Mar. 17th, 2014 05:29 pmGeneral call for somebody please anybody to read over what I have of "Fake Geek Girls" (2500 words so far, give or take depending on whether we trust Google Docs' word counter or Scrivener's) and opinionate on same. Drop your Gmail in the comments or PM box and I'll share the doc with you. I'm particularly concerned with whether the format of most of it (fake Dreamwidth posts and comments) works, with whether the general concept/idea works, and with whether my handful of fake Dreamwidth users (1) sound sufficiently distinct from one another and (2) sufficiently evoke a massive fannish conversation on the subject.

Art frightens people. Not every artist has the Gift, but enough do to make people wonder. What magic was worked when this story was written, when this quilt was sewn, when this episode was filmed? What if the magic is in reading the story or curling up under the quilt or watching the show? What if the magic is on me?
Gifted ones are rarely such fools as to work magic that is not bound off when the knitting is finished. When we do work magic that stays active beyond the completion of the piece, it is, or it should be, invariably benign. But the people, oh, they believe anything.
My name is Amy Flanagan, and I am that most dangerous of creatures: an Artist.
