A moment of awesome: Ani fanfic writer.

[icarus]

So I was up at retreat talking to a VIP senior ani* about Tibetan language.

She mentions playing video games.

I mention Harry Potter, which mom noticed on her Facebook page she liked.

I mention fic.

Oh? She asks if I read it.

I say heck, read it? I write it.

Turns out she writes Harry Potter fic. Gen. Evil!Harry. And another ani I know is her beta.

She staggered away in shock that we had this in common. (I emailed her First Signs of Magic: Hermione Granger. On the SugarQuill. Because I know who not to send to a non-con dark Ron/Draco slashfic like Beg Me For It.)

This moment of awesome is brought to you by the pervasiveness of Fandom.



* Ani = Tibetan Buddhist nun. Technically, the word means "auntie."

FANDOM! We're bigger than you think! Well, also HP is like the internet UR fandom, everyone who read the books as they came out dipped their toe in the internet fandom somehow. It's a like a pre-req for taking Internet Fandom 102.

Yes, but she was writing fanfic from INDIA. While in the monastic college, no less.
