Amy Discovers Jo's AO3 Handle And Drags Her In The March Family Groupchat.
Amy: “When John’s sister is hospitalized with a potentially fatal case of pneumonia, he and Sherlock pay her a visit in the hospital. When his sister’s wife assumes that he and Sherlock are a couple, will he face the truth? Or continue living a lie?”
Beth: wait when did she post this
Amy: uhm February 2011
Beth: are you fucking kidding me that’s when i got pneumonia
Beth: i almost died
Amy: ya i was there i remember
Beth: did she literally write sherlock holmes fanfiction about the time i got pneumonia and almost died
Hat tip to The Rec Center.

As a soi-distant progressive parent with infosec sensibilities this had me shaken. Whatever your gender identity is, whatever your predilections are? They’re OK, that’s OK. You’re my kid, you’re my family, I love you and I’m here for you. But letting somebody else use your phone? What the hell, didn’t I raise you better than that?

Amy is basically the only little woman I like, but I understand that that's bad of me? I am the youngest in my family.

As someone who used fanfiction extensively to explore and figure out my gender identity and sexuality, I have read this essay approximately eleventy-billion times and felt completely, deliciously, Seen.

I have never read Little Women, in much the same way that I have never consumed a lot of media about which I have read fan fiction (but I have read several Toast articles that cover the ground pretty well) and this was delightful.

I just caught on to the several different levels that Meg's line works on. Genius.

My daughter used to write Harry Potter fanfic and is now on Sherlock Holmes. So it seems like she's right on track developmentally. Eagerly awaiting the cannibal mermaid phase.

i just googled karkat and i think its a boy
As someone who got into fic and ended up adjacent to a bunch of homestucks I feel this so very much. (And also as someone who read Little Women approximately one hundred times before the age of thirteen, and finally saw the new movie Sunday - and ugh! so good! - I am living for this.)
