Better than I could say it

Remember college English essays? I struggled to write them, always finding not quite the right word or phrase to best express my thoughts. [livejournal.com profile] regan_v seems to suffer no such problem. Or if she does, what is in her head must be amazing, because her essays and recommendations are very much what I wish I was publishing here, before the whole thought to written word translation interferes.

I stumbled across her essay Comparing SS/RL and SS/SB in Fan Fiction, written years before I knew fanfiction existed, while searching for a better archive of one of the authors she references.

It made me realize that I am taking more steps into fandom, since I was as excited to read her essay comparing the fodder for relationship building between SS/RL and SS/SB as I was to check out the stories she referenced.

Oh, and I discovered a new (to me) author! But I'm still digesting that one, so it will have to wait.
