I'm looking for Mask & Unbearable by jans_intentions. If anyone has these...would you please PM me?

Thanks!

Edit: *blushes* I think I've opened up a can of worms with this post, but I've read some very healthy discussion going on here!

Just to let you know that jans_intentions took all her stories off LJ and is re-writing them into books to be published.

I buy fanfic repackaged as original fic. I also have Mask and its a very good book, as well as a few more by Jan Irving. Coincidently I never read any of her stories as fan fic as I found the QAF fandom too late, but I have read J2 Stories rewritten as original fic, I also have quite a few books where I also have the fan fic version as well.

I buy the books to support the authors as a) they are very good writers, and b) I want them to continue writing. What you tend to find is once a fan fic writer has moved over to original fic they no longer write anything in fandom, so if you want to continue to read stories written by them you buy the books.

For me its just the same as reading books by other authors who didn't start in fan fic, its no different.
