Thanks, RL. And Star Wars was your first fandom?
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

No, that's what makes it funny. I've still never watched the Star Wars movies-- I came to the SA as though it were original collaborative fiction, dizzyingly organized and controlled and bitingly strangely reflexive and self-parodic. It was shiny.
Then again, it wasn't a very strange-feeling position for me, because I'm very used to reading things and all of their references to other texts I don't know about, because I am, or at least was, what has been fondly called a pop culture nun.

Ah. I'm like that with some things- I still haven't watched any X-files at all, and see yesterday's natter re. my knowledge of Jenifer Lopaz (none). And I read Star wars original Triology stuff with pleasure, despite not having see those movies, either. Phantom Meance is the only one I've seen.

Okay, Hec. Really, I think that last post confirms that you ARE a tease.
Damn! You edited too quickly for me to snark!

Well, that was annoying.

What annoyed you so much, RL? I stayed calm.

I think it was the anal sex and cries of joy with the Kirk/Spock thing. That's where I stopped reading.

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't satisfying, and I'm always annoyed at the "by googling a phrase you now know about ALL the fandom" or "I talked to one person, and one group of people, and now I can speak authoritatively about everything wrt fic" methods of going about things. And more things; but I'm also just generally irritable, because my paper isn't going quite as well as I'd like, and my back hurts.
