I never really read slash X-Men. Partly because people would keep bringing in characters from the comics, and it had been so long since I'd read them that I wasn't really interested in them.

I think I would be willing to write in X-Men, except that I can't make heads or tails of comics canon, and would have to write AU from movie canon. (Cannot say what genre I'd be writing.)

I meant comic book X Men. I haven't read a lot of Movie X Men fic, even though I like the movies.

And I was only vaguely aware of some of the comic storylines, I read up on some but some of the fic I was reading as practically stand alone (like Rictor/Shatterstar). And then I read this long schmoopy Iceman/Gambit series that in retrospect was probably really bad. And I wrote my first drabble based on that (which in retrospect was really bad). I think Gudanov beta read for me waaaaay back on TT in the fanfic thread they had.

Colour me grateful for my emphatically Small Name Fan status! I do not love committees, no I do not.

We have plenty of small name fans on our committees, dude! But I'm not trying to recruit.

Shrift, how's the BFA hack? Everything okay?

Now that I download full backups obsessively, it was really annoying, but there was no data loss. I had everything back up and running in 3 about three hours.

And how similar in many ways John Connor is to Sam Winchester.

John Connor is, I'd say, 75% Sam and 25% Dean. (Long lost Winchester? Y/N?) I swear, I was plotting epic SPN/SCC crossover fic by the 30-minute mark.

(Also, I'm not really a femmeslasher, and even I can see the Sarah/Cameron.)

Oh Aimee, it's so heartening to see you so... innocent. Give it time, though.

Man, I think I bloomed too early with my fic reading. I'd been through mpreg to the other side of wingfic by the time I was sixteen. It would be nice to be shocked, still, occasionally, you know?

When I was a child I saw as a child. But now I am a woman, and there are hot men making eyes at each other all over the place.

Connie, may I tag?

Aimee, you should definitely read Tissue of Silver and Things Invisible to See, but I will admit a strong devotion to Transformations (and its sequels: Nights-Blooming Heartsease and Repairs); it's one of those stories I go back to time and time again.

I'm also very fond of momenti diversi, and Blue Vase, which is neither an easy nor particularly nice story, but nonetheless brilliant.

Additionally, I am all about the Harry/Ron/Hermione, of which there is minimal good fic (or at least, this was so prior to DH; given Recent Events this may have changed), so if that interests you at all let me know, and I'll throw some more links at you.

RE: Het pairings, it has come to my attention recently that in the last two years or so I have as many, or slightly less, het pairings as I do slash. This surprises the hell out of me. And it saddens me that I don't have very many at all femslash pairings. There are reasons why that is, I think, but sad nonetheless. F/F needs love too.

There are sequels?!?!? Oh, boy.

Warning: "Night-blooming heartsease" is a gorgeous story, because it's written by julad, but make sure you know what you're getting into going in.
