Summary
"At the picnic today he was wearing a dark blue shirt and later he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top couple of buttons because it was hot out and I could see his neck..."
Xan kept the notebook (he would have rejected the term 'diary') hidden from prying brotherly and parental eyes, under a loose panel in the wardrobe floor he'd found when he was supposed to be cleaning his room. It was originally intended to hold his research notes, like Father's, but lately he mostly wrote down things about Justen.

Summary
Ardith waited near the jeweler's shop in Fairmont, wondering where her fiancés were. Before the dragonborn woman could get too worried or impatient, she spotted Aleyn's lanky form descending from a hired carriage. He waved to her and hurried up to the little sheltered overhang where she stood. "I'm so sorry, Vedran had a last-minute meeting come up - he'll be with us as soon as he can, but it'll probably be an hour or so, and he asked me to come and let you know so you wouldn't be kept waiting, and he says he's sorry but it's with Lord... uh, somebody Varades, he's been trying to get to see him for weeks, and it sounded important anyway, but I know he felt really bad..."
She smiled and held up a hand to still his nervous babbling. "It's fine, Aleyn, the rings aren't going anywhere. Maybe until Vedran is able join us we can take a walk together - provided the rain holds off," she added with a glance at the grey clouds.

Ficthropology Episode 3: Abigail Derecho - Archontic Literature by earis, Lukoni, Measured_Words, Nary

Summary
Okay, after a long delay (for which I apologize profusely), we are finally back with Episode 3. Hooray! In this episode, we follow on from last time with a discussion of what constitutes fanfiction and how it is best described and understood. Is there really a good metaphor that can encompass this whole crazy, multi-faceted world? Thus we tackle "Archontic Literature: A Definition, a History, and Several Theories of Fan Fiction" by Abigail Derecho. It is the first chapter in Karen Hellekson and Kristina Busse's Fan Fiction and Fan Communities in the Age of the Internet: New Essays (2006). We hope you enjoy!

Summary
"It's not about that. It's about me, and Vedran..."
"What about him?" His mother's eyes narrowed cautiously, as if bracing for bad news.
"It's all right," he assured her. "It's good, actually. He's getting married..."
His mother scowled despite his claim that this was good news. "Not to you, I suppose. Some noble girl?"
"No, and yes," Aleyn said with a smile.

Summary
One of the reasons she liked Aleyn was that he wasn't pushy or grabby or impatient like most boys their age. Still, Lila sometimes wished he would sweep her into his arms and embrace her more passionately. Maybe not here, though, where people were watching - including her mother, who was conveniently sweeping off the steps and keeping an eye out for her youngest daughter's return. Besides, Aleyn wasn't really the passionate type. At least, she thought, not yet, but maybe that would change tomorrow.

Summary
Shardene moves in so gradually Lester hardly notices. It starts as giving her a safe place to stay for a few days, maybe a week or two, and she just... stays. Sure, she goes home to get things - a change of clothes, the book she was reading - always with him along for the ride, in case. Lester gives her his bed and sleeps on the couch. "You're such a gentleman," she said, and laughs.

Summary
The new girl wasn't fit for house duty, at least that's what the dealer who'd sold her said. She'd been a runaway, that much was plain from the brand on her cheek. But she was pretty, aside from that, and well-spoken, and seemed docile enough now, whatever her past might have held. It seemed a shame to waste her in the fields, to let hard work roughen her hands and darken her skin. "Let me try her," Lara Lee begged her brother.
