Evaluating fan fiction metadata for preservation use

Abstract

ABSTRACT The preservation of ergodic digital artifacts, such as videogames, is a complex and uncertain archival task. This study examines how fan fiction metadata can facilitate the preservation of digital experiences. Based on a preliminary assessment of fan fiction associated with the videogame Mass Effect , collections of fan fiction metadata constitute a promising resource to identify and document player experiences, particularly those involving game characters and their relationships.
