fic writer who went to a real-life writer's workshop, and found another participant in the group (whose name she recognized as another fic writer) handing out copies of the first writer's fic, with the names changed.
Now, there's a coincidence! I'd have been less surprised if the non-plagiarist had merely recognized the fic as being that of someone else in the online community, but to have it be her own work? Oy!
And I agree with Nutty up to a point on the specificity of fic being hard to swap to original stuff, but... I dunno. I think about stories like some of the really good casefiles from XF ("Antidote", "Rags", any of Syntax's or Nascent's work), and I really wouldn't be surprised if someone took one of those and made it into a free-standing mystery novel. Sure, there would be some work to do, but less work than writing it all yourself. Of course, arguing against it is the fact that the better a given story is, the more well known it is and the less likely the plagiarist would be to get away with it.
I love the Nanny-fic story.
I think it was mainly knowing the word
So it's a real word, then, and not just a pleasing (and it
is
pleasing) sound cluster? I asked two dictionaries but it wasn't there. Is it a place name...?

It's Greek. Thought I'd put the definition in there (I tame or I subdue). But, mostly, I like it because it's a pleasing sound cluster.
(I tame or I subdue).
Oh my
lord.
You're SUCH a top.
(...when I looked at Adamao, though, the header just reads Adamo.org, rather than Adamao.org. Is that intentional?)
Fixed. Was time to update the header image, anyhow.
Probably will avoid mentioning it to Paul, however. (But it's such a PRETTY eyeball...)
Plei, the disclaimer at the bottom:
This site is not officially involved any production
involved with any...yes?
involved with any...yes?
Yep!
The disclaimer underwent some edits, and I seem to have missed a spot shaving. I'll fix it tomorrow (unlike the typo in the header, the disclaimer one doesn't bother me.).
I thought this was an interesting discussion on names used on the show vs. how characters think of themselves (e.g., if you're writing from Giled POV in a 3rd-person story, is he Giles or Rupert? At what point does Anyanka start thinking of herself as Anya?).
I'm stumbling through LiveJournal, and just bumped into this piece of HP fandom hand signals done by ...
goes back to check
... someone named mctabby.
