I got to write a Political Animals fic for tascioni, who asked for a fic in which TJ was happy, which let me mentally revisit Washington DC & Kramerbooks over the holidays, throw a Love Actually reference in and title it with a line from the Panic!

As I pulled from one fansite, "This is where you post the reason for your story's rating and list anything that you ( Read more... )

Lori (of PoU fame) just told me about interesting "fanfic" - for Hamlet and Macbeth.
