"24" Fanfiction by an Emmy-winning Writer

A big thank you for people who left me chin-up messages the other day. Things are still not happy, but at least they're not sucking out loud. So that's an improvement, I guess.

And a big thank you to sunnyd_lite (Yes, beeg sekrit project has not been forgotten!) for writing me a sweet Xander and Faith comment fic. *hugs it tight like fuzzy blankie.

Ken Levine may not be a name you recognize, but if you've ever watched M*A*S*H, Cheers, Fraiser, The Simpsons, Wings, Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, Dharma & Greg, Almost Perfect, or saw the Tom Hanks/John Candy movie Volunteers, you know his work.

Anyway, the engaging Mr. Levine, via the magic of his blog, shows us what striking WGA writers do in their spare time.

They write 24 fanfiction.

Okay, I'm sure he'd call it a parody. But still. Fanfiction. For serious.

For more pro ficcers writing fanfiction, be sure to read Neil Gaiman's I, Cthulhu (Cthulhu, obviously) and A Study in Emerald (Sherlock Holmes).

Also helping my state of mind is marathoning Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on DVD thanks to the magic of Netflix.
