Jenkins, Henry. Textual Poachers: Television Fans & Participatory Culture. NY: Routledge, 1992.
Many public libraries contributed to my research with pages that have since vanished. Stephen Colbert claims librarians are hiding something. He might very well think that, but I couldn’t possibly comment. Thank you, hard-working colleagues.
Two fan-created sites that are still in existence were profoundly useful:
Republic of Pemberley http://www.pemberley.com/index.html
Sherlock Holmes Pastiche Characters http://www.schoolandholmes.com/index.html
My research would not have been possible without my library’s access to Google, WorldCat, and Books in Print.

Notes for the Annotations:
To read spoilers, highlight the text between [spoiler] and [/spolier].
The list of titles will change as more books are published, or as I eliminate titles that seemed to fit but turned out not to.
Crossovers appear under the names of both original authors. If more than 2 texts were crossed, I put the fan fic title under Various.
I often switch to initials for characters after using their names once.
As I read through my list of titles, I discovered a lot about myself as a reader.
My reading philosophy is this:

Life is too short to read present tense and/or pretentious pomo wankery.

Dialect that looks like a bag of apostrophes spilled onto the page is not worth the time it takes to translate it.

I have zero tolerance for Holmes stories that treat Watson shabbily.

Like the Lunts, I can bought but I can’t be bored.

Abbreviations and other terms in the annotations:
Meta: Usually this means that a passage in the book connects the original fictional narrative to its own real-life construction, or a winking reference to the real-life author of the original.
Mary Sue: A character who is perfect in everyway, usually loved by the hero, and often gives the impression of being an authorial avatar.
MSS: manuscript
OC: Original Character
Pastiche opening or pastiche intro: Refers to a common device in Holmes's stories that explains how the author came into possession of the manuscript.
POV: Point of View
RP: Real Person/People
JtR: Jack the Ripper. Yes, he is in enough PFF to have his own abbreviation
GRoS: Giant Rat of Sumatra. Ditto.
