The academic book I'm reading on Star Wars fandom just referenced maygra.

I fucking love fandom so hard. It just takes the occassional prodding to remind me just why and how much.

But if it was published 4 years ago, and nothing's happened, I'm guessing it's nothing to worry about.

I don't think anything has ever happened to anyone who got mentioned in a research paper or book. Funnily enough, I can't remember a single incident in which Lucas sent out a C&D to a fan fiction author. Fan films are sanctioned, they even sponsor them, but other copyright infringements, especially merchandise and official novels - they're very hard on them. I think they get the difference between "written for fun" and "trying to sell it via Amazon".

and how cool - I didn't recognize you from TPM fandom - and I didn't recall your name from the "Using the Force" book, but anyway: why didn't I check you were in TPM fandom back in the days? I need to check out your stories, see if I've read them.
