Reading Update
The Nice and Accurate Good Omens TV Companion: Your guide to Armageddon and the series based on the bestselling novel by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman by Matt Whyman. Wonderful resource for fans of the show! (Yes, yes, I read mostly Good Omens fanfic this past week as well…)

Ooh, I had one of those Nokias.

Fanfic definitely has an important place in fiction (including screenwriting). Besides, at the most basic of definitions, any retelling is fanfic. Any of the fairy tale retellings? Fanfic. West Side Story? Fanfic. The Lion King? Fanfic. And in related news, I’m happy to be a backer of the next season of Uncanny Magazine. I hadn’t been aware of them before now, but I’ll be looking over their back-issues, too.
Love the Gaiman novelist comic. And the Customer Service Wolf. LOL.
Also LOL at the Chuck Wendig apple reviews. Great — and much needed — laugh for the end of this very hot week.
Ugh that we are eating plastic
