Fanfiction gone meta
Now I’ve gone and done it…a nerd writing fiction about fictional nerds acting out fiction. Man, that’s a mouthful. I should just go ahead and give up any hope of ever sitting at the “big kids” table ever again.
I went ahead and posted it on LiveJournal, because Genshiken’s presence is completely non-existent on FanFiction.net. It’s doubtful the boys would ever get hardcore yaoi fangirl Kanako Ohno to read about yuri, but in a club where everybody fools around with video games, anime, and manga, it’s inevitable that all of their bases have to be covered (and are belong to us). That’s when I got an idea to have Saki (whose boyfriend is a member of the club and a big video game fanatic) and Ohno act out a scene from a manga left behind by the boys, as shown in this double drabble I call “Act the Fool“.
