Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Did Cassandra Clare basically do the same thing? I mean write an au fic and then "file off the numbers" and publish it.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Is Cassandra Claire also the person who plagiarized a Draco/Harry fic from a BtVS fic, and other sources, or am I getting mixed up?

I'm pretty sure that's her, only she said she wasn't plagiarizing, I think she either claimed she forgot where she heard the quotes or it was a "game"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fanwank on Cassandra Claire.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just found someone's research paper on fan campaigns, heavily quoting Buffistas.org posts from Joss, Tim, Me, and misquoting Kristen as Kiba, over and over.

The student is now at Syracuse, writing a dissertation on Joss Whedon's fandoms.

The paper is from 2007, but I really can't stop this horrible itch I have to correct her citation.

Should I ignore it, or email her?

I think you should email her.

Link to it because we're very curious? And definitely email her--how freaking hard is it to properly identify a poster when you can copy and paste!!

It looks like undergrad work. Boy, was I a BIG JERK. Well, I still am, little bit.

But there's a whole quote of me yelling at fans to not send apples to Fox so we won't "look like asswipes."

This is my contribution to academia, ladies and gents!

In fact, whenever Kristen wants me to walk away from a fandom kerfuffle before I go fanwank, she reminds me of the apples.

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

My sister's student continues to insist that my sister is gay and that they should hook up. My sister reminds her that a) she's straight and b) she's her teacher, but the student says none of that matters. At this point, isn't c) obvious? That my sister doesn't want to sleep with her? Why does this take emails and an hour of conversation? Seriously?

That's so incredibly rude. And on top of this, the student thought my sister was mean before she even started coming on to her.
