Legolas and Haldir, Sitting in a Tree: A Study of Erotic Fanfiction Based on the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien 2006 (English)Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year))Student thesis

Abstract [en]

This essay is a study in why erotic - and homoerotic fanfiction especially - has for long been denied the status of "literature" by critics. The topics dealt with are whether the status of slash fiction depends more on the gender and class of the writers than the quality of the works, how writers of slash are taking an active part in the art of creating rather than simply copying the works of others and, how J.R.R. Tolkien himself led on to homoerotic tensions in his works.
