I nominated Yahtzee's "Goodnight Moon." There are quite a few stories I'd pick over it as my favorites, but I've never run across anything better written.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

3 day-old coffee: I don't know if anyone besides me is still eager for good SGA fic, but I recently read "Sheppard's Law" by Cesperanza and was bowled over by it: [link]

Always Anti-fascist!
It's tragic, Consuela, and novel-length, but it really made me see fanfic in a new way. I've always been sad that I've not been able to give the author props for it. (Older archive, before my time)

Anyone who likes epic AU totally angsty and whumpy SPN should know that Oselle finally finished Lazarus Comes Forth. It's an alternative version of how Dean gets out of hell, and it's quite spectacular. She's Oselle on LJ, and the top post should have all the links.

Okay, scrolling through my friends list and looking for fic to read. And I see a post that is apparently part 9 of something, and is itself 142,000 words. Whoa. I'm always on the hunt for long fic, but jesus.
It's not my current fandom obsession, so I don't know yet if I'm going to go back and check out what came ahead. I'm still just a little agog.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm fairly confident in saying that almost *nothing* should be that long. I can think of maybe three writers I'd trust with that kind of length.

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