"Ross's stance is academic, but she also considers the stance of fans, producers, creators and marketers. Together, these voices combine to create a new understanding of the connectedness of all parties in the process of telling stories, both authorised and unauthorised." (Science Fiction Film and Television, July 2010) "Ross provides a valuable resource on the emerging field of interactive television and its relationship to fandom, viral marketing, tele-participation, and the Internet. The book illustrates how little research has yet been done on the complex relationship between television fans and Web discourse about popular shows." (CHOICE)
