I will say it loud and proud: I love fanfiction. You can find smut and fluff, G-rated content and R-rated content, and everything in between. There are works that are fewer than 500 words and longer than 500,000 words.

It was not an unexpected response. I suppose I may be the sort of person to whom they would be wary of speaking with.

Painful Predictions: Mean-Spirited Horoscopes From a Dude Who Refuses to Believe in All of This Stuff
