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

What is Wattpad, by the way, when it's at home? Or, I guess, more importantly--how does that rate a mention and AO3 doesn't? Which fandoms hang out there?

Because books.

I've never heard of Wattpad.

I do love how the WSJ loves to cover stories that are old as the hills, and come off pleased as punch that they've "discovered a new trend".

Oh, man. I just checked the fanfic link on Wattpad, and it seems to be primarily het One Direction RPF. Which? Of course it exists. I just had no idea where it lived.

Even his whines are better than mine. But I did make deadline while literally peeing once.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I was wondering, is anyone here an SFWA member? I've just found out that I qualify-- apparently they added Daily Science Fiction as a qualifying market sometime since I last checked. So now I *can* join, but I'm not really clear on whether I *should*.

not your mom's socks.

I am, Holli - insent.
