Winds that beat you up and low stone walls. One lone pub filled with good natured farm hands. They all wear plaid flat caps and have red spider veins crawling through the ends of their noses. They've known each other forever. Before the marriages to waif thin girls who now have elbow rolls for their elbow rolls

Wow, Diana, I love everything that you write! Is it corny to say that you have a gift? Well, you do. So use it. Use it for fanfiction, livejournal, award-winning novels; use it whenever you can!

p.s. I heart you.

LOL. Well, you know that I think fanfiction is awesome. So go for it!

Reading this stuff, I'm baffled as to how you're interested in it... Explanation?

1) A few very skilled, very talented authors. Few -- precious few -- gold-needle-in-a-haystack few -- but brilliant if/when you do find them. Often can make things (themes, characters, plots) that drive you nuts in the actual story all better.
2) Some very funny authors. Note that #1 and #2 do not necessarily overlap.
3) Some very interesting ideas, whether well executed or not.
4) And the biggest reason for me: fanfiction = vivisection of story. Dissecting it while it's still alive so you can see all the cool parts moving and stuff!
