Yes, I saw you had been looking at reviews of "Carry On" -- "Fangirl" is one of the books I've been meaning to review for a long time (along with "To Ride Hell's Chasm"), and I was actually shocked to gather that the improbably-named author had gone so far as to *publish* her Simon Snow fan-fiction, which seemed when I heard it to be the ultimate rip-off.
(Also, the actual quoted text of the 'original' Simon Snow books in "Fangirl" -- not so much Cath's fanfic -- struck me as toe-curlingly mediocre, which I assumed was deliberate parody of that style of writing. Endless descriptions of eye colours, etc...)
