Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Thank you, Dana!

(I think, as I feel my grip weakening and I continue the slide towards another fandom)

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

(The word she is looking for is vise.)

Alas! "Vice" is an accepted alternate spelling. Which I call letting down the side, but then I've got a more-than-reasonable amount of prescriptivist in me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

"Vice" is an accepted alternate spelling.

Onnly among people who watch lots of reruns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Onnly among people who watch lots of reruns.

Or, oddly, the Brits.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

I've never seen this movie/show...is it like this or not?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Nikita? Like her fic?

Is there a word that means more no than no?

Well, you know, some of those network guys like the white powder a lot. Just thought I'd ask. And people will watch weird shit to see The Foamy People. I've watched Kyle Secor play a farmer twice and get cheated on by Dana Delany in NOLA once.All with his Pacific Northwest voice. I'm not proud, just saying.

Aside from the vast gulfs in characterization, she writes exclusively crack-headed AUs.

I have to see it, then. Bet these fics would make me pee laughing.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have to say that I have never seen Nikita (well, I have seen the movie), and these STILL make me pee laughing. They are funnier than Coupling! (which is my current measure for humor)
