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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've watched that three times now. It just keeps getting better.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I got all excited at the ST recs, but it turned out I had already read them all. Woe.

Fannish Shit I didn't Say: Because, you know, I joined a new fandom, one in which I'm, you know, a freak, for being Gen Girl in the sea of Vince/ Eric slashiness, but I'm not that bugged about this. I know I'm a freak in a thousand different ways, so that's fine. But I read someone's story and now I'm just dying to say: "I get that you find the task of editing boring, and you might be thinking "What the hell? It's just fanfic." and as long as you get actor and manager together you've done what you wanted. HOWEVER, "eternal" and "internal"? Not even the same word. Not even a little bit. Giving poor Eric "eternal" bleeding is like making him a self-feeding cat dish for Cullens or something...it's wicked distracting. So, I point it out to be nice...how am I now the asshole? I can't promise not to say anything rude about your syntax, but I swear I will always apologize afterward!"

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Oh, honey!

Jeez, why do people get pissy about having typos pointed out? Or about Britpicking/US equivalent? It's helpful, damn it! It's the crit equivalent of helpfully telling someone they've got spinach in their teeth - not like telling them their whole chosen ensemble is fugly.

Wrod. I said "I thought you'd wanna know, because I would." I would die, leaving that there, it would cause me pain like a needle in my non-existent cock. And the fact that I'm a newbie and nobody cared enough to tell me would make me all insecure(it's an E. thing, I think) and thinking that a whole tiny fandom thinks I suck. And I was nice, too, as I blamed it on the spellchecker, not even daring to think that somebody who watches HBO wouldn't know the difference, cause I'm snobbish in weird little ways that don't show.But now my whole little cosmology is blown. I hate it when happens.

But a helluva mental image.

In a blatant attempt at ballot-stuffing since I didn't have time to write a drabble, if anyone wants to vote for Team Peace at McShep Match, I'd be much obliged.

The traffic feature over at Fanfiction.net is seriously cool. I've got people in Hungary and Egypt reading my stuff. I feel all validated.

Edit: India! South Korea!
