Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

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 haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

the lack of any D.I. Boyd/D.C.I. Tanner fic is killing me.

Right? Right? Oh, yeah.

Right? Right?

Now I have to buy this so I can go back and see if they ever mentioned D.I. Boyd's first name. If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

I was pretty sure Tanner called him Jack once in the interview room, so that's well and good. Man, I could watch Boyd watch Tanner all day long...

I blame you, too.

Yay, blame!

I have both series 1&2 on DVD, so if you're balking at the purchase, feel free to give me a holler and I'll be happy to loan them to you.

The price isn't bad, actually. And since I know I like it, I have no problem purchasing it.

I'm balking at the whole "I'm not British enough to write this!" problem. Heh.

I bet we can find people to help with vetting CID (or Special Murder Unit) details.

A Friendly Note To Fic Writers, from Me:

Think very, very carefully when choosing your pseudonym.

    • You may change fandoms, and won't you feel stupid when PikaPikaPika is posting long, angsty West Wing deathfic?
  • Any suggestion that you have any sort of relationship, romantic, carnal, or spiritual, to any characters in the show will push you into the Mary Sue bin. It takes a lot to live down SpikesLittleCutie. Especially when you start writing Mourning Becomes Electra fic.
  • If your name has numbers in it, it isn't original; AOL or LJ or Hotmail is trying to give you a gentle hint. If you put the numbers there to be original, please don't. My typing fingers thank you.
  • It is a kindly thing, once having picked a pseudonym, to carry it with you if at all possible. Some of our heads explode trying to keep track of fiction written by SpikesLittleCutie, E-mail address hatewhedon@aol.com, LJ godimdepressed.
Thank you for your attention.
