Yeah, but the line becomes blurry sometimes (not between you and me, but when the issue gets discussed more generally) between what is personal preference, and what is an imposition of normative cultural values and expectations. You prefer my original stuff. That's cool. I get that. I'm very flattered ;> But often the equation is treated as a one-for-one matter of time allotment (i.e., why are you spending/wasting time writing fanfic when you could be writing original fic).
But I'm gonna try to withdraw at this point, even though I'm enjoying talking about this with you, because now I'm spending time involving myself in this discussion when I should be grading papers and writing a final exam. Stop distracting me, woman!
