Helen, if memory serves me correctly, it was you who described PJ's work as fanfic, and that is I think a great addition to discussion here.I would take issue, however, with your defense of alternate universe stuff. Everything you say is of course quite acceptable in itself about AUFF, but the problem here is that PJ did not coin his own titles. He did not provide extensive enough alternative vision to qualify as an exploration on its own right. He's riding coattails when he should cut bait. Maril, amen to your Ralph Bakshi line. In humour lies snatches of sanity. Bethberry[ December 22, 2002: Message edited by: Bethberry ]
