MANIFESTO FOR POSTMODERN FANDOM |
| Postmodern fandom is VITAL
and ALIVE and it recognises Doctor Who
as being VITAL and ALIVE.
It is a thumbs up to VERDIGRIS, THE HOLY TERROR, INTERFERENCE
and CAMPAIGN and a thumbs down to
THE APOCALYPSE ELEMENT, PARALLEL 59 and
INDEPENDENCE DAY. It is a FUCK YOU
to the orthodoxy of Who fandom, to the BLAND
and TRADITIONAL, to David Howe, to
DWM, to Gary Russell, to the DWAS, to Justin Richards and to Steve Cole. It
is a CELEBRATION of the NEW,
the INNOVATIVE and the
INTELLIGENT, of Lawrence Miles, of Tat Wood and of
Paul Magrs. It is ECLECTIC, its interests stretch
beyond other science fiction and fantasy. It is CULTURED
and can appreciate PROUST, KUBRICK and
STRAVINSKY as well as FLEMING,
SPIELBERG and JOHN WILLIAMS. It
understands how to use the NET as a
WEAPON against the mainstream. It's
DIVERSE and it's out there, it's QUEER
and it's STRAIGHT and it's in the
HEARTLANDS. It's ANGRY
and DISSATISFIED but it's starting to
find a VOICE again, though as soon as it starts
writing letters to DWM it'll be time to DESTROY it
and start all over again. It's about RANTING, SWEARING
and BEER. Join the REVOLUTION. Back to Ultra Violet index |
