This is what fanfic is all about

Theresa Nielsen-Hayden on fanfiction. Word, girl.

In other news, am horribly frustrated and generally growling at people. Hence, meme from gmth:

Pretend for a minute that the only contact you have ever had with me is through my fic. We've never exchanged LJ comments or emails, never hung out in chat or on YM, never talked on the phone or met each other at a con, none of that stuff. The only thing you know about me is the kind of fic I write.

What kind of person would you think I am? How would you describe my attitudes and opinions about real-life issues?

(And on that note, it's probably a good move that so far only two people on the f-list have read my borderline chanfic.)

*grins* Should have seen the looks I got when I wandered into a goth-period-costume shop in Edinburgh. The full-length leather coat I always wear got approving nods, then they noticed I was wearing baby blue and pink underneath it with a cutesey picture of Eeyore on my T-shirt ;) I like being a walking conundrum.

Oh! I have to find you the pictures of the two boys working in there. One was a goth Jack Sparrow :D And the other looked similar to Porthos in Three Musketeers :D

I think you mentioned them on LJ :) I'll need the address for when I'm in Edinburgh, that's for sure.

It's only small and wee and mainly goth, but it's lovely :) Best one I ever saw, though, was a place called Shock in Gothenburg. Hugh and beautiful :)
