Together, these voicescombine to create a new understanding of the connectedness of allparties in the process of telling stories, both authorised andunauthorised."

"Ross provides a valuable resource on the emerging field ofinteractive television and its relationship to fandom, viralmarketing, tele-participation, and the Internet. The bookillustrates how little research has yet been done on the complexrelationship between television fans and Web discourse aboutpopular shows." ( CHOICE )
