    Summary

    “Do you remember why I love the tango?” she asked.

    “…That funky beat?” He was pretty sure he’d responded with that quip last time.

    Their eyes met, and for a moment, the music disappeared.

    She smiled at him, and he thought that it appeared to be genuine. “No, Mr. Fox. It’s because it takes two to tango.”

    Summary

    "Imagine your Tumblr icon reading your fan fiction about them." Now imagine your icon reading it, getting really, really angry about it, and it spiralling out into a massive argument. Imagine subverting common fan fiction tropes by meeting your icon and discovering that actually you LOATHE one another.

    Margaret MacConnor lives an ordinary fannish life, obsessing about pop stars, writing fan fiction on AO3, watching movies and Box Sets of popular television programmes, and doing podcasts and vlogs with her equally geeky and pop culture-obsessed friends. Until one day the man she has been writing fan fiction about discovers her fan fiction, and turns her life upside down.

    Carlos Dengler, reclusive "reformed" rock star, destroyed the cult of his own celebrity, and retired from playing bass for Interpol to go back to school, and become a stage actor. But he becomes obsessed with a fan fiction serial, and is slowly drawn into an intrigue with its creator.

    A story about fandom and fannish life, into which a rock star crashes. It is deliberately written within the form of a 'City Girl Novel'. Oh, and it also features Benedict Cumberbatch in his pants.
