erastesCan't come fast enough. That puff of Erastes shape dust in the distance will
be all they can find of me in 15 minutes time. Terrible to wish 8 hours of
your life away EVERY DAY.
Miss Snark has linked to a Wall street Journal article about fanfiction.
Honestly, you'd think it had just been invented with Potterdom. I know that
I only discovered it 3 years ago, but if I was like some of my flist who had
been doing it for 20 odd years, I'd be a bit pissed off that world-wide
acclaim was given to "The Shoebox Fungus" which - apart from the vaguely
innovative idea of the scribbles, (and the art, some of which was lovely)
was nothing spread thin, I have to be frank. Yes! Contraversial opinion,
but... *peers at name on journal * I do believe that it's my journal, and
therefore my opinion. I don't think the writing was anything to write home
about, though.
Anyway, someone needs to point out to all these Journos that fanfiction has
been around since the Bible, if not earlier. What? The Bible's not
fanfic? Four different versions of Jesus' exploits? (and a lot more
versions which never got published...)
Unproductive weekend! Other than a spork of the "Peter Pettigrew" scene in
POA, I achieved nothing. Nada, zilch, zippo. However, I've been bunnied for
the Gay Men's Tales of Lit and Lust, which is right up my alley (and
hopefully EVREMONDE's - kicks her) so I'm doing a Oxford Graduate story for
that, and have done about 200 words. So far there's more Lit than Lust.
I have puppy pic spam. Will share tonight.

Date: 2006-09-18 06:37 pm (UTC)I am giggling over the apostles as fanficcers.
Matthew: OMG Jesus/Judas=OTP 4Evah!!!
Mark: STFU. Jesus/Peter pwns!
Luke: U r both horz. Jesus/Mary Magdalene is cannon! (he's obviously read the DVC)
John: (ignores them, writes bizarre Jesus/Holy Spirit wank porn.)
I've now probably offended half your flist. Oh well.

That's the funniest thing I've seen in weeks.
*is crying with laughter*

Date: 2006-09-18 06:57 pm (UTC)I suspect you're right about wank. All that 'my god is better than your gods' stuff in the OT, I could see lots of that ending up on fandom_wank.
You have a shiny new layout! I didn't notice before!
