Sometimes I write fanfiction about people who really exist and who are in my life. The are not fictitious people, and while I fabricate the events-- mostly-- I rarely write anything that I don't think COULD have happened.
That said, today, I wrote such a peace in response to a contest about geektatude.
You can read it here, and see the photo that inspired the totally-true-if-not-for-the-made-up-parts account that explains why JR Blackwell dances with Stormtroopers. I'll let you decide for yourself which parts are made up. (Hint: Not Much.)
This is not a challenge to Mrs. Blackwell, as I know well and good that the Missus is far geeker than I. Still, it had to be done.
PS. Yes, there are better ways I should have spent those thousand words, but not many.
