"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, again, dear. I've made several attempts to suck my non-Buffy-lovin', but-still-very-Buffista-like friend into reading fanfic to no avail. She looked at a few things, but nothing particularly appealed to her. Eventually, almost on a whim, I pointed her to Calico's LotRips.

She is now mainlining LotR RPS, reading interviews with the actors, knows an extraordinary amount about them all and has reached a level of fannish devotion roughly parallel to my own Buffy and/or Smallville obsessions.

I'm torn between feeling guilty and feeling triumphant. I think I may have broken her.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Feel triumphant! Feel triumphant!

Well, I'm torn. I love that she's become a fan geek overnight and is relating everything in her life to her fandom of choice. But I'm rather bemused by it, because it's not my fandom of choice and I do have issues with it. Big, fat, hypocritical issues.

eta But it means she's discovering the Cassandra Claire diaries afresh - I did read them to her over the 'phone a year ago, but now she's a LotR fangeek and she's in love with the Very Secret Diaries too. So that's all nice. And we can be geekily obsessed about LotR together. I read her The Choices of Master Samwise and the little section immediately after it from RotK over the 'phone the other night (although there were pauses for me to stop crying and pull myself together a couple of times), and I'm really enjoying having a RL friend whom I love & who gets some of my stuff. It's cool. I'm trying to tempt her into getting an LJ...

I've got complicated, knotted issues with it that basically end up with "if that's what you wanna do, go have fun; just don't make me read it"....

Thanks for all the fish.

Oooh, scary. Do you think that my stories are condusive to this sort of thing? They tend to be character studies, not much for plots.

I think so.

Wow... Maybe I'll try it. I'd like to stretch myself, universe-wise, but I wonder if I can fake non-fandoms.

I'm waffling in between "intrigued" and "flailing neurotically".

Waitress, I think shrift needs more time before she orders, but I'll have waffles.
