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'm sorry, Matt. If I had known you missed it, I would have mentioned it.

It's a kick to watch online, but in a room full of 100 people, and in the middle of a largely somber and serious Premieres show, it KILLED.

It helps that when that list of the 50 most awesomely bad songs came out with "We Built This City" as #1, my reaction was "I LOVE THAT SONG!" Here, it is used perfectly.

Especially with the Wraith queen screaming at just the right time to hit that note...

Me too! I feel guilty about it, but it's so awesomely cheesy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Is there some sort of etiquette/rules for posting fanfic in your LJ?

Aimee, if you've read any fic, then you know the basics. Post the title, rating, pairing, use a cut-tag, indicate whether it's complete or part 1 of X. If you want more attention, it often helps to post an announcement to one of the communities, like spn_gen or sga_noticeboard.

Thanks, Suela. I think I'm just gonna go f-list for now. It's my first fic. I totally changed it from how I wrote it the first time and wanted to post it and shut up about it. I'm really quite scared it's going to be total rubbish.

I also really like it when people post the fandom. There are way too many Jacks and Sams and Dans for me to intuit which one it is, man!

I still feel like I need to apologize before posting stories a good 75% of the time.

I now have a twisted urge to write a blindingly huge crossover, solely for the purpose of massive amounts of name confusion.

(It's possible I shouldn't even let my muse out of the house.)

Good catch, Shrift. Aimee, here's the tag for my most recent fic posts on LJ. I don't do pairings mostly, but otherwise that's about how you'd see them.

Oh, and sometimes it's nice to put a word-count there, as a courtesy.

So I caved and read Shalott's HP/SPN Wincesty crossover. And having to squint and scroll past the Wincest was more than made up for by the Hogwarts ghosts staging a protest about the ghost-killing Winchesters in attendance, and Dean bonding with the goblins, and getting sorted into Hufflepuff, and basically being completely unimpressed with the wizarding world. Sam, of course, is Slytherin. Hah!

That was, in fact, very funny.
