Oh yes, Spock, my first favorite TV show character... I love Barbara Hambley's very fannish crossover novel Ishmael.
Those were the days when officially published books looked like fanfic...

:-)

I think Joss Whedon should find a decent editor - and authorize an annual "Best of Buffyfanfic" anthology... :-)

And yeah, studying literature puts a dampener on the fun of reading. Tell me about it.
