Lizard needs a back rub.

t offers one hand, as the other is actually doing work that I get paid for

I'm also annoyed because I'm writing my goddamned paper about what makes fic so shiny-- that you're assuming authorative power over someone else's work. In coded academic language, of course, and I'm using Elizabeth Alexander, a poet, and the poem I wrote as fic for her poem, but it's the same ideas. And no, no, no article I've ever read addressed what I think are the most important issues raised by fic. I think it's doable, and it ought to be done, but I haven't seen it. That's because people are stupid.

Yeah. I'm really spiny today. Why do you ask?

t carefully avoids the spines

I love Steph.

Speaking of fic, I've finished all the A.J. Hall and the Tissue of Silver, and now I'm looking for more good Draco stuff. I don't want to dig undirected through the HP fan sites. Badly written teenagers in lust is not something I want to have stuck in my brain.

Check PolyRecs. We've got a couple Draco ones. Mostly Draco and Snape, I think. And...Resonant? posted a new one recently.

It's a dumb piece, but the writer's not a brilliant person, so.

I guess I'm just really in mourning that the sequel to Lust over Pendle isn't around yet. I really don't seen Draco/Snape--at least not in a good way.

And no, no, no article I've ever read addressed what I think are the most important issues raised by fic. I think it's doable, and it ought to be done, but I haven't seen it. That's because people are stupid.

This is a true thing, RL. There are important issues- like narrative authourity and the granting/not grating/abuse thereof- and maybe I should try and write about those things. But I can't be bothered, and I wouldn't do it very well anyway.

Is there a link to the PolyRec site? Searching Yahoo brought up some strange polymer sites that I don't think are right.
