Given that I'm a sucker for time travel and all that, I wanted to recommend some fics to anyone who also likes 'em. In the Harry Potter fandom, an author named DrT has been writing a fair number of HP time travel fics - warning: some are sexually explicit and/or make oblique reference to sex acts. If you can handle that, I particularly recommend "The Younger Potter Twin", as it's set in the 1970s and is relatively tame by his standards. In the original fic-dom, I want to note that I ran across "Do Over" in which, apparently, the main character is stuck as a teenager with adult knowledge. :) (warning - slash)

They're probably really trying to take over the world and we literate people are out of the loop." - Latch, on fanbrats and bad spelling.

It's an original fic.

(Unless you count things such as "OMG, were in the outsiders!" where they just happen to fall asleep to the movie end up in the book, find someone from the gang and become friends with the gang...blah blah blah. ) I might have to go read some of these.

I think you pimped me out twice in this thread. Which is fine by me. ;) Side Note: I love saying 'pimpage' though I don't like that damn red squiggle underneath it telling me its not a word ^o)

There is indeed. I do believe it's by Peter Frampton and on his "Frampton Comes Alive" album. Not to mention it was featured in one of the Wayne's World movies. :P
