Recursive fiction is recursive fiction

[jeriendhal]

So what do you call it when chaypeta writes a fanfic using characters I created for a fanfic I wrote based on an original story she's wrote set in the far future of her webcomic?

Well I called it a nice present for when I got home after a crap day at work, for one thing.

In other news, I've been getting a ton of nice comments from bujold_fic from cross-post I did of "A Fine and Private Place..." Go me.

Well, that would be more like recursive fan-fiction though - but great nonetheless :)

Grats on the good feedback. I must admit that I'm holding off reading it due to spoilerage... still waiting for my copy of the book. :(

Hmmm. Maybe we call it a collaborative effort. lol. I'm glad I could cheer you up after a rotten day.

That's because you and A Fine and Private Place both deserve it [sniffle].

Sounds to me like it might be starting to head towards shared universe, but that's just me reading the description.
