Good. I get to be nice and trendy, for once.

Or twice, since I just bought a Rusted Root CD.

Shhhh, don’t tell.

It’s a secret.

Hey, as long as it’s entertaining on to itself, who cares? And trumpets are always good.

‘Sides about half of fiction–fanfic or otherwise–is the author throwing themselves into story.

I wrote a multi-epic fanfic epic once while bored off my socks at my job. Frankly, without the “Mary Sue” phenom (nice to know it has a name), I wouldn’t see the point of writing one. I always thought of fanfic as roleplaying for those that hate playing with dice and crouching on the floor. :p At any rate, the “Mary Sue” doesn’t have to be a perfect photocopy of oneself, right ? Mine got much snappier dialogue than I’d ever come up with on a day-to-day basis. AND she could play a kick-ass trumpet.
