I am reading Tam Lin by Pamela Dean. It's an excellent book, but what I find really neat is this: when Pamela was in college in 1970 (just like the heroine of her book), Tam Lin the movie was out in theaters. I'd like to propose the theory that in 1970, young college girl Pamela Dean started writing a Tam Lin AU fanfic. And twenty years later, she had dusted it off and/or rewrote it for the 1,000th time, and finally got it published.
Next on my list: The Perilous Gard by Elizabeth Marie Pope, which, I am told by Wikipedia, is another retelling of Tam Lin..
