I think both the objection is about characters conscious of fanfic within pieces of fanfic.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

You mean we're not mainstream? I'm crushed. Everyone I know understands what "Mary Sue" means.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I use the term Mary Sue. Of course, I have to explain what it means, but ....
Actually, there is only one piece of fic about characters writing fic; it was in Stargate, by rather campy authors. There's one episodes where the characters discover a show has been made about their adventures, and two of the characters beging to write fanfiction, at first as a joke, about it. It was well formatted, pretty funny. Fairly true to the characters, as well. I might see if I can dredge up a link to show the class.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not counting the other pieces of fic about characters writing fic, right?

Typo or missing word, s.a.? Because I'm fairly sure I can come up several hundred off-hand, without really trying.

Er. There was supposed to be a bit about how that fanfiction was the only one of the type that I liked. I think it's the whole two hours of sleep that's ferwonking my brain.

So Nutty, are you still willing to be my beta? I have a chunk done and it might be helpful to have someone else look at it.

Possibly tonight, if you kick my ass hard enough. For tomorrow I see Secretary with Ellen and then my brain will be full of James Spader.

Thanks, Nutty. Of course, now I am nervous about giving it to someone else to read, but that's my neurosis. I'm fairly sure it's lame, you see. Ah well.
