Oh, steepholm, I love you. This came up on my flist on the same day as a very annoying and ill-thought-through fifty-commented rant about how it would be CRAZY to call anything fanfic that wasn't produced, I don't know, in the twenty-first century on Livejournal (if you're interested in how to justify your opinions about genre, incidentally, it seems you can do it by going BECAUSE THE CONVENTIONS ARE DIFFERENT - which is much like BECAUSE THEY'RE WRITING FOR A DIFFERENT COMMUNITY a la Ansible - and then insulting everyone who disagrees with you: that would have shut your kettle up!). But you are, as ever, so much more interesting.

I don't know why Hamlet is not a ghost story! It's like the difference between YA fiction and (adult)-fiction-with-a-teenage-protagonist, innit, that strange and shifting conjunction between content and genre/form...
