[meta] in progress

After talking to my sister, K, I really want to write about the way authors interact with their readers online; the way fans who become authors a) deal with fans and b) still act like fans first and authors second; the way author-fan expectation can change fan expectation; and how that can effect the way a new form of the source material is received.

(This is inspired by The Dresden Files, the show, and the way it hasn't been renewed, compared to Stardust.)

Unfortunately, I'm just taking a packing break to eat a bagel and then I'm back to it, so this will have to wait. I just wanted to put it here so I can remember to talk about, I hope.

(I've just switched my background show to a Scooby Doo movie, but I was watching a Cheetah Girls movie because they were singing and dancing their way through Barcelona and I was enjoying seeing all the places I visited once and would like to visit again. I can't tell you how many Disney tv movies I've watched just to see parts of Hawaii. Yeah.)

Do you think I could convince you to write this up as an article for the Broadsheet? The web publication for Broaduniverse. Pretty Please?

Well, that was unexpected. Pretty awesome, but unexpected.

I'll try to write it up during orientation, but it may be awhile before I can get it to you. Is that okay?

I would very much enjoy reading this (and would more than likely have Comments).
