lobelia321I just had a thought in an email.
I believe that once a fic is out there, the author becomes just another reader and another voice in the babble of interpretations and responses. So I'm the author of but not the authority on my fics.
(This comes from preparing my Theories course. I'm up to the gills in Foucault and Barthes and the 'death of the author'. *dies*)
