Hey, I know that I'm all about engaging in public discourse, but if I've decided that someone is actually a flaming nutcase, is it appropriate to not reply to her?Yes.
Also? Hell, yes.
For reasons that Theo states well.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Can I change my vote to an unequivocal yes?

It's in triplicate. Be sure to sign in blood. And don't mind the perpetuity clause. Oh, and we'll be be needing your soul now.
...wasn't using it anyway.
There are times when it behooves one to speak up when two Energy Creatures are going at it and non-ECs are caught in the blowback. Sometimes the best you can hope for is to derail the discussion and draw it back to saner tracks the hard way.
Eh, I've had my say. Not replying to her.
And, in better news: fic rec! The Next Town by Kres. Smart and eerie and cool. Great imagery.
Oooh! Loved the SGA fic, loved the SPN fic and loved the vid.
I mean, yeah, I agree it doesn't have any great emotional whammy, because Atlantis is, you know - Atlantis. But it was stunning. (My God, if it had been Clark/Lex, or a Jossverse relationship it would have killed me. But McShep...yeah. Bless. I heart SGA, but not in an angsty way. More in a Big Gay Penguins way. Mostly.)
Meanwhile, anybody able to point me to good PotC fic? Particularly the surely-inevitable Sparrow/Beckett backstory, or what-Elizabeth-did-next stuff, or Norrington-haunts-the-Dutchman, or Davey Jones/Calypso or...actually, anything, really. Something nice and chewy. Because otherwise I'm going to end up writing it.
Penknife is writing brilliant (as usual) PoTC fic.
I don' t know about third film stories, but I have a decent spread of POTC recs up at sareads.
Norrington-haunts-the-Dutchman,
Oh, I so want to read that.
Because otherwise I'm going to end up writing it.
I vote for this option! Because Fay writing POTC fic would make me very happy.
