Jim's stand on fic?

[Mickey Finn]

Or worse....Slash!

I just can't see Harry and Bob making out or Thomas revealing that deep down he really wanted to be in Harry's yellow ducky boxers.

No story ideas!

I just can't see Harry and Bob making out

I really didn't need to be set thinking about what Bob does to get around not having a tongue. Really.

I really didn't need to be set thinking about what Bob does to get around not having a tongue. Really.

It could be worse...imagine a fanfic with Bob meeting up with Sgt. Foley from Officer & A Gentleman:

"You better stop eyeballing me boy. I'll rip your eyeballs out the sockets and skull-

(click to show/hide)

fuck

you to death!"

[knnn]

And what's Harry's stand on Fan Fiction?  I wonder if he ever composed a Mary Sue story?

I can see him doing a Mary Sue "Spider-Man" story, just to get it out of his system; showing it to anyone, however...I can't see him doing...better to run it through the shredder after writing it.

After all, not even a writer of Jim's talent can keep a Mary Sue from being regurgitatingly awful...

ROFL

I can just see the slash writers furiously at work now...they'd forgotten about those boxers but they are going to now write a story where those suckers are burned into our retinas.

Yes but Jim has already hinted that Bob gets around the fact that he's just a cloud of orange energy as it is, quite nicely.

Way kinky.  Bob would approve I think!

No but I can definitely see Bob composing Mary Sue fiction.  Wait where did I read elsewhere on the forum?

"And then Murphy burst in and ripped off her top....."  Isn't that how it starts?  Something about Bob in a menage et toi?

[meg_evonne]

Harry did write a bunch of paranormal brochures for his office, didn't he?  :-)

They probably came with a fire-disclosure that author was not responsible for accidents.

"And then, Lara Raith strode in, masterfully taking charge of the situation by grabbing Murphy in one hand, Bob in the other..."

[Infamous as Elle!]

Ah ha ha!

I can totally see Bob doing that.  A gift for Harry, since Bob thinks he has an appallingly dismal love life.

Does Bob write pervy Mary Sue Fan-fics?  Someone should really ask Jim that next time on tour.

I know a lot of teenagers who've started dabbling in witchcraft/Wicca can get a bit pushy in sharing their new belief system, up to and including writing fanfiction set in fantasy worlds, where they convert all the magically talented characters to Wicca (much as pushy Christians will convert their favorite characters, up to and including villains/antagonists). I've seen it done with Harry Potter and the movie version of John Constantine, and even introducing it to Middle Earth (!). No doubt some teenybopper who's read Silver Ravenwolf's "Teen Witch" a few times too many would do the same to Harry Dresden. Despite his staunch self-identifying as "theological Switzerland" and the bit in Death Masks when Father Forthill asks him if he's ever going to convert from Paganism,  and he replies something to the effect that he isn't Pagan, so he doesn't have to.

Until he knows me better, that would more politely be a menage et vous.

I think Bob pretty much does this in "Something Borrowed", fwiw, with the assumptuions he makes when he wakes up in strange places.

And though i know exactly what Harry means by that, every time I read it I still think of Calvinists first and neutrality later.

and the bit in Death Masks when Father Forthill asks him if he's ever going to convert from Paganism,  and he replies something to the effect that he isn't Pagan, so he doesn't have to.

There's a kind of mild blurring there between the Catholic tendency to refer to all non-Christians/Jews as pagans, and the way some Wiccans claim "Pagan" as basically meaning Wicca, which I find a bot bothersome because it's disrespectful to Classical pagans, Asatru, and other flavours of contemporary self-identified pagan.
