I don't like the insistence that users provide a name in addition to a username. But no, I don't know any other reasons, other than general concern about what they plan to do with the site. I don't want Delicious to be fixed, I just want not to lose my bookmarks. And to have a working extension for Firefox 4.0.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, it's a weak insistence, since my first name and last name are the same as my username. No skin off my nose.
Does anyone know what the fic landscape for Game of Thrones look like? I know there's a kink meme for it, but it's pretty dead. Is the fandom growing up around the show respecting his wishes?

I'm quite sure that fans will not respect GRRM's wishes regarding the show. Show is not novel.
That said, fandoms tend to build up best around media content with a fairly fixed formula and an appealing pair of leads. I don't see GOT having a set formula, although many of the characters are pretty. It'll be interesting to see which way the fans go.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It'll be interesting to see which way the fans go.
So far everyone likes the puppies best.

So I suspect someone linked me somewhere: this morning I got two comments on the same story, both of them going to lengths to point out that the fundamental premise was wrong.

Because books.
Can anyone point me to good Hawaii 5-O fic?

Here's a few to get you started, Amy: [link] They're Steve/Danny, I don't know if you're looking for any particular ship, but these are really good ones.

That's what I want, thank you! I'm watching for the first time all the way through, and my goodness, they are quite in love. And adorable.

Yes, they are! I loves me some Steve/Danny. You might want to check out AO3 for the pairing, it's where I seem to see more of it posted. There may be LJ comms out there for it, but I've been stumbling across it via my Star Trek flist, so I don't know all the best places to find it. Someone on the crack van is reccing H5O right now, too, so you might want to watch that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was about to say you should check PolyRecs, but that update is sitting on my hard drive.
