Artigo recente do mit tech review sobre fanfic, com números impressionantes. Lembro a ladainha sobre os supostos malefícios da internet na habilidade de expressão escrita de uma geração. Como sempre, a realidade desmente exercícios de ORUTUFlogia; e a educação formal já é quase uma espécie em extinção.

"In the past 20 years, over 60 billion words of fan fiction have been written and posted on Fanfiction.net, the world’s largest repository. The site’s 10 million members have collectively authored a corpus about three-quarters the size of the entirety of published English-language fiction. This outpouring of creativity has been generated primarily by young people, with a median age of 15 ½."

Teachers beware.
“I think if a teacher had simply red-penciled my childish scribbles, I might have been so discouraged as to never write again.”
