The Stargate Wiki is a good example of how fan communities interpret and relate to the objects of their affection. Wikis are collaboratively written websites; the Stargate Wiki is a community run project to create a comprehensive encyclopedia of the Stargate universe. It includes complete episode guides for all four TV series and summaries of the movies in the franchise. Beyond simple summary, it includes a great deal of synthesis - there are pages on diegetic locations, organizations and technologies. Since the creation of these synthesized pages involves much more interpretation, I'll focus on them over the synopses.

The page on stargates, the central plot generator of the series, brings together information from a huge number of episodes and one movie. It is approximately 6800 words. This page in particular and the wiki as a whole are examples of something that was brought up in the "Interactive Audiences" reading - series have gotten very complex and fan communities are the only way to fully understand and appreciate them. No single amateur could possibly have written the article on stargates or the wiki as a whole, but because of collective effort enabled by information technology the community's members and uninvolved spectators gain a better understanding of the material.

As far as interpretation is concerned, the wiki is quite dry. There are no outlandish theories here, no "I think this episode is a parable about the war on terror". Consequently, there isn't very much conflict over the interpretations. The discussion in "Interactive Audiences" about forces towards the disintegration of fan communities - disagreements over interpretation and moral standards for fan-made derivative works - does not apply to the Stargate Wiki because the interpretation is so dry and because fanfiction is not a part of the site.

I've run out of time and things to say. Will revise.
