Macaronics and Cheese: August 19, 2012

Montauk, Long Island. (Very early morning.)
Here’s my new favorite campfire game. You divide into two teams.
You decide on a word and then each team takes turns coming up
with songs that have that word in the lyrics. The whole team
(or everyone on the team that knows the song) has to sing the
section of the song that includes the word. The teams go back
and forth until one team runs out of songs and they lose the round.
A new word is selected. Easy words: girl, boy, heart, life.
Medium level: blue, fly. Advanced: open.

Tributaries: Fan Fiction

Fan Fiction
A friend of mine forwarded me this link and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. I’m pretty sure “Archive of Our Own” is a site for fan fiction and this particular entry seems to be a piece based on the TV show “Teen Wolf.” The catch? This author finds a connection between some of the characters on the show and my poem “B.” He or she explains:

“Okay, this started because of this piece by Sarah Kay. There was a line in it that makes me think of Sterek so so much, the whole thing got me thinking about Stiles and his relationship with his mom, and then, yeah, this happened.”

I have never seen Teen Wolf before, so I don’t know anything about any of the characters referenced, but the general concept of fan fiction fascinates me. Click the graphic above to read the piece.
