Awk-WORD

As a way huger Harry Potter fan that I even considered, and as someone who sat through the Twilight Fan Fiction panel one SDCC ago — before E.L. James boringed up sex — it was interesting to see Rowell tackle fan-fic.  This time through, her characters were less interesting for me.  I just didn’t give a damn if Cath fell in love, I didn’t feel that heartache I did for Eleanor & Park, and everything felt forced quirky.  However, I’m curious, because Rowell’s latest release will be Carry On, which is the fictional fan-fic from this book.  How deliciously meta.
