Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Pick something you know, but haven't ever had a chance to write in! This is a ficathon for stretching those creative-writing muscles, and we know that you can do it! You are allowed pick up to THREE prompts - your own or someone else's - so long as it's in a fandom that's new to you, writing-wise!

Anyone still on the Silverlake list?

Anyone know where the archive's gone since Jenny-o's domain disappeared?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I'm still on the list, but I don't get the mails.

I *thought* Kate had parked it somewhere on one of her sites. The LJ comm is still there, I think, and may have links.

Vid rec: [link]

It's Keen Eddie. I've never even seen an episode. This vid is just so freaking adorable that it doesn't matter. It debuted at Pacificon this weekend, and was a smash hit despite the fact that, like me, most of us were unfamiliar with the fandom.

I'm still on the list. Someone even brought up the question of "where has the archive gone?" Nobody's answered yet.

Ok, so if Dr. House had a Slayer he was doing tests on, what sort of tests might seem most important? If, say he liked her and wasn't purposely looking to give poor Cuddy a heart attack by breaking all her fingers and watching how quickly they spring back?

Endurance? Like those stress tests they do with patients whose lungs or hearts seem to be failing? Or possibly just because they're sadistic and like watching sick people on a treadmill.

Someone remind me that I don't actually want to sign up to write a Slings and Arrows story with Geoffrey and Darren in a musical.
