Jilli asked about where David Tennant heard about fanfic: Friday Night Project.
Also, go read: Ten Doctors. It's a web comic about a 10 Doctors (all 10 at once) adventure. It's not completed, but it's just fantastic so far (119 pages.)
Jayne: Here's a little concept I been workin' on. Why don't we shoot her first? Wash: It is her turn.
'Serenity'
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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Trust my rage
That was awesome. I:d love to see the rest of the show. Tennant's face was priceless.

Hey, a question for SGA fanfic readers/reccers. Has "Hindsight" been completely scoured from the web by Rageprufrock's latest flounce out of fandom?

Didn't know she'd flounced all the way out of fandom. Her fic page is still up. Hindsight's here.

Much obliged Calli! The last I'd heard she friendslocked her fic and left behind angry messages telling people not to bother contacting her for access. The first few links I turned up to the story today led to 404 errors, so I assumed everything was still locked down.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
After submitting my fic for spn_summergen and having an "oh shit, shoulda added a line about ______," I've been wondering about the whole unfixed nature of fanfic on the web.
When I submit fic for something like Yuletide, where there's a hard and fast deadline, I'm often working right up to that deadline with barely even time for a spelling and grammar beta. I have no trouble with doing minor fixes after the fact on those fics before posting them to my own or other archives. In this case, though, I think the story could stand a thorough overhaul, with perhaps some sections fleshed out and so on.
Part of me thinks that (other than minor cosmetic tweaking), I should leave things close to as-is. Part of me thinks the story could be a much stronger one for a thorough re-working.
I'm still debating (it's not like there's any rush), but I'm curious to know what other people think. Is overhauling an already posted fic "cheating," or do you consider it one of the perks of posting online?

If I did a serious overhaul, I'd post it as a director's cut or something, rather than just updating what's up there. I mean, spelling errors I'll fix. But whole section re-writes? Nope.

I'm sort-of that way too. Once it's posted, it's "published" in my mind. Changing that changes the story that I put out there.
