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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I feel totally lame too, so we're a matched set. *g*

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I only mentioned it to underline the fact that I genuinely liked the story, and that this response may have shown a lack of literary discrimination on my part, but it definitely wasn't tinged by fangirling.

I think I know how you feel. I don't like every story that really popular fic authors write, and I get defensive when people assume that I'm -- er, to put it bluntly -- sort of brainlessly following the crowd.

As Dana said, Cesca is a force of nature and I imagine that not everyone finds her as entertaining as I do.

As noted above, Sweet Charity is live. Bid on a hapless writer or artist or vidder or knitter and make them follow your orders!

I'm up there, but what's pretty exciting, I think, is the number of good vidders who can be had for a relative steal, considering the prices that get paid in the Vividcon auction.

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

I think that for me, the best story in SGA fandom is a tie between Martha Wilson's Retrograde series, which is awesome plotty crossover comfort-fic, and M.'s Your Cowboy Days are Over, which is critical thinky post-colonial deconstruction of the Atlantis mission. With porn.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

As long as we're plugging Sweet Charity, note that yours truly has knitting -of-your-choice up, and I note a number of other Buffista names I recognize are also offering fic and whatnot.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Is it too late to sign up to contribute? As in, to offer to write something?

Anne -- alas, yes.

I'm also doing Sweet Charity. I offered three pieces. May the fic gods give me strength.

I need to stop bidding on people.

Anne, this is a recurring event, so you can easily sign up next round.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

It's a weird feeling to discover a story you'd completely forgotten you ever wrote, isn't it? I would have sworn I'd never written Buffyverse.
