And it kept being funny.  Even after Niles and Daphne themselves got married after (I think) two seasons of being together, it kept being funny.  It only stopped being funny in the show’s last season, when the writers inexplicably decided to turn Daphne into a raging bitch for no apparent reason.  They must have been going for the shrewish-wife/henpecked-husband angle but that doesn’t work with these characters, and it was a misstep. But I loved it anyway.  Hmm.  I wonder if Frasier is on Netflix streaming?  *checks*  Nope.  Oh well.

Who is the MadLori?

I'm Lori. I'm 39, a scientist and a freelance writer. Fanfiction is my drug of choice. This is where I dump all my obsessive fannishness along with whatever else strikes me. At the moment the dominant fandom is Sherlock. That can change at anytime. Be warned. Eye protection should be worn in this area.

You're probably after fic. My fic can be found here at AO3 or here at LJ. The LJ post is more complete for now. Moving fic over to AO3 is a pain in my hinder. I also have some stuff at ff.net under MadLori as well.

I have published one novel, a gay romantic thriller, under my pseudonym. You can buy it here or at Amazon.
