PROPOSED TOPICS

If any kind soul would like to take on any of these topics...please do! There is a place waiting for them to be published!

Pornography vs. Erotica.

Proposal: ÜberXena was borne from Alt. XENA fan fic, which stereotypically includes a money shot or two. Über has adapted this idiosyncrasy and then some. Is it erotica? Is it pornography? Does the genre lose its essence if the "adult" aspect of Über is removed?

Gratuitious and non-Gratuitous Violence in Über Fan Fiction.

Proposal: As to the use of violence, where should one draw the lines, if at all, in ÜberXena?

The Lesbian Influence on ÜberXena.

Proposal: Is Über essentially a sub-genre of lesbian fiction?

The First-Time Alt. Story and ÜberXena.

Proposal: Is ÜberXena just a clever way to keep on writing "First Time" Alt. Stories?

The Slash Tradition and ÜberXena.

Proposal: Is ÜberXena just a new manifestation of slash fiction (same old, same old), or does it offer something new to media fandom fan fiction?

Proposal: How and why the word was coined and the stories that inspired it; the early trends and its current status.
