I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but there is an article about fan fiction and how it can help train a writers to write their own material in the November issue of Writer's Digest.

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
Why? What's going on?

There was apparently some conversation on the posting board at JC's official site, where a brilliant person asked if JC had ever heard of slash and, if not, recommended a certain story. And then posted the url of where he could find it. LJ is already in an uproar as one of JC's friend is a very active moderator there and, in fact, was in that thread shortly before the information was posted.
Paranoia. It's a good midafternoon snack.

I swear, I WILL kick and scream if I read the phrase, "I am such a woman" in another slash fiction!
However, I will applaud of the other guy says, "Yeah."

Oh, don't be silly! I'm sure JC will love it, and send polite, well-written, perceptive feedback, with suggestions as to his favorite positions.
What?

I remember back in 2001 when I first got on LJ, one of my first substantive posts was a long thing about how if fic ever blew up bigtime, it was gonna be because of RPS. Which at the time meant popslash -- LotRips wasn't even a whisper on the horizon, IIRC.
Good luck, Kristen. t swats the rear of her horse to go faster
