I send links to things with the subject of Trainrec.
That is brilliant.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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.

And the Big Bang stories are being posted. This is Refur's and it is wonderful. Awesome Sam, and stellar Dean and Bobby voices.

Big Bang stories? What are these?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, Jesus. My mind, she is providing myriad possible answers. I suspect that the real answer is perhaps a trifle less pornographic or cracktastic. Although not neccesarily, fanfic being fanfic.

I'm right with you, Fay. Fandom has truly finished the job of warping my mind.

Big Bang stories? What are these?
Large stories. I'm sure the definition varies from fandom to fandom, but usually at least 10,000 words.

vanguard of the socialist Hollywood liberal homosexualist agenda
For SPN and bandom this year, the limit was 20,000 words. Signups were in January, and the stories were due at the beginning of May.
I'm not sure what all fandoms have one.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There is an unbelievable amount of stuff up for auction here:
Tons of fanfic, but also jewelry, books, baked goods, language lessons, critiques by published authors (like Elizabeth Bear and Rachel Manija Brown) -- just tons of cool stuff.
It's a fannish fundraiser for equal marriage rights. "The auction will raise money for the fight against the California initiative which will legally destroy existing same-sex marriages and ban any further ones. If the initiative passes, it will write discrimination into the state constitution, annull existing marriages, and make Mr. Sulu cry."

One of the best stories I've seen in some time. [link]
The Kids Are All Right, a character study of Tony Stark (Iron Man) as a Vanity Fair article. Also, a fairly devastating geopolitical analysis, to boot.
SGA folks: this is the same writer who gave us Your Cowboy Days Are Over, if that helps.
