Oh, you know what, I forgot to mention:

my Diversity in American Lit professor mentioned fanfiction the other day.

It was in the context of movie adaptation, and I really desperately wanted to sit there and discuss fanfiction online vs published fanfiction vs novelisations of blockbusters.

I didn't, because it really, you know, had nothing to do with what we were supposed to be learnig, but, really?

People who know what fanfiction is either are hardcore nerds themselves or at least are really good friends with really hardcore nerds.

So hearing him say that made me beam at him in inappropriate ways. He's really awesome in many ways, despite his weird selection of books and his terrible students I want to stab.

Yay for fanfiction nerdliness!

Fic=love.

And by the by, have you noticed that most published fanfic isn't actually very good? WTF? I can usually find better "novels" on-line.

oh that's so cool!

he secretly writes it. *nods*

my hubby mentions fanfic to his students sometimes and they're amazed that he knows about it. he doesn't say 'yeah, my wife is a devotee'....
