A couple things

[draggonlaady]

Thing the first, in reference to blatantly overwrought fear-mongering about genetic modifications:




Thank you, endotoxin for that.




Thing the second, I do not, as a general rule, read fan-fic. I'm generally of the opinion that if you're a good writer with brilliant ideas, you should create your own world and your own characters. However, I am absolutely loving this re-telling of Harry Potter as a rationalist. It is a work in progress, and long already--I don't know how long it will end up being, but it is easily better writing than stuff I've seen published, and a premise I'm enjoying greatly. Start reading here.
Updates Sundays, sometimes more often, sometimes skips a week to post a longer chapter all at once rather than breaking.


Thing the third, in sharp contrast to thing the second, is a stunning example of some of the worst writing I've ever forced myself to read. I challenge you to make it to the end of this person's profile.

/me runs off to write Monsanto and Pfizer slash-fic. Hot corporate corn-holing action, baby! (And I DO mean corn-holing!)

Sick-o. You'll notice if you read that fan-fic that it is NOT slash/smut/porny fic :P

Why do you think we're not reading it? :p

Because you assume that it, like so much other fan-fic, is crap? But I told you it's not! :P
