Best goddamn laugh I've had in a couple of days: anti-fanfic bingo!

Coincidentally enough, I just found my long-lost jump drive with my notes for a moderately ambitious Torchwood fanfic. Yep, I'm going to do what many of my friends think I'm incapable of: write a genfic1. Worse yet, I'm still intending to tackle it as a screenplay. I'm mad, I tell you. Quite, quite mad.

And please, oh please, don't leave a comment asking me if I've seen Torchwood 2x01/telling me how awesome it is. I haven't seen it and I'm sure it is awesome, but my husband is already badly distracted by my sobbing into the keyboard and moaning that life was so much easier without a conscience. Let's not make things any worse for either of us, 'kay?

Ask me on the 26th. :)

PS. Meanwhile, I've started flinging emails to a couple of dealers who are going to be at G1, asking after their interest in the B7 'zines. I figure that shipping 'em to Gally won't cost too much and if any sale falls through at the last minute, my loss will be the charity auction's gain.

1 - well, genfic in that only canonical naughtiness will be referred to...

It's moral quandary time!

Some of these B7 fanzines I've cheerfully taken off my friend's hands are, it seems, worth a few bucks to certain folks. Not gobs and gobs, mind you, but $10 - $30 each, depending on the title.

If money wasn't tight at Casa Cthulhu, I wouldn't give a damn. I'd gladly give them away for the cost of postage.

But money is tight. And, by my reckoning, I'm sitting on about $300 worth of 'zines - possibly more - if I can find a buyer.

That's the kicker. Finding a buyer. Well, that and wrestling my conscience to the ground that's saying I should give the things away, as initially planned, because that's the kind-and-nice thing to do - even if I suspect that some recipients would immediately turn around and sell the items on ebay, once read. After all, we might be fans, but we're also only human, right? Right. This moral quandary being a case in point, for instance.

Would it be horrible of me if I sold these 'zines, rather than giving them away?

*fretfretfret*

Maybe if I offered them up at a bargain price - less than I'm seeing online? Maybe that would quiet my conscience but still satisfy the little black duck that sees small-but-significant piles of cash in fanzine form on the coffee table...

Blech. I wish I wasn't broke. The matter would be much easier to resolve, then...
