While doing some research for my dissertation (for a chapter on a student-made, feature-length, modern adaptation of Othello), I ran across a book called Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind the Camera by Clive Young (New York: Continuum, 2008 ).
It's a fascinating book about fan films, tracing their history back at least as far as a town that (perhaps knowingly) participated in the creation of a fake Our Gang movie made by two con men in 1926, right up through more modern works like the Pink Five films, Troops, Sandy Collora's Batman: Dead End and World's Finest, and Star Trek New Voyages/Star Trek Phase II (which has its obvious fanedit connection through Jack Marshall).
Towards the end of the book, on page 259, Young also mentions fanedits, describing them as a distinct form of fan film. Judging from the particular edits he cites, it seems likely that he's spent at least some time on fanedit.org (and perhaps he's here now?).
He references (but does not refer to by name) Jack Marshall's Star Trek Phase II: In Thy Image, killbillme's Cast Away Remixed by Jorge, boon's 13 to 30 Extraflirty, and ADigitalMan's Love Actually: Bloated and Flatulent Extended Edition. He also refers to "numerous versions of The Phantom Menace that hack out the dreaded Jar-Jar Binks."
So take a bow, guys; you've crossed over into print! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:
