At this point, I just kind of want to see people posting more freaking stories.
Seriously. What used to be three ginourmous piles of to be read fic (bedroom, living room, and work) is now down to one pretty small pile at work.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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.
I checked, and the worst thing I had was "gay vampire snuff porn." Does anyone even remember where that joke originated?)

It...it seemed to be a factually accurate but hilariously awful description of stories I was reading. And writing. (And indeed of the Angel-Lindsey-Darla story arc onscreen, amongst other Jossian delights. And of most of Anne Rice's ouvre [pre her Saul-like conversion to writing RPF about the lord Jesus Christ, rather than homoerotic vampires].) And it kind of stuck.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Lee, did you see the rec I posted? Here, I'll repost for the Buffistas:
And Fear the Silence is the Word of God, by Flora Hart. Season 1, set after "Faith". Dean Winchester, and what he believes. Just gorgeous: lovely prose, great insight.
And, what the hell: if there's any of my stuff you missed, it'll be here: [link] (With the possible exception of the Heart post-ep, which I haven't coded and uploaded yet.)

I did! I haven't read it yet, but it is in my to be printed file.

It's very good, but part of me wishes that she'd been able to align it to current canon, or had just left out that disclaimer at the top, because it kept pulling me out of the story.
I guess I'll have to re-read (what a hardship) now that I know where things don't quite align.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
Dana -- I just meant that if all the fandom journals were being reinstated, and it seems now that they have been, there's very good odds that in fact a fandom journal would be reinstated. If there's anything to splutter about in that "half," it's the idea that there might be that many journals actively promoting real pedophilia and incest etc.

Consuela, could you remind me of the name of that author we were talking about at drinks the other night? I seem to recall Rosemary something-or-other, but I'm iffy on the last name and I would really like to find those books. Thanks!

Sail, would it be Edgehill? (spelling possibly different)

Unfortunately, not. That's who I keep coming up with, but it wasn't, which is why it's so frustrating. Argh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Kirstein? The Steerswoman books?
If that's who it is, I LOVE those books. They're what got me journalling on paper again.
As far as Edgehill is concerned, the only thing I've read of hers is Bell, Book and Murder, which Jilli rec'd, and I liked those three a lot.
