Thanks Katie and Am-Chau, that makes sense. Not sure what it stands for, but now I know what it means.
Some of the stories out there are just plain scary. Sigh.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Thrive to spite them
Chan is an anime term, like yaoi (which is male/male relationships). I think it's a Japanese word, but I'm not sure.
Bust had an article about women and anime this issue, it mostly talked about the writers and artists but fanfic and yaoi were mentioned.

Thanks Dana.
Now I can mainline the crack. I hope you're proud of yourself.

It's what I do.

In case anyone's interested, there's a reasonably sensible article about fanfic in The Herald (Scottish newspaper). Mostly HP, fairly balanced perspective, and doesn't mention slash at all.

There's an interesting poll and discussion about slash, and the definition thereof, up here: [link]

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
God, I'm so naturally conservative. Dammit, slash had a perfectly good definition! Come up with your own word!

Oh, goodness. Excerpts from yet a different LFN writer:
Nikita turned off the bathroom light and entered the bedroom. She was wearing the À la Vie! t-shirt. He knew she would be.
See, Roy Dupuis tends to write "A la vie" when signing autographs...no, I don't know what it's doing on a t-shirt.
She reached out her left hand tentatively and gently grasped his shaft. “It’s soft!” she said in surprise. She was referring to the texture, not the physical properties, because Petit Michel was quickly growing hard as a rock.
Petit Michel.
He pressed the head of his erection through the barrier to her womanhood. God, she was tight!
Nikita felt like a volcano ready to erupt. She’d read about people having orgasms, but were they supposed to be this intense? She felt like she was on the verge of falling, and she wanted to leap.

You know, I've gotta say, the immediate runup to orgasm is not a time when I personally am prone to the use of thoughtful metaphor. Or silly metaphor, for that matter.
