		<description>This really makes a lot of sense- it&#039;s definitely what you see in author/fan interactions in fandoms where fans are creating their own stuff based off of their source material, and can then be both author and fan.

Also, me being one of those stick-to-their-network types, it never would have occurred to me that Myspace would function the same way as Livejournal for author/fan connection. Livejournal is where I&#039;ve spotted the most authors so far, likely because that&#039;s where I normally hang out. I wonder if authors are using other networks as well- not to the same extent, obviously, but still. And I also wonder if there&#039;s a cluster of authors around or in specific networks, i.e. if authors of certain genres prefer to hang out of WebCommunity1 instead of WebComm2, since that&#039;s where their fans tend to hang out.</description>
