Wondering

[deelaundry]

Housefic writers on my f-list (or any who happen to stop by), I'm curious. [Special call to purrlia: want your opinion here, too!]

We all know Jimmy Wilson is the Cy Young of medicine. Compared to an author in the broader literary world, who are you in the Housefic fandom, and why?

Example: XX (particular fanfic writer not on my f-list) is the Jeffrey Archer of Housefic - popular, but not meaningful. As one columnist said about Archer's work, it "has always struck me as being above average of its kind. Its kind being airport books. You buy one in New York, read bits of it with some amusement and interest on the plane, and then chuck it in the bin at Heathrow."

For bonus points, because I'm hugely self-centered, to whom would you compare me?

This post is open to everyone, so feel free to email if you're feeling shy.

Er...I've never seen Withnail and I. I am therefore not certain how to respond to the comparison. Perhaps I'll respond by seeing whether I can get some episodes of this show from Netflix.

Led astray? Turned to the darkside? Whatever could you mean? What darkside?

You have never seen it! Oh Mare - as a Doctor Who fan you'd love it. It is a cult British movie made by some unbelieveable famous director, but I (or Marwood) is played a very young and ruff making Paul McGann and Withnail is played by Richard E Can't.

It is about two unemployed actors who go for a weekend in the country.
