小说作者和读者传统上通过第三方(例如出版商或代理商)的调解，在签售或作者朗读会等活动中互动。这些活动在实体空间(如书店或图书馆)举行，作者可以讨论他们的书，读者可以向他们提问。近年来，在线社交网站引入了一种新的环境，无需这种传统的中介，就可以进行直接的双向互动。我们对这一变化如何影响作者和读者，以及技术现在扮演的调解人的角色的理解目前有限。本文描述了对类型小说的六位作者和六位读者进行的定性访谈研究。研究显示，双方都不认为直接在线互动有很大好处--这一发现部分可以解释为物理场所和在线空间在支持互动方面的结构差异。我们利用空间和地点研究来发展对这一变化影响的人机界面视角。这篇文章有助于丰富对小说作者和读者互动的理解；特别是为什么他们不经常直接互动-或者希望这样做。我们还展示了空间和位置理论在理解区分作者和读者的边界方面的作用。
Fiction authors and readers have traditionally interacted through the mediation of a 3rd party (e.g. a publisher or agent), at events such as book signings or author readings. Held in physical spaces (e.g. bookshops or libraries), these events enable authors to discuss their book, and readers to ask them questions. In recent years, online social networking sites have introduced a new environment for direct, two-way interactions without this traditional mediation. Our understanding of how this change impacts authors and readers, and the role technology now plays as mediator, is currently limited. This paper describes a qualitative interview study held with six authors and six readers of Genre Fiction. The study revealed that neither party sees great benefit to interacting directly online - a finding partially explainable by the differences in how physical places and online spaces are structured to support their interactions. We drew on space and place research to develop an HCI perspective of the impact of this change. This paper contributes an enriched understanding of fiction author and reader interactions; in particular why they do not often interact directly - or wish to. We also demonstrate the usefulness of space and place theory in understanding the boundaries which divide author and reader.
