Thanks for the link to the video - I've put it on my Zune to watch when I'm on the road this weekend ... we're going home. I'm quite familiar with Apache Junction. We're from Globe. It's a small world, huh?

Thanks for the book recs, too. I'll tell my daughter about them ...

Interesting thoughts on the slashiness of gen fic. I think most of it - if not all of it - can probably be viewed as slash, pre-slash, or pre-pre-slash, like you've said!
