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.

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...

Does anyone else get nervous when posting a story in a new fandom?

Pretty much every time, yeah, so it happens to me on a regular basis.

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.)

If I only had a brain...

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

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.

Someone wrote me fic! Me! I feel special. And not in the way I usually do. So now I have to tell people to go and read it. John, Rodney, and what I did last weekend, for my sins.

Went to fanfiction.net for inspiration for my yuletide story. Nothing's happening. What was I thinking?

(Actually, I know what I was thinking -- "Oh, I can write that character." But then I should have specified that character. Only my own fault, but... this is hard! I hate hard. Hard sucks.)

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

What fandom is it, love? (Or can't I ask?)
