Another good article from The Age on fan fiction. I knew that “slash” referred to character pairings like “P/D” (Pacey/Dawson, of course) but I didn’t realize it came from the original über-couple “K/S” (Kirk/Spock). I also like the bit about how fanfic infuriates Anne Rice. Heh.

Congratulations to Tracey (who organizes all those cool photo projects) as she’s getting married today! I seem to remember her saying it was being held in the Sydney Royal Botanical Gardens. Judging by the sun streaming in my window, she’s going to be have some beautiful weather.
