Timelies all!
Back to dance practice tonight. First time in a month and a half.(combination of Pennsic, vacation and tiredness)
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Today at work my colleague was reading Buffy fanfic, printed, 3-hole punched, and placed in a 3-ring binder, while staffing the phone line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, did you guys see today's Dear Prudence? Some parent is horrified that their 13-year-old daughter is reading smutty boy band fanfic, and Prudie says, "I can't imagine the authors thought their target audience was teenage girls." Um.....

Oh, Prudie. So out of touch.

My colleague is in her 50s! (Also, from what I could see, and I could see enough to see it was Buffy fanfic, not smutty.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I haven't regularly read fic in years, and yet my first thought was "hmm, what fic? anyone we know?"

I had a regular reader who mentioned that she printed out my fics so she could read them leisurely. I loved the idea of volumes of my stories actually on paper, on a shelf somewhere.

The software install that was on and then off and then on again is off again. I am completely over it and I'm afraid it is showing.
And I have to take another use it or lose it vacation day.AHAHAHAHA.

Oh, me too, Connie.
One of the nicest presents I ever got was a big pile of my Farscape stories, all printed out & bound together. And I love hearing that people will reread my Narnia novel on a regular basis. My words are part of their lives! How cool is that?
