Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
The punchline to the joke is that the people at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books have caught the author plagiarizing various research articles about Native American culture, pretty much dropping passages wholesale into her books.
Which probably proves that it's not BNW, since I doubt she ever did any research.
What amuses me is that one of the articles she apparently plagiarized was about ferrets. Ferrets.
Not just any ferrets, Anne, Black-Footed Ferrets.
Endangered black-footed ferrets, no less.
This might be my favorite Yuletide story this year: [link]
Because it's perfect Max Headroom, perfect voices and a plot that's all commentary on vidding and corporate ownership of the media.
... well, okay, it's also Edison/Bryce, but it's not explicit, and the story does in fact acknowledge the age issue. Still, you could read 3/4 of the way through the story and get most of the good stuff.
It's really well done.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get over the Edison/Bryce.
but your avocado may vary.They are words, but I don't quite understand them in this order.
Endangered black-footed ferrets, no less.I should have realized, when I was reading this story earlier, that we'd have the best commentary on it.
Writing your own stuff is harder, JZ. Especially in a genre not replete with throbbing members and stuff.
Speaking of which - am I the only person that didn't know some dickhead had set up his own journal and been posting Thamiris's posts and pretending they were his? And her fucking bio? And even stealing comments she'd written to other people and using them to comment on other people's journals? I mean - what the fucking fuck?
This I found profoundly offensive. I'm delighted to hear his ass got canned in the end, but I still want to drop a tonne of bricks on his head. Jackass.
On a much cheerier note, though - holy crap, I cannot adequately express my love of Audiofic. All of you should be out there recording audiofic right now! Yes! So that I can listen to it! Yes!
Fay, some lovely soul (circadienne, who wrote that awesome Lewis & Clark story for Yuletide) recorded my latest SPN story & it's up on Audiofic. I can barely express how awesome it is to have an ebook of my own story on my iPod, particularly one read with a Kansas accent. So. Very. Cool.
Fanfuckingtastic! Is it to be found over at General Jinjurly's site? For it must be mine!
