I think my problem with reading fanfic before seeing a source is that I see/hear things I read like movies in my head, and I like to have the actor's voice/image to work with.
Completely understandable. Once I see some source material, everything in fic flows much more smoothly for me.
Oh, fabulous! I just got an MA in English, and I adore magical realism as well.
Hey, congratulations! I'm applying to doctoral programs in the fall for Spanish lit, so hopefully next year I'll be right where you are. Are you planning on a doctorate in addition to your Master's, or is this where the find-a-job thing comes in?
Eh, I don't know that it would really be considered cracky. It was just sort of directionless more than anything else.
Dang. So many shows fall into that trap. Well, I generally prefer beginnings to middles or endings, so it probably won't matter much.
