"It's an *original* story.."

[emony]

My live-in landlord T has discovered fanfic. He's downstairs now, reading Fyre's The Eighth Weasley HP/Buffy crossover fic. I don't think he really knows what it is - he tried to explain to me this "original story" written by "someone who only uses one name, maybe because of the copyright" that he "found on the Internet and printed off." Gee .. tell me more about this earth thing called "original writing".

It's not by JK Rowling, you know. I thought some of you might be wondering.

And then it's "Hey, there's all this really strange stuff where people are writing male characters having hot monkey sex! What kind of nutters are into that?" ;)

I don't know. He is gay. He might think it's great. Or weird. Or both.

I will nod and smile and not offer any more comments, I think.
