This is a helpful extract from the Guardian article mentioned above:
Quote:
On Friday the Los Angeles Times - an unwieldy broadsheet newspaper - launched its "wikitorial", an interactive device allowing readers to contribute to and rewrite its editorial column...
The wikitorial took its lead from the website wikipedia.org, an encyclopaedia on the internet written by volunteers. The name comes from the Hawaiian term "wiki wiki", meaning quick or informal.

There's also a cerocwiki on the CMJ website. A wiki is a site which allows users to create content and edit existing content written by other people.
'Fanfic' is a contraction of fan fiction - basically where fans of particular films, TV programmes and even books write and publish on the internet their own stories using the characters from the film, TV programme, etc.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I haven't quite got it right
