the workings of fanfic are strange

Somehow I find it amusing that the idea that Blair really knows how to fly helicopters, that appeared first, iirc, in jacquez's Dog Tag series, has made it into the list of fanfic themes at the Cascade Library, together with categories like amnesia stories, stories about Jim and/or Blair with children, etc.

I still remember the discussions about the story when it was first published, and how many found it a not very believable reading of canon. Now it's a subgenre (albeit a small one). The workings of fanfic are strange indeed.
