Delivering these links a little late today. This week, whenever I wasn’t working or writing my new book, I was preparing to teach an Introduction to WordPress class. There’s never a dull moment around here, and I hope you’ll feel the same way about this week’s links:

• Aja and Gavia delivered the ultimate guide to fanfiction, not for you, but for mainstream publications that keep getting it wrong. Nod along while they drop some truth bombs about this oft misunderstood fan activity.

• Meet  Henry Thurlow, an American animator who got his dream job working on anime in Japan, only it’s not what it’s cracked up to be…
• Could an American Attack on Titan movie be in the works? Sony Pictures Entertainment has been buying up domains related to the anime.

• Academics weigh in on how Gamer Gate is making it harder to argue the importance of researching and preserving video games.

• In or around Washington DC? There are still a few hours left to pledge to Studio Cosplay, the district’s first cosplay makerspace. I pledged for a one-month membership, and I am going to 3D print everything.

• I wrote an article for Femsplain on working in tech and feeling underqualified—textbook Imposter Syndrome. You don’t have to be a woman to relate.

• Relatedly, want to be a tech writer, like me, or an Internet Culture writer, like I used to be? Both jobs are open at Gizmodo.

• I also wrote three reviews this week. Yowamushi Pedal was about butts, again, Gundam Build Fighters Try featured a legendary wall slam, and Kuroko’s Basketball was about feeling pressured and inadequate.

• Crunchyroll has a podcast now! Evan and Victoria are delightful.
