I owe considerable thanks to many people for comments on earlier versions of this article and on several conference presentations that took up its subject matter, including two ALWD Scholar’s Forums, the January 2011 AALS Meeting, and the 2011 Applied Storytelling Conference. But five people deserve special recognition. Enormous thank yous to Linda Berger, Linda Edwards, and Terry Phelps for exceptionally helpful comments and their own excellent scholarship on related topics; Ruth Anne Robbins for repeatedly encouraging me to put these ideas into a printed article; and Michael DeSanctis for reading many versions with an expert editorial eye remarkably well-versed in theory yet always attuned to practice.
