Dalsgaard [...] investigates the practices of romance fiction writers and readers on the net through the lense [sic] of late capitalist marketing strategies and ideologies which seek to market products as goods designed by the customer rather than as prefabricated objects: romance sites, she contends, and the marketing of toys for children have a lot more in common than one might suppose."]
