Y'all may recall that a few months ago, I linked to a very funny piece of Star Trek litcrit fanfic<\/a>. (NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT SAFE FOR WORK.)<\/p>\n

Yesterday, there was a request on Twitter for Leverage<\/cite> fanfic, so I pointed to the same author's co-written Leverage<\/cite> fic series<\/a>. (Varying degrees of explicitness.)<\/p>\n

Now it turns out that the same author has written a lovely Jennifer Crusie pastiche, \"Making It<\/a>.\" (No more explicit than a Crusie novel, so probably Not Quite Safe For Work.) (Also: May load fairly slowly; perseverance furthers.) Those of you who've read Faking It<\/a><\/cite> may remember Nadine, the protagonist's niece? (I had to go back and reacquaint myself with bits of that book—it's been years<\/a>—and now I want to re-read the whole thing.) This fic is about Nadine and her best-friend-but-not-boyfriend Ethan. And it's dead-on stylistically, and laugh-out-loud funny in places, and sweet and romantic. And now that I've built it up your expectations will be too high, but still, if you remember Faking It<\/cite> then go read this story, and if you don't, then go re-read Faking It<\/cite> (you can read a surprising amount of it by following that Google Books link above) and then read this story.<\/p>\n

(On a side note, I had no idea until today that there was such a thing as Eddie Izzard standup-routine fanfic<\/a> (that's by a different author; also, it loads extremely slowly<\/em>). To my non-aficionado ear, this reads very much like Izzard; I can easily picture him performing it. Turns out there are more kinds of things being written in the fic world than I had imagined.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
