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

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.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

True, but I don't think this girl is cool.

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.

Season 5? Craziness. Specially since I stopped watching after Season 2. I said the same thing to vw about the previews. That's not what we want to see. Not least because it's got Lana in it anywhere.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Season Five? We're already up to Season 5????

Wow. Wow, I've been a Buffista for longer than some of the kids I've been working with have been alive.

Wow.

(Cue nostalgia about the Grand Old Days of Clex Season One.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

As he settled into the plush leather seat and promptly fastened his seatbelt, Michael’s sepia flashbacks paid an unexpected visit.

How very convenient that his brain has a "sepia" setting.
