Black Books has possibly the funniest pilot ever.

Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Word.
I think it's particularly appropriate that in my attempts to put off going in to work to do all the stuff I really should have done at the BEGINNING of the week off, rather than leaving it to the Sunday, I wrote Black Books fanfic. I mean, I didn't make myself a lovely jacket out of receipts, or pair my socks, or invite the Jehovah's Witnesses in for a chat - or indeed resort to housework (for in this Bernard and I are as one), but I did read an entire novel, and then write some Black Books fanfic, before finally going into work at 3pm. (Having sprung lithely out of bed at 6.45am, full of good intentions to go to the gym, make a healthy breakfast and get straight to work...)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I did not know this (from the imdb trivia page)
Bernard is inspired by a real bookshop owner in Dublin whom Dylan Moran described as "he looks like he's swallowed a cup of sour milk and peed himself at the same time. He has this green bilious expression, years of displeasure have shaped his face".

Considering the other characters who have been inspired by real people (The Goon Show's Bluebottle, based on a shop owner; the eponymous 'hero' of Fawlty Towers, to name but two), I wouldn't be surprised if several the great writers of the next century were now hanging out on lj in bad_service.

Yuletide signups are open!
(And, er, Suela, if you come here, I apparently meant that I could use your help in the Buffista Fic thread. I'm looking for a link.)

Dana, I couldn't find where you needed my help? What were you looking for?
(and now I'm going to bed and won't be reading B.org again until probably tomorrow night, sorry!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Looking for a story where (whitefonting) Sam Tyler turns out to be a Time Lord in disguise, with the whole watch thing. I know I got there on your rec, and you commented on it, but I don't have the link any more, and Kate P. is looking for it.

Oh, my god, Suela. I'm insane. The conversation was in Boxed Set. I'm sorry for not actually *checking* which thread I was in.

Dana, are you sure? I don't remember reccing that story. I hardly read any DW or any LoM for that matter...
In any event, I would recommend searching Delicious for something tagged DW and crossover; you may find it.
