Working on a fanfic of a fanfic of a fanart of a fanfic. At this level of recursion, the original source material has become difficult to detect. I understand at seven levels, it becomes Douglas Hofstadter slash fic. (blatant EY joke theft)
I started off writing this in second person imperative, in response to a challenge from a writer friend of mine (e.g. “You are thinking you would never write in second person imperative. Try it anyway. See what happens.”). Not sure I’ll stick with it, though; it works beautifully in some parts, and like chewing aluminum foil in others. Also, I’m guessing it would make it more difficult for anyone who wanted to take the recursion to another level.
It’s not a huge project, probably a few thousand words going by the outline. Thought I might as well post here so as to put a little pressure on myself to actually finish it.
