The previous thread goes back to 2002. I skimmed it the other day, and it felt like I was looking at an archeological dig. Time moves swiftly on the Internets.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

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.

I've gotten that particular comment many, many times on a number of my one-shots.
"Um, I killed the main characters, I can't do a sequel." "You can bring them back!" "Which negates all the angst and nobility and emotion everyone loves." "But I really like this story."
I suffer from "But what happens next?" syndrome as much as the next person, but sometimes the story's just done, folks.

If I only had a brain...
How do people who write outside the Buffyverse refer to being Jossed?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
It gets a fair amount of pan-fandom usage.

Hey. New board.
What does that term mean, out of curiosity?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You write a lovely fic about Spike's childhood as a street hoodlum. And then Joss comes along and reveals him to have been a pretentious if mediocre twit of a poet. Congratulations, your fic has been unconsensually fucked by canon!
(so named because Joss is a master of the fic-busting plot twist)

Hey. New board.
Ah. Okay. So it's not really something that Joss, specifically, does bad.
EDIT: I bet any background fics written early on in "Lost" fandom were just screwed.

Thrive to spite them
I think it's pretty easy to figure out where in the series Lost fic were written.

Sometimes in Farscape we would refer to it as "Kempered". I like the multisyllabicness of it. But just about everyone knows what "jossed" means.
