CC Firefly novel by Steven Brust

Steven Brust has written a Firefly fanfic novel, but that's not really the reason why I'm linking to it. Boing Boing blogger Cory Doctorow has a great couple of lines up as an intro to the novel: A garden variety psych study of why fanfic exists in the first place. And quite frankly it sounds very plausible, because thinking about it I even dream up fanfic with real people.

On other unrelated news:

My new dentist is German. Of course there's nothing wrong with that. More intriguing is the fact that he sounds like a character from 'Allo 'Allo. And this while talking Dutch. That must be talent.
