You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

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.

Betsy--House?

Mine was McKay/Shep

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.

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

is there a good archive for the GA fic yet, or does anyone have recs?

Always Anti-fascist!

I always do, Betsy. But my absolute favorite love scene I ever wrote contained the phrase "Because I love you, you idiot!" so maybe I'm not the one to ask. And, yeah, is a big problem for a lot of House fics.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm afraid I don't have a link to it handy, but one of my favorite meta-fics involved Methos reading a super-schmoop story about his character and editing it heavily. I think his sword was involved in the edits at one point. And the word "eviscerate".
