Most of my blogging is done at Letters from Titan, but feel free to stick around here for fanfiction and random personal exclamations.

OH MAN SO I'm hardly on LJ anymore, but I use things like longreads a lot and I opened up an article entitled "The Boy Who Lived Forever" which had a very ambiguous blurb on my blogroll, and you can imagine my surprise upon reading the opening paragraph:

"J.K. Rowling probably isn't going to write any more Harry Potter books. That doesn't mean there won't be any more. It just means they won't be written by J.K. Rowling. Instead they'll be written by people like Racheline Maltese."

!!!

Um, awesome. I didn't realize it was an article on fic, and now I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy it a bunch. *off to read*

Hi! Yeah. Um, it's been a thing. I knew it was happening, but didn't quite know how it was happening and had actually thought it was going to drop tomorrow. So while I was trying to decide if I was going to talk about it or how, it happened.

Lev did a lovely job talking about fan works and the community and I'm just really grateful for that. Being in it (and laughing my ass off at a few contextual moments around that) has been all bonus.

I really loved the article - I agreed with the various people quoted so much (Kelli Joyce pretty much articulated my experience starting in fandom at 12. Her name is even very close to mine, so kind of funny!). It was especially great to see an article that really got what fanfic is about, and didn't just play it off as "women writing porn with other people's characters". I shared it with J and he found it very interesting too, from a no-experience-with-fic perspective.

Is XT the XT I think he is?
