FanLit? No Kidding?
Posted on | October 8, 2006
After weeks of listening to Lynne talk about Avon’s FanLit contest, I have actually entered. You read that right. As sick as I had become of reading entry after entry with the same characters in often similar situations (scintillating writing and marvelous parodies excepted), I leaped at an idea that she considered and rejected, and have posted the results for consideration in round four.
I won’t identify it just yet, but it’s a nod to one of my literary and dramatic favorites. Let’s just say that at least one main character needed a good talking to, and has now had it. Romance heroes and heroines often seem to be begging for a swift kick in the pants. Indeed, my entry is very nearly a parody, but I wrote it quite seriously, and there are only a few little jokes in it. I hope that it will reach a small audience, and make them smile.
