    Happy Law Day everyone,

    Of special interest to information professionals, law librarians, attorneys
    and paralegals, see just how nutty my sister can be. This is what happens
    when law librarians have too much time on their hands!

    You know who you are. It's happened to the best of us. You've Googled
    something, ended up somewhere else, found an interesting new site, and now,
    oops, you've found yourself a new hobby. I accidentally discovered
    fanfiction.net (a site that hosts stories based on movies, TV shows, novels)
    just this way, back in August or September of 2008. With nothing better to
    do one evening, I browsed around and thought, "Hey, this is kind of fun."
    Next thing I knew, I took the plunge and published my first story, a teeny
    "one-shot" as they like to call it, that I thought up while walking the
    dog.*

    Well, getting good reviews, especially since I hadn't written anything
    remotely creative since the Carter administration, was endorphin-forming.
    So, I tried again. And again. And again. Well, you get the picture.
