Sep. 1st, 2013 10:06 amFriday before last, I woke up with such a terrible sense of vertigo that I could hardly trust my feet to do their job of keeping me upright.( You can't call it insomnia if you're not even trying to sleep. )
On the fanfic front, I got a kick out of reading about ten famous authors who write fanfic. It seems the trend goes well beyond that 50 Shades woman. I'm glad Scalzi finally owned up to certain realities after Fuzzy Nation came out. Hey John, "re-booting" another author's work is called fan fiction, my friend! Just because your publisher managed to secure permission doesn't change that fact. And then there's good old Orson Scott Card. I didn't think I could personally dislike him more than I do, but the man is a veritable wellspring of asshattery.
