It was brought to my attention last night that I'm now a citation in the Oxford English Dictionary.

In 1997 I wrote an article for Entertainment Weekly on fan fiction. The term has finally bubbled up into the official lexicon. I'm the third cite down on the page: "...Chris Carter may bar X-Filers Mulder and Scully forever from consummating their deep bond—but it's a common fantasy in the archives of fan fiction, where familiar TV and movie characters populate digital poems, scripts, short stories—even full-length novels—that span hundreds of websites and Usenet discussion groups. Readership figures are elusive, but fanfic's America Online index page has collected a half million hits in the past year..."

Me and Shakespeare. Together at last!
