deborah: Kirkus Reviews: OM NOM NOM BRAINS (kirkus)
I just wrote a scathing review of a debut novel, which made me feel like crap. But I followed it up with a starred review for a different debut novel, which made it all more than okay. *hugs the good one*

Incidentally, the fourth issue of Transformative Works and Cultures, a special issue on Supernatural, was just released. This issue includes an interview I conducted with the administrative team of the Super-wiki. It was a fascinating interview for me to conduct. Although I know a fair amount about administering fannish wikis, I know almost nothing about Supernatural or its fannish community, and the interviewees quite gracefully schooled me about my incorrect assumptions about their community and their goals.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
