Why I shouldn't be allowed in chat rooms.
In a large-scale chat, the question of small fandoms came up, with someone else mentioning she knew someone who wrote fic for The Star Wars Holiday Special. I responded by asking, "Kevin J. Anderson?"
This got someone else to chip in about Brian Herbert, a third person to come up with Timothy Zahn, and someone else entirely to request some sort of slash pairing. I don't quite remember what happened right after that, but eventually everyone agreed there'd be a Zahn-led BDSM scene with Anderson bottoming and Peter David spying on them with binoculars. This ended up with a weird sci-fi author fandom thing going on, with Gaiman and Pratchett off doing their own stuff, Alan Moore and Ursual K. Le Guin having tea in Northampton, and George Lucas ignoring everyone else, as usual.
Nobody was willing to write it themselves - I think being that close to it kind of scared us all off - but if anyone else wants to run with the idea, or simply pass it along, feel free to do so.
