I'm getting a lot of attention for some fic I wrote, like, 10 years ago. Maybe there's not very much Mary and Rhoda fic and people want it? Because since it's MMOM, I've gotten one or two kudos every May since, but that doesn't account for summer love in July and August. I'm pretty impressed that I can write Phyllis, though. [link]
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Brava, erikaj. I am always mildly amused at kudos for things I wrote 15 years ago in a fandom nobody pays attention to anymore. I assume there was some random Tumblr recommendation, maybe?

Maybe. Somebody told their friends, somehow. And I think, for a lot of women, Phyllis, with that combination of high-flown bitchiness and insecurity, is something of a sitcom version of a Jungian shadow.

Yes, it’s like how every now and then I get a random kudo for a Farscape fic I wrote back when it was still on the air. I mean, it’s nice, but what paths brought you to my door, oh dear reader?

Maybe slightly off-topic, but "Wired"(via Mastodon) talks about people using fandom in political life...I may finally be an OG at something. [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I don't have the link, but there's one where Isaac Chotiner interviews someone from Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, which you have to be a very specific type of Online to enjoy. It's pretty funny.
