Yeah, it's not to imply that that's a wrong way to do it, only that to me it's mysterious, because I always have the interest in the book or show first. Even if I loved an author I wouldn't read their stuff in another fandom, not because I doubt their ability, but because it's basically orig. fic, to me, and about people I'm just not interested in. :) Weird, because I'll certainly read original fic. I suppose it's that when I'm in fannish mindset, I'm here for the familiar characters/setting.

(How'd you find this LJ? ;-) You do know you've got me friended in HP, don't you?)
