at lunch the other day...

Bob: "So what do you call it when you write fanfiction but it's not for any particular fandom? Like, it's fanfiction but it's for a fandom you made up?"
Me: "Um, regular fiction?"

I HEART MY FRIENDS SO MUCH, GUYS, SO MUCH.

The best part of this is that as I was DYING OF LAUGHTER moments later, my brother walked up and was all, "what's this all about, then?" and so I had to tell him and he gave us this "WTF, YOU CRAZY" look while Bob epically facepalmed. Then the brotherman shook his head and walked into the sunset away to the cafeteria lines with the food and whatnot.
