Just skipping to the end to tell Deena that I am sure that she will LOVE Herself's fic. I almost have no words for how much I love it. Since I rarely read books now, she is pretty much my favorite author, fanfic or not.
Buckle up, kids! Daddy's puttin' the hammer down.

Thanks, Susan. It's nice to know I'm not nuts.

Thanks, Sophia! I probably won't get to do any reading until Tuesday when Greg goes back to work. Having him home is nice, but totally messes up my playtime *g*.

Always Anti-fascist!
I loved it completely, but I'm a big fan of Herself.

I'm a big fan of Herself's, too--Bittersweets may be my all-time favorite fanfic series, though Anna S's Season Noir is neck-and-neck with it. But I felt like in this case she was going for HSQ, but my reaction was, "But...but...that's not fair!"

Same here. And it made me start thinking about the logic of the story as a whole -- if Spike can't leave the island, why does he have a passport, and how did he get it? which is never a good thing.
Interestingly, I don't think my reaction would have been quite as strong if Spike had just died upon leaving the island. Killing him would have felt "fair" to me -- sad, but fair. The actual ending just made me angry.
But in general, I really like the way Herself writes, and loved the "Bittersweets" series. She does the best Spike voice of anyone, pretty much.

Courtesy of a link on LJ, here's a legal article about fanfiction. Long, fairly interesting, not written in dense legalese.

I have to ask. Can anyone think of any reason why someone would write the phrase "tumbling down the rabbit hole of love" when writing smut? And write it earnestly, thinking it was sexy?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
They think bunnies are really, really hot.

Frankly, I think this is how Anya picked up that pesky rabbit phobia.
