You know, the concept of "Cyberspace" eerily reminds me of The Circular Ruins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Circular_Ruins) by Borges. Apparently it's a fascinating theme that attracts those who write. Come to think of it, I flirted with it myself. In one of my fics, Drusilla feeds on Dawn and starts seeing "worlds beyond the wall": "There are countless hells and every one of them has its own Spike. In some hells he's a sex slave of my Daddy who courageously protects him from evil Slayer clutches. In some of them he's with a handsome boy who calls himself his "nummy treat". There are hells where poor Spike is the best basketball player in the Oxford team, or a shy virginal rebel without a cause or a pregnant he-housewife (very kinky!) I even saw a hell where he explains humanity to a blue creature with tentacles. But in the majority of hells he's with the Slayer and they have sex."

I did not know that OBAFU was taken down or why. How horrible. And how insane. That kerfuffle pretty much adds the "fanatic" to fan. Why would anyone in their right mind be against an interactive fanfic? Isn't fanfic by its very nature interaction with the series? Sigh

*sighs in unison*
