Title Fan culture and co-creation Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet ABC Radio National Media type Radio Duration/Length/Size 29 minutes Country/Territory Australia Date 5/12/15 Description Take a healthy dose of obsessive fan culture, throw in a whole array of digital production tools, add a writer/producer who's happy to share, mash it all together, and you’ve got the makings of a nice piece of co-creation.
Fans have long had a role in influencing and in some cases helping to shape the works of popular culture they adore. But when they get restless in the modern age, they now have the resources to take a piece of fiction and make it their own.
Some content producers find that assertive approach threatening. But others, particularly in the gaming sector, have begun to embrace it.
So, when does co-creation become labour exploitation? And how does a professional writer reshape the creative process to get the best out of his/her fans, while still maintaining a veneer of sanity?Producer/Author Karin Zsivanovits URL https://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/futuretense/co-creating/6987206 Persons Scott Knight
