Tragedy is fine, even good, as long as the characters are developed enough
within the fic
that I can grok it. A lot of fic really relies on previous knowledge to be enjoyed, even the best stuff.
I'll put it on my palm and check it out at some point. Of course, between last night's recs in here and in Bitches, I now have something like 20 novels on there.
Oh, mos def! That's why I think it's so brilliant. It's what changed my mind about fanfic just being, well, to entertain the man in the boat, so to speak.
Oh, *crap*, yuletide is due in two weeks.
Cue flailing. I'll save rending of garments for next week.
D., I read Cesperanza's Chicago's Most Wanted having only the barest knowledge of DueSouth, but I laughed all the way through it anyway. It's slash, but it's really more of a madcap comedy involving amnesia and prison-breaks. All you need to know going in is that Fraser is a very polite and well-behaved Mountie, and Ray is his oft-frustrated Chicago cop partner.
I sneer at your Yuletide flailings. I have sg1teamficathon due on the 14th. I've already started and abandoned one story, and am almost halfway through on the second. No way was I doing a 10,000-word story when the novel is yet unedited.
I have my Yuletide fic halfway written, but I am
not
happy with it. I've also signed up for another fic exchange for one of my anime fandoms (Bleach) because I am clearly out of my mind.
I'm never doing another fic exchange, I suspect. I have deadlines all over me at work, and fandom is for fun. I don't need the extra stress.
Oh, that's a great rec Consuela. Totally seconding every word.

After last night, I have my Yuletide fic halfway written, and I'm ambivalent about it. Situation normal!

w00t!
Heh. I haven't had a fandom eat my brain like this in a long time. How far are you along in the series, BTW?
I'm kind of excited. Somebody just invited me to nominate my fic for an award. It's a first for me.
Which one should I pick?
