Writers have always adapted to new technologies—from the invention of the typewriter to the rise of radio, TV, and the internet. Today, Margaret Atwood dabbles in digital publishing platforms; Paulo Coehlo is an active presence on Instagram; and Neil Gaiman posts regularly on Tumblr. Even Joyce Carol Oates has a (famously bizarre) Twitter presence. Writers’ digital taste tends to correspond with their literary aesthetics.

Between the intense sentiment of Directioners and the velocity of social media, the result is a fan base that excoriates would-be fans for the merest of slights or for not knowing the most trivial of facts—all in a frantic attempt to keep One Direction for themselves as they become an arena-sized pop juggernaut.
