Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

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

How would you feel if somebody wrote fanfic about your story? 1. Like Norma Rae."They like me...they really like me." 2. Possibly weirded out. "Um, ok, when I made those guys *partners*, I wasn't really thinking that...wacky slashers!" 3. Possibly aroused.

Exactly! If someone wrote fic for something I wrote, I'd throw cartwheels. OMG I've made the big time!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

But would that still be true if the fan fic were by, say, the infamous Nikita Writer?

No, but I hope I'd still have my sense of humor.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'd be all, OMGSQUEE! I have a fan! Of course I know not of this Nikita Writer of whom you speak.

glllrg. The first draft of my Yuletide story has been sent off to my beta readers. I keep thinking I should feel more accomplished and less panicked than I do right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It was good!
