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.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

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.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Penknife is writing brilliant (as usual) PoTC fic.

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

I'm rather afraid it might happen, your Jilliness.
If it does, it'll definitely be a PotC/Sandman crossover.
(...and to be honest, plotbunnies are nibbling at my brain as we speak. I was making notes last night, and watching and rewatching my DVDs of the 3 movies to check details of particular scenes. Man, I really do love these films! So many wee details in there to lace them together, both in terms of language and narrative structure - and so many nods to other sources, particularly Monty Python and Blackadder...)

I love you. I really did squeak with glee when I read that sentence.

Got me slavering, too. It's so hard to find good Sandman fic and I can't think of anyone who does it better. Go, write!

OK, some of the hottest, sweetest, defintely the funniest Harry/Draco smut I've ever read.
