[Vwoolf] anyone out there working on/writing VW fan fiction?

Wed Mar 6 17:31:21 EST 2024

Hi, friends,

This is a useful page; are we talking about parallel fiction or one of the other categories listed at the bottom of the Wikipedia page?  I find myself increasingly generically confused; not at all an unpleasant state of mind.

Hi again, Leslie, and thanks.

I must say I have never given much thought to the genre quesion per se.  Two Seasons was the fruit of a personal near-obsession.  Following my first reading of To the Lighthouse decades ago, I felt what would become an abiding curiosity concerning Lily Briscoe's future.

After a long university career writing critically about literature and cinema, I at last found myself able to return in a different manner that that of the critic, allowing Lily and the remaining Ramsays and friends to grow and change, first five years after the events of To the Lighthouse ("Autumn") and then another five ("Spring").  For the new writer I myself had become, I adopted the very mild pseudonym of J.D. Engle (instead of John Engle).

Anyway, Leslie, while that perhaps doesn't help much, good luck with your research on the genre issue. I truly hope you enjoy Two Seasons and would love to hear your reactions.

All best,
John

I just ordered your book and look forward to reading it. Have you come up with ways to categorize such books? The field of fan fiction seems wide open sometimes, and other times quite specific.
I'm just beginning my inquiry.  Best, Leslie

Thank you for the suggestion--I'll check it out!
The terms in general seem slippery in print "fan fiction" especially--homage?

it doesn't have to be the internet kind--I'm also thinking of The Hours and other such books. I want to see if any of us are writing anything that could be considered fan fiction based on VW stories or novels . . . Thanks in advance!!
