[edit] Fan Reactions
During the mid- 1990s, "Budget cuts caused Phelps to institute a serial killer storyline, culminating in the gruesome murder of another fan favorite, Frankie (Alice Barrett). The story had actually called for Donna to be offed, but massive fan protest caused Phelps to rewrite the episodes. Phelps decided to then kill off either Frankie or Paulina, and when a focus group responded lukewarm to Frankie but warmer to Paulina, Phelps gave the greenlight to axe Frankie. However, this caused another massive rampage of upset protest from loyal viewers of the show and fans of Frankie, and Phelps quickly asked then-head writer Margaret DePriest to re-write Frankie's exit so that the character would at least still live. DePriest, eager to satisfy her wish to see Cass return to his former rogue ways, vehemently refused and left Frankie's death as written." [12]

[edit] Fan Fiction
Soap opera fan fiction seems to be the tiny fan fiction community that the rest of fandom forgot. There have been stories of this material floating around for years, as drawerfic and published to the Internet. This community just doesn't have a history that seemed to intersect with a lot of fandom. By 1999, there was activity that could be documented to show that the fandom was out there. By this time, Another World fan fiction was being written and published on rec.arts.tv.soaps.misc. It was also being archived at the website, Gramercy Park.
