Fandom Oral History Interviews At Escapade 

Franzi will be doing oral interviews again at Escapade, the slash fan run conventeion held in Los Angeles, CA next week.

She notes: “Time will be really tight but if you’d like to be interviewed, email me!   And even if we do not connect ahead of time, come find me at the con! Especially if you stay up late or can do an interview at a weird time. …These are audio recorded interviews, so we need a quiet place and ~40 minutes. The recordings go to the U of Iowa library, among other places…If you’ve ever been annoyed at how biased fandom study books like Enterprising Women can be, come help me build a body of primary source for posterity. Zine publishers, readers with opinions, fan artists who got into fandom through Tumblr yesterday: if you’ve got something to say, I will interview you." 
You can reach Franzi at fdickson @ ix.netcom.com

And last, even if you don’t think you’ll have time at Escapade but would
like to be interviewed, contact oralhistoryfandom @ gmail.com and we’ll add your name to the "interested list”. We’re also looking for people to conduct phone interviews (Easy to do! Right from your very home! Cats not included) and to help transcribe interviews. )
