Belated December meme: Me and the English language

desireearmfeldt asked: "How did you come to end up in English-language/American-media-centric fandom?"

I've already talked about my fannish history in general elsewhere, so I'm choosing to focus on the word "English" here.

Wilby Wonderful rec

Just wanted to rec a story that probably got lost in the holiday rush for a lot of people, since it wasn't part of a gift exchange: The Right Place at the Right Time by desireearmfeldt. It's a Wilby Wonderful AU where Duck is the one who is suicidal, and does a great job of shuffling events around and reinterpreting them. Despite Duck considering suicide, I think it's a happier story than canon--the way she remakes the bit where Dan is lying unconscious in the closet under the stairs will really make you smile.
