Fear not, this boy has done the purple fuzzy, he's done the glitter, feathers, sequins, drag, whatever.

All in the same performance. Sometimes simultaneously.

That sounds like TABOO!!!

---

Aah, I should have known. It all makes sense now.

amasis thought I insulted Raul and his "enormousness." Clearly that was unintended?

And you're baaaaack!

---

The plaid is still underneath! I was getting a lot of complaints about how big the old one was. Seriously.

---

He was unusually large, but nothing compared to *some* avatars that have appeared here.

Raul is large no matter what size the photo, darlings.

It's the crazy hair, which has since been cut, thank God.

Yes, the original is certainly very...groovy.

*mind boggles* Okay...

I wish some of the fanfic writers were around to see this, but I want to post it while the paper is in front of me. Today's Newsday (local paper) had an arts cover story about fanfiction. Apparently it's huge, especially built around TV shows. What caught my eye was this:

"Yet it isn't modern at all. While the Internet delivers fanfic with new efficiency...this kind of shared storytelling is actually an ancient form, which was once the norm.

'For most of human history, that's how narrative evolved,' says Henry Jenkins, director of comparative media studies at MIT... 'There was never a single author, whether it's Homer or Shakespeare. Writers always borrowed heavily from the stories of their times,' which were shaped and altered while being retold. 'There's a human need to tell stories to each other, and fanfic now fulfills that need.'

Some of the things I've read by people here have been great. The other thing the article mentioned was the prevalence of slash, mostly written by women. But they didn't have a theory about that!

Or if one man is good, two are better?
