On Tina Brown, Fanfiction And Princess Diana: Nine Observations

The difference between acceptable fanfiction and terrible, horrible, no good, very bad stuff like “Diana at 50” is simple. Fanfiction, in my limited understanding, is about elaborating on the lives of fake people.

But isn't that Tina Brown's real gift to us? She's created the fictional Diana so very necessary to all our future fan fictions. I'm working on some Diana/Christopher Reeve slash right now.

On 14 Serial Killers Who Were Never Captured, In Order Of How Frightening Their Media-Created Names Are

Neither Jack the Ripper nor Zodiac was named by the media, but rather named themselves (or were named by hoaxers claiming to be the killers) via letters to the media and/or authorities.
