I've been involved in fandom for a long time, and being involved in fandom, you get used to not telling anyone you're involved in fandom. (Yes, I know what it sounds like.) I did a mock up of a fanfiction related program and did some research about fanfiction in the library.
It's actually being used! By a lot of places! I've been saying for years that it's a great way to develop writing skills and meet people with similar interests, so I was happy to see that librarians are on board.
Teens are already doing it; it's the smart thing to learn about it and understand it, and even smarter to learn about the issues surrounding it, especially copyright issues, which librarians should know anyway.
Anyway, I found it really encouraging to see how many fanfiction programs there were.
