"PULPED FICTION
[Green Light]Sometimes my rumour mongering can have very unfortunate repercussions for everyone in the comics industry. Take my earlier "One Year Later" rumour concerning Batman. Search for it if you like, I'm not spoiling it in case it still plays out.
Someone else read it and had their own reaction. Ellen Fleischer writes "When I read that, well, the first thing that I thought to myself was 'that has to be one of the dumbest ideas TPTB@DC ever concocted. There is no way they could pull it off!'
"The second thing I thought to myself was 'unless...'
"I've been writing fanfiction for a little over two years, now. This was the first multi-chapter work I tried that didn't fizzle in the middle. It was the first thing I've posted to ff.net to garner more than 50 reviews, overwhelmingly positive. And it's also the first time that I really managed to pull off a fic that gave emphasis to plot, action, and character. (Mostly I do character vignettes.)
"I don't know whether you read fanfiction, but in case you do... I just thought you might like a link to what your posting spawned.
"I honestly don't think I would have dreamed up this story without that post. So thanks!
"Best regards,

aka Esther-Channah
aka Dragonbat
aka Estherdragonbat (don't ask!)"
I won't, Ellen, I won't... "
Way to go, Ellen!
