"Bette!!!"
Tina’s scream brought Bette careening into the study. "Tina?! What happened?!"
Bette found Tina staring horrified at the computer screen. "What? What? What is it?"
"Bette," Tina moaned painfully.
"Are you hurt? Baby?" Bette got down on her knees beside Tina. She made a quick but complete visual exam of Tina’s body. Still looked fine, mighty fine, Bette thought. "What is it, honey?"
Tina turned to Bette. Her expression was grief-stricken and her eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Gracie has turned straight."
"Isn’t she straight? Her boyfriend’s the state prosecutor and they’re trying to get pregnant." Bette tried to remember the episode that she found Tina watching two nights ago.
"No! Here, in the story."
"What story?"
"This one. Read it! It’s horrible!"
"Honey, you know these aren’t professional writers…"
"The writing’s fine. It’s not bad. But look at what the author made them do!"
Bette sighed and tried to read the text on the computer monitor. Apparently, Tina was on the fan site again. She was reading fan fiction by other authors. And this particular author made Gracie, half of the Julianne/Gracie tandem, straight. It didn’t seem to faze Tina that the Gracie of the show was truly straight. Or that the actors who played both characters were straight. (Bette, on principle, never believed the tabloids.)
"Okay. Let’s see. Hm." Bette skimmed the story.
"See?"
"Okay, I can see why you’re so distraught. So, in this story, by a certain Post Meridian – what kind of lame name is that – Julianne is in love with Gracie, and vice versa. Then, in a Dr. Who-esque plot development, it’s ten years later and Gracie is married with two children. Interesting."
"How could she do that?! Doesn’t she know that this is a JuCie fan site?"
"It isn’t, strictly. See? It says fanfiction for all characters of the show, slash and non-slash." Bette read the unfamiliar terms slowly.
"But I assumed, before reading this story, that because it said JuCie right there," Tina pointed to a speck on screen, "that THIS particular story was a JuCie story."
"Well, it does seem like they’re going to get together eventually."
"But she’s written it so it’s IMPOSSIBLE to root for them to get together. Look, look, this guy, Gracie’s husband," Tina hissed, "is a nice guy! A good guy! A minister of the church, even."

Loved it, just hilarious. …I love you, even if you shave your head and start wearing Old Spice.” Write whatever comes to mind and we’ll keep reading.” Thanks for posting.

If you write it, I’ll read it. Go were the flow takes you…never apologize!
That was good and funny, love it. Please post more, thanks!
Wow. Tina turning butch. I see what you mean when you say this is a representation of what you’re feeling when you’re writing Angels. But don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll figure out where the story goes in the end. Like Tina wants to do, you will write a better story where Bette and Tina end up together! PPS! =)
Hey! I feel like I’m missing another obvious fanficverse reference… “I’ll gobble up your chicken”? heh! Bette is damn sexy when she’s in Professor Porter mode. Okay 7… please just keep writing. Your imagination goes to such interesting places. I’ll do you a deal: as long as your writing and posting it, I’m reading it. Deal? thanks for this post as well :)
The image of Tina turning butch is very exciting to me. As for it being an unpopular plot (referring to Angels), don’t worry about it! There will always be people who prefer (and eventually) to voice out some other way writers should take their stories… I think you should stick to writing what you envisioned :)
never apologise, never explain, 7. ;p oh, take ‘Angels’ where you will, i’m sure to follow.
Oh, 7… You’re funny! I admit to having felt Tina’s outrage at finding “Tibette” stories that couldn’t have been any less Tibette in their resolution. But a) the great stories can take us to the edge and bring us back and, b) I don’t know what it is, but lately with (well-written, mind you) stories in which they’ve obviously brought each other so much pain, I just wonder if they’re better apart. The scary thing is that I’m okay with it. So, like jp said, you write it, I’ll read it. ;)
this was hilarious and absolutely great, making fun of yourself could be the best medicine LOL this reminded me how i react when i read something in fan fic and it horrifies me LOL this actually gave more hope for Angels too ;) just bring it on, anything, i’ll be here reading
very droll…i’m reading
Excellent update. I love your stories and your writing. Thank you.
The chicken reference is an allusion to the etymology of “geek”. It was originally a name for circus folk whose act entailed biting off the heads of chickens. That is, if I remember by useless trivia correctly :DNo update for maybe a couple of days (for Angels) as I do some soul-searching and maybe take in a writing workshop ;)
