Buffistas

Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

It's sort of like popslash for grownups.

Popslash is for grownups!

At the point I entered the board, I was in the process of divesting myself from my given name and putting together SA. For better or worse, that's my name, both on and offline. I suppose I worked too hard to embrace my name to sacrifice it for a pseud.

Always Anti-fascist!

So* tempted to write Doc/Jewel Deadwood fic. But if I want to write for myself, I can just write about my stupid life.

Would anyone read it?

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

For those who remember Martha Wilson's SGA/SG-1 crossover Retrograde (probably the best gen story posted in either fandom in the last year), she's posted a sequel, Recovery. Gen, but for grownups, and full of her trademark plotting, banter, and rock-solid characterizations. Highly recommended.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Seconded. Pretty good stuff.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I think I've been scarred for life:

McKay blanched. "I'm sorry… I'm a genius, but I'm unable to master my heart.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Like McKay ever said "sorry" without irony in his life. I would remember, because I would have howled at his hilarious Canadian accent.

Punishingly Intricate

(probably the best gen story posted in either fandom in the last year)

Stupid Question Time: this has been bugging me for a while but I've been too lazy to ask. What is "gen"?

If I only had a brain...

"gen" is, I think, het with no explicit sex. Opposite of slash. Dana? Shrift?

If I only had a brain...

Ah. My Googling says it's stronger: "gen" means it isn't primarily about a romantic relationship. ''If you take out the romance and the core story isn't affected, it's 'Gen'"
