You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

I don't know how to describe the fic I'm reccing today, except that it totally blew me out of the water and left me in tears for hours, despite the fact it's ostensibly a happy ending. It's just a must-read in my mind.

Snow Country. STXI, Kirk/McCoy, PG-13.

Summary: Jim dies and arrives in the afterlife to find that "eternity" is a single memory that he must choose from his lifetime. He also meets McCoy -- who died before the first mission ended, and who won't tell Jim why he hasn't been able to move into the afterlife ...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Anyone need an invite to Archive Of Our Own?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Not a facetious question, Dana, assume naivety and inept fumbling with unfamiliar online places. What's the benefit of joining or belonging or being invited to AOOO if one isn't going to post one's own writing there?

There's a thing that tracks your reading history today that I just found. It also lets you mark stories for later.

Eventually, there will be subscriptions, once the code is in place.

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

Even if you don't post fic, you can keep lists of bookmarks and rec lists, subscribe to things (favorite authors, fandoms, pairings, whatev) SOON!, get responses to your comments. I've never posted anything over there, but membership is very worth it even if you primarily use it as a reading site.

I don't write, but have turned into a voracious reader, so if you guys think it would be advantageous to belong to AOOO for that reason than I'd be grateful for an invite if one is still available. My profile address is good.

Oh, in that case sure, if there's any still on offer.

I believe every registered user got an invite today, so there should be plenty.

Bev, you want mine? Profile addy?

I've got you, Morgana.

Brenda, they just did a round of invites to all members, so I'm sure someone else will be along with one very very soon!

Trust my rage

Brenda, I just emailed Morgana but I see now that amych did. Do you still need an invite?
