Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

And for those of you who are reading along, Minnow just posted another piece of those Things Left Undone stories, set after Not Fade Away. This one's a heartbreaker.

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

This one's a heartbreaker.

As opposed to?

I just read them all in one batch, and I shouldn't have.

Dammit.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Dana, I got your email, and if I don't get comments to you tonight, I should have them back to you sometime tomorrow.

Damn, but those post-finale snippets are heartbreaking.

JKR approves of fanfic, but not the dirty stuff. A few notable quotes from the article:

TV programmes such as Doctor Who, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Star Trek are among the most popular sources of fan fiction.

Dr. Who?

The spokesman at the literary agency stressed that copyright in the Harry Potter series and characters remained with Rowling and trademarks with Warner Bros.

"Hopefully the fan fiction will help people become writers in their own right," he said.

Um, because ficcers aren't writers. We're merely monkeys with typewriters.

t sigh

It's too early to snarl, yet, I haven't had my first cup of tea. And what's worse, we're out of milk for said tea. My life, she is a difficult one.

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

Eh, whatever.

Hey, did you read the post RE the HP actors that just got linked to off of metablog? Very odd. You know, when I say something like "wow, X is hot" I mean, er, that I think they're hot. That seems fairly straightforward. But apparently there are vast numbers of people who don't mean any such thing.
