Will someone please tell me the name of shalott's real book, and also the name she published it under? Thanks in advance!
Also, I read the Care Bears S&M story and am now SCARRED FOR LIFE.
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
edited for discretion:
email me ( thingsinvisibletosee at gmail dot com) and I'll give you the link to her official site. Isn't the cover of the first book pretty? Not that I (entirely) judge a book by its cover, of course. No no. I judge a book by the fantastic porn fanfic already produced by its author.
pauses to consider.
That actually sounds a trifle too dismissive; although God knows she can bring teh hot like nobody's business, my affection for her writing is due to its impact on my heart and head more than my libido. Having a hard copy of a bona fide honest-to-god published novel by Shalott here in my hot little hands...it is the source of considerable joy. I bounced and squeed involuntarily when I spotted the book in the shop (searching for it without any great optimism, as I was fairly sure it wasn't due out until January, and it's only a medium-sized bookshop),and then seeing it displayed on its own wee shelfy thing). I was beaming like a Cheshire cat at the salesgirl. Couldn't help it.
Now I just want to be able to walk into Waterstones and buy Herself's forthcoming novel (some of which I've already read, and, damn, it's GOOD) and my little cup will brim right over.

Given that she's asked more than once not to have her real-name work associated in public online fora with her fanfic name, you might want to edit those posts, Fay.

D'you think? I was careful with my wording - it's not something that would show up in a search. Still, better safe than sorry, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
shalott's book is quite good on its own merits, fwiw. She made me cry. And it is interesting to see the characteristics of her fic translated into original work.

Yes -- I recognized the rhetorical move in the final paragraph as one I've seen her use in her endings before, and I appreciated it all the more for that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Is it too much to ask that people put spoiler warnings on their fic? (And no, "Through Season 2" is too vague, since it doesn't say =where= in season 2 and some of us haven't seen the eps that have aired in Canada)
