Just finished Stranger than Fanfiction by Chris Colfer and had some very mixed feelings about it. It wasn't necessarily bad and I liked some of the characters, but it was on the fanciful side of it and I didn't care much for the way he wrote the girl who wrote fanfiction (basically she was using fanfiction to drum up an audience in hopes of getting a book deal someday).
Although I did find it amusing about the way he wrote certain characters that were definitely based on his fellow cast members on Glee, like Lea Michele as the self centered actress briefly mentioned in the book.

Also finished Kate Beaton's graphic novel memoir Ducks. It was a good but heavy read about her working on an oil rig after finishing college; including Beaton's experience with misogyny and sexual assault - as well as the issues with mens mental health in an isolating job, exploitation of workers and environmental issues in the surrounding area.
Speaking of Kate Beaton, I'm glad to see that her Hark! A Vagrant comics are still available online - although I didn't know that she stopped making them around 2018.

Thanks for sharing, anon.

I've not read any of Chris Colfer's writing, but I do appreciate any and all digs at Lea Michele.

I just realized that I misread the thread and thought it was about books, not fanfiction. I might need to go to bed.
