite fiction.

Sage of Consciousness E-zine
ISSN 1555-192X
An international online thematic ezine and journal created by a volunteer
group of writers and artists.

Theme for Volume 2 Issue 1:
Dialogue: Musical Voices

This theme features dialogue in all its colorful and musical forms. This is
not a stringent theme that blasts you with phonetic demands or clarion
stipulations that stagnate the creative flow of words, shots, or paint.

Free and open like the vastness of the blue above. Write, design, snap,
brush onto canvass what your creative mind decides in whispers into the left
or right ear saying what dialogue means to you in your deepest
thoughts-tapping ever so gently onto your soul.

How does setting function in art? Is a city, region, building, room, meadow,

marker of genre, an economic/cultural boundary, or other function/sign? How does
the space shape the work? What effect/affect does such use create?
