This amuses me.
Jul. 26th, 2016 07:48 pmI wrote a Ghostbusters (2016) fic about Patty, who I totally love. I think it's influenced by something someone posted on Tumblr, but I can't locate the post to credit the person if it exists. :(
It's also something that's kind of personal - even though I didn't act on the idea for at least a decade, it was a university reference librarian who got me interested in possibly becoming a librarian (and every librarian I've always asked about the topic has been more than happy to talk about their work and what I'd be getting into on the job). I actually have all my coursework for Library Tech, I think, except for the internship class because I didn't want to work at two libraries (one at a time) on top of a 40 hour workweek. And then I switched to being an accounting major, as that does not require an internship. Just a ton of pre-calculus level math (incidentally, my spellcheck does not understand "pre-calculus", and I've confirmed I'm spelling it correctly).
What amuses me is that I wrote a fic about Patty slowly ending up a private librarian and it's gotten more hits in 48 hours than most of my fics get in months (enough to be the second highest hit fic in 2016 for me). I'm not used to writing in such an active fandom! I just love talking about the importance of research and reading (and libraries), and I'm so happy that people want to read about Patty and her growing resource collection.
