“I was playing World of Warcraft when Zack called, and I thought he was calling me to let me down easy. I had to play it cool. Be appreciative, respectful and professional. But the second we hung up, I just sprinted up and down my stairs cheering and whooping like a madman. I kept looking in the mirror, going, ‘I don’t believe it. I’m Superman? I’m Superman!!”

"I adore the way fan fiction writers engage with and critique source texts, by manipulating them and breaking their rules. Some of it is straight-up homage, but a lot of [fan fiction] is really aggressive towards the source text. One tends to think of it as written by total fanboys and fangirls as a kind of worshipful act, but a lot of times you’ll read these stories and it’ll be like ‘What if Star Trek had an openly gay character on the bridge?’ And of course the point is that they don’t, and they wouldn’t, because they don’t have the balls, or they are beholden to their advertisers, or whatever. There’s a powerful critique, almost punk-like anger, being expressed there—which I find fascinating and interesting and cool."

This is very true - I’ve seen innumerable fanfics of people saying, “I could do this better than they did.”

And quite frequently, they do.

Julie d’Aubigny, or La Maupin, was a 17th c. French bisexual genderqueer sword-fighting opera-singing badass. She was the daughter of a master swordsman who trained her to be an expert, and she killed or severely injured at least ten men in duels throughout her lifetime - duels during which she dressed in men’s clothing but didn’t bother to conceal her biological sex. She once took on three men in a duel and won, stabbing one through the shoulder. The next day? She went to his home and seduced him. And when the parents of a female lover of hers sent the girl off to a convent when her affair with d’Aubigny was discovered, Julie pretended to join the Holy Order, stole the body of a dead nun, placed it in her lover’s bed, and set the room on fire so they could run away together. The French Parliament charged her for these crimes as a male, but d’Aubigny escaped punishment. Oh, and she became a famed contralto with no musical training whatsoever. No big deal.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t still love the Mighty Ducks movies. My favorite characters are still Dean Portman and Fulton Reed.
