Dear Ficcers of the World,
If a relationship is canonically entirely based on snark, do not write it full of schmoop. Thank you. Love is all very well, but it can be quite adequately expressed through mutual abuse.
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.
'Serenity'
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.

If I only had a brain...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think that vid's on last summer's Vividcon set. I don't remember who made it.
Par Avion. LJ is paraviondeux. You could also check the vividcon LJ memories.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ta, Perkins.
It is cute. Perhaps even more of a rewatch motivator, probably because I felt it did Gunn less justice, and so I need to watch him more.
But still fun.

Betsy--House?
I'm saddened that my first thought wasn't Angel/Lindsey. How did it come to this?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
We can make a list. Because I can think of several major pairings in several fandoms that fall prey to that problem.

I was at Mckay/Shep myself. But I have no problem with the premise deliquescing into a bit of schmoop. But it has to be traced from one stage to the other, and retain characteristics thereof.

Ditto here, but I don't know when that took over as my default slash pairing.
I suppose in addition to the huge volume of stuff available this past year, there's the fact that I like the characters better in fanfic, which was not true of the Whedon characters.
