This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Ann Coulter fan, bad speller, Christian, homophobe, high school student.

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.

Thrive to spite them

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

I figured it's okay, but suddenly I doubted myself. I realized the other day that I've been reading fanfic for longer than thought...actually it was the ads for Season 5 of Smallville. (It's really season 5? God. Totally misleading ads, they are not giving us what we want, we want to see Lex and Clark having sex!)

Also, yesterday, I found myself explaining 15 feet of Alien Cock Tree to my mother. I can't even remember why, but I did.

Punk posted a Due South story. It has a kangaroo in it.
