a fistful of linkage

Attn. Naughty knitters and other yarn sorts: vree has an icon for you.

ladyaelfwynn discusses fanfic as an expected and even transformative act after an overwrought author compared fanfic to someone stealing her husband(?!) Further linkage here, complete with long list of published works that could arguably qualify as fanfic. (Full disclaimer: I read part of one of the overwrought author's books. It was ok, I guess - I wasn't interested enough to finish and actually found the botany more interesting than the characters).

Off LJ:

Can You Update Pulp Science Fiction Without Being F-ed Up? - I certainly hope so because while the cheese is grand some of the stereotyping is jawdroppingly awful.

Tor Books blog is rereading Cherryh's Atevi series: Foreginer; Invader. Reading these to refresh my mind as I left off at #4 2 years ago and #11 (!) is just out.

They're also rewatching Firefly....

Oh, and saw the anti-fanfic link via a libwitch post ... the reply from the published author who started out writing fanfic and is now thrilled that readers are fanficcing her was my favourite. ;-)
