Diets suck

But sometimes they are necessary - especially when your pants are to tight. Come on, dear friends, share your best diet recipes with me. Um, and please don't list the truly expensive ones. I am allowed to break my fast on Saturday - it would be nice to have a few new recipes to try next week...

ETA: No, I do not need tips on how to diet, I know all that (what 40+ overweight Western hemisphere woman doesn't)... I just enjoy reading recipes, and I'd like new ones, exotic ones (and yes, the US are very exotic in that regard), exciting ones - only they shouldn't be too fattening.

And since I'm going on about food: what kind of jell-o do you have in the US? We have 4 kinds, raspberry, cherry, lemon, and woodruff. There's supposed to be apple around too, but I've never seen or eaten it....

Looking for a Joss Whedon quote

I am looking for quotes in which Joss Whedon mentions fanfic. I already found this one:
Q: What should fans do now that they’ll have an extra hour free in their schedule?
Joss Whedon: What should they do with that hour? Write fan fic.

I remember there is one where he talks about fans writing erotica based on his show. I just can't find it. I know it exists, I even know that someone on my flist has it as an icon, but I can't find the exact quote or the information where and when he said it.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and while I'm at it, does anyone still have the link to the article on thamiris. I remember that a few years ago she was mentioned in an article on fanfiction.

In two weeks I'm a guest speaker in a seminar on Literature and Cultural studies - I will get a time slot of about 30 minutes to talk about new technologies and new formats. One of the students will give a report on fanfic, but I'd like to be able to add to whatever she's saying. I will probably show a fanvid or two, and I'll go on about virtual seasons and the way they are produced, with trailers, interviews and whatnot. :-) I'll also talk about fan movies (*makes mental note to watch 'Revelations'*). I may also show a few manips, but um, not the pornographic ones... I think. :-)
