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.

Because books.

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.

Thanks! They're really too much. And very, very pretty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I seem to have fallen rather madly in love with fanon!Damian from the Batfamily. I have been suckered in to buying comics with him in, just to see if canon really matches up in any way. So far, and it's not that far, yes it does.

But fanon!Damian is amazing. He's prickly and homicidal and loves kittens and Colin and is cute as all hell.

I've been a Batfamily fan for a while, but I lapsed for a few years. So it's not like fandom got me whole hog. Still, I was wondering--who out there do you think has the best fanon version, and have you been suckered into watching/reading anything because of a fanon version of a character?

Always Anti-fascist!

My friend Sarken finally finished her AU where Keith Olbermann met Rachel Maddow during his local-sports days. Part one is [link] So far, it's worth waiting for.

So I'm doing this thing where I'm compiling a list of fic recs for this fangirl I met who doesn't know anything about fic: she does fandom a different way. And I thought I would end with a link to the Yuletide archive, sorted in order of hits.

And the very first story on that list, with 30,000 hits, is Wait, Wait, Don't Eat Me. Woot.

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

I don't know of this story. Is that a bad woot or a good woot?

That's a very good woot for Dana, who wrote it.
