when Elijah opened the door to find Bean Bean! I was shocked and ... um... more than pleased.
I think it really shows how much fanfic is a conversation within the fannish community, because Bean's inclusion as one of Elijah's repercussion-free flings was a direct result of other stories written at the time, particularly ones that were slashing Bean with Viggo. There was a persuasive fanfic argument going on about how his marriages didn't last as long as his friendships with men, not to mention speculation on how someone raised in and invested in the whole "manly footballer" thing would deal with their own attraction to other men.
Stop, Rewind, (re)Play is probably my favorite of my LotRiPS stories, so I'm pleased you liked it, and very flattered by your lovely comments on my writing style. Thank you!
