Do fans have a phrase or word that describes these clueless press articles meant to amaze the clueless, the “oh my goodness, can you believe there is such a thing as fan fiction out there?” sort of thing journalists have been writing for decades? It seems like these articles get a little more sophisticated centimeter by centimeter (and there are a handful of good ones out there), but they mainly are hammered out via template. There must be a fannish word for these wide-eyed, look-it things.
