I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

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.

Thrive to spite them

I only remember it because I read the darker version first and didn't realize there was a fluffy version until I saw the rec for them both.

Since my friend EJ wants fic and doesn't have internet access at home I'm trying to get her stories to read so I've been looking through rec lists lately, I flagged those two as not for her. She's the Sam/Jack fan, she prefers het to slash, butwill read SGA slash. Her fic wishlist is: Sam/Jack, Sara/anyone (but Catherine) for CSI, Cameron/House, Abby/anyone (NCIS), and some West Wing pairing, also River/Jayne only for Firefly.

Thanks askye! It was driving me crazy trying to remember.

Askye, I assume you pointed her to my (very short) list of reliable Sam/Jack writers? It's basically the folks on Nandamai's flist, and nobody else. And Nanda just posted a great Sam/Jack, a followup to "Salvage".

Oh, SGA rec: CGB (aka Mandysbitch on LJ) wrote a kickass plotty Atlantis story that spins away from canon near the end of season 1. It's also McKay/Sheppard. It's linked right off her LJ.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Plenty of cool Christians in fandom. But according to her user info yankee_hater is interested in something called "chrisitanity" which is a new, possibly heretical sect.

It kept me up for an hour after my bedtime last night. Excellent story.

True, but I don't think this girl is cool. And I would say that Christians who are socially/politically conservative and willing to admit it are a pretty small minority in fandom. I could be wrong about that.

Consuela, I think I checked out your list, but I've looked at so much recently it gets fuzzy. I did find Nanda's stories.

Actually, I need to ask what the etiquette is for getting stories for her. she doesn't have any internet access at home so I was going to copy some stories for her (with full headings and contact information so she can write feed back from work). Is this okay to do? Some of the stories I've saved for myself as well so I can read them offline.

Oh, I don't disagree with you here. I was mostly taking the opportunity to mock her on something that folks beat me to in the original lj commentary.

Totally. Fic isn't like vids, and I think most people are fine with you saving to hard drive or printing out stories for later. That is, after all, what happens with a mailing list: all those stories end up on people's hard drives.

I get twitchy when people archive on the web without permission, but not saving to their hard drive. I found a story of mine posted in full on someone's AOL journal the other day, without any comment, just sitting there -- headers and all. Still have no idea why -- I dropped a note asking them about it but they never replied. t shrugs
