Thanks for Kaetzchen!

Katjes arrived!

Accompanied by a sealed envelope! With a real wax seal!

And a letter from Karl! (Honest.)

Thank you, blithesea!!!!

And I was just starting to ration myself, too...

P.S. Where are those Karlpics *from*??

rps dilemma: is karl bad?

( how blythely confused my lust )

Strangely, I do not think I would be perturbed by similar revelations about Derek Benfield...

author vs authority

I 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*)
