Well, now.

I got a really nice surprise yesterday, when batzulger (prolific writer in Diane Castle’s Teraverse, and many more stories) asked my okay to write a continuation of “Tea and Oranges” (LiveJournal link here, Twisting the Hellmouth link here). I happily consented, and idly wondered when I’d get to see the result …

Should have known better. Except in rare cases, I don’t post a story till I’m finished with it, but batzulger is one of several authors who post as they write, so the first chapter of “Another Number Heard From(*later renamed “Ghosts in the Machine”) is already up. So far as I can recall, this is — except for remixes — the first time someone has spun off one of my fanfics, and I’ve certainly never before received this kind of attention from such a relatively prominent name. Does this mean I’ve hit the big time? (That would be nice, but I’d kinda have to keep posting stories myself, in a timely fashion, to qualify there.) Either way, I now have another story to follow, with the added warm glow of knowing it’s got a small piece of me in its DNA.

In case it wasn’t clear, this is a story rec. Go check it out. You are so ordered.
