Mal ,'The Train Job'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Just a tiny bit from a fic which made me laugh-- nothing like the Nikita woman...
Donna rubbed her dry itchy eyes realizing she had become a Visine commercial. She signed as the words blurred together on the sentence she had been trying to read for the last half hour.
It took me a few moments to realize the person meant sighed and not signed. I think the existance of a deaf person in the West Wing confused me.
Does anyone else get nervous when posting a story in a new fandom?
Depends on the story and the fandom, I suppose.
... but no, not really. I'm arrogant secure enough in my writing not to be really worried I'm going to humiliate myself. My only real fear would be running afoul of canon if I hadn't seen it all.
Which may explain why I tend to go AU so frequently...

Pretty much every time, yeah, so it happens to me on a regular basis.
okay the yuletide assignments have been sent out and I keep checking my inbox but there's nothing there and I really want my yuletide assignment and WHY ISN'T IT HERE?
ETA: Yeah, spam filters. Thank god someone suggested I check my spam filters.
I got mine. Now I'm all, "Oh crap, that's right, I did offer to write that. Why? Man, I can't do that! I wanted to write one of the other ones!"
But I think I'm just whiny today, because people SUCK. But I'm sure it'll work out okay.
(The fanfiction, not people sucking. Because that's likely to get worse.)
Dana, I saw several acknowledgements to a 'Dana' in Highlander fic (Amand'r, among others). Is that you pre-pseud, or is it somebody else's pseud?
Not me. Once I got involved with slash, the pseud made its appearance.
Yuletide assignment has been received. Out of my recipient's four requests, there's only one I know. Fortunately, it'll be a really easy one. I think. Maybe.
Edit: I got off lucky. The gal I beta-read for had someone request mpreg for the one fandom she knows.
