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.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

Am I remembering correctly that someone wanted a SPN/Chuck crossover (or am I just losing my mind)? Anyway, if so, here's a short fic: Secrets, Spies, and Computer Science.

It was a shame he’d discovered Sam’s big secret identity with only six months left to live, because, really, the mocking possibilities were endless. He found a website with a Get Smart ring tone for Sam’s phone that night while Sam was still busy freaking the fuck out over Dean figuring the whole thing out. By the next morning he’d managed to make five SD-6 references, and one Recruit one that was pretty impressive, if he did say so himself.

“Would you shut the hell up about it already?” Sam finally snapped when Dean made a big show of making sure the bathroom wasn’t bugged before taking a shower.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ganking from gchick's LJ: Ad Astra, by taraljc. New!Trek Spock/Uhura, the beginning. I am doing some completely illogical handflailing at the monitor to express the awesomeness of the story.

Writing question about publicity for my fanfic: Character A is an up-and-coming actor, attractive but not yet crazy-famous...he's "Hey, it's That Guy!" famous, but maybe a bit more cause he's cute. He's started a fling with Character B, who, as a prominent doctor, is no stranger to the media, but who mostly ends up using it to apologize for the crazy diagnostician on her staff. If his publicist does a publicity rollout after the story leaked slowly from the internet, what does their life look like? Because I don't want to create Beatlemania if it's not, and I have no idea how to search this thoroughly enough to please the anal mods at little_details.

Dear Person Who Shall Remain Nameless,

If your comment to my fanfic is going to begin: "One of the great problems i have of being so very very well read is..." then it would behove you to ensure that your criticism hinges upon a sound knowledge of the whole soliloquy from which my title is lifted, and a careful consideration of how it might pertain to the story, rather than simply having recognised "the quote" [sic], by which you mean the clause that precedes the phrase I've used for my title.*

Also? If you're going to set yourself up as this guru of literary knowledge in your opening line, and talk down to dumb little me, it might bolster your position of authority if you actually, you know, use capital letters, commas, full stops and apostrophes in the traditional fashion. Not to mention grammar. Just a thought.

t /bitch

*said title does not demand intimate knowledge of the soliloquy, incidentally - it's perfectly effective on a literal level as related to events in the story, but if you happen to know the context then it also works as a red herring that implies (as the story initially does) that one of the characters is dead; and if you know the soliloquy, then there are a SHITLOAD of resonances between what Hamlet's concerns are, and what my characters' concerns are. It's not that she doesn't have a point, though - if you have a shallow knowledge of the source of the quotation, then it implies that character X is dead. (Which is what the narrative also implies.) But this? Is not an unfortunate side effect of her being "so very very well read' and me being an ignorant slob with a bumper book of quotations. It's a side effect of her being less well read than she seems to think. And it's an intentional side effect. So it would be a good idea for her to not bombard me with half a dozen well-meaning but really rather impolite comments about the inadequacy of my title.

What a knobwank... write back "I'll get right on that. After I have needles placed in my clit." (/Chick!Ari) No worries, Fay...was curious if we have any PR-istas. Cause I took one class, which got me to: "Steak good. Sizzle pretty!"

Art Crawl!!!

Something is making me wonder if there are any True Blood/SPN stories out there.

Or Being Human/Primeval

Or Being Human/Torchwood

Or Primeval/SPN

Or a huge mash up of all of those shows.

Primeval/SPN. Hmm. It does make me wonder why the anomalies only open in the UK.

Connor would think Dean was terrifyingly cool. And Dean would be unable to stop hitting on Sarah and Abby. And Sam would geek out with Connor and Sarah. And Lester would hate them both.

Anyone need some cheering up?

This might do it for you.
