Purify Me, Charles

[talktooloose]

I want to write a longer piece about my relationship with fear and what snowmit termed my "viral" way of conquering them. This all came up in a great post-show walk along Queen Street after the LCD Soundsystem / MIA show on Saturday night. Later.

In the meantime, here is a link that may be of no interest to anyone but me, but it's pretty cool that it exists at all. The Aphanes is a well-written, multi-chapter X-Men fanfic by to_cry_about which combines X-world and the world of Canadian politics. The main character is an OC ("original character" in fanspeak) who is a troubled young mutant son of a Canadian senator, sent to Xavier's school for therapy with Prof. X.

A new chapter has just been posted and the story is now shifting back to Ottawa in the wake of an anti-mutant terrorist attack within the halls of Parliament. How cool is that?

The author also manages to stick in Canlit and Rheostatics quotes.

Thinking fondly on you both

I'd be rather interested in your viral approach.
