Her essays on women in television and music (along with entries on epic fantasy, Neil Gaiman, and Storm Constantine) appear in WOMEN IN SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY: AN ENCYCLOPEDIA, and “Cunning Linguists: The Bisexual Erotics of Words/Silence/Flesh,” an article she co-wrote with Eden Lackner and Robin Reid, appears in FAN FICTION AND FAN COMMUNITIES IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET.
