Hmm. I asked my Deadwood-fan friend, and she doesn't know.
If you post a question about it in your LJ, I'd be happy to try and direct people your way.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Thanks, Dana!

I meant to ask this a while back and was reminded by thequestion in Boxed Set about what ZPM means.
I've read several stories where the author writes ZedPM. Sometimes it's when Rodney is talking and sometimes when there isn't dialouge. I alway feel thrown when I see "ZedPM" during his dialouge bits, I know that's what he says but it irks me. Is it just me that gets irked by this?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Irked? Dude, "ZedPM" is the right way to call these things. t bursts into a spontaneous rendition of O Canada

Yeah, but it's sort of like spelling out an accent. We know Rodney pronounces "Z" as "zed". It's not actually written that way, is it?
Right?
I'm suddenly suspicious of all British and Canadian people. Do you go around writing out "zed"?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's the correct verbal rendering, but spelling it out is unnecessary. Yeah, that would be irritating.

Oh, you mean fanfic writers spelling out ZedPM in fic. (Which obviously was what askye meant now that I've stopped having a brain-farty overly-patriotic moment and actually read her post.) Yeah, that's kind of irksome.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, that was written during the part of the day when I thought it was Monday.
The ZedPM thing is kind of like when someone writes out Fraser saying the "left" in lieutnent.
