Bert is tall and Ernie is bratty.
Sorry, Captain. I'm real sorry. I shoulda kept better care of her. Usually she lets me know when something's wrong. Maybe she did, I just wasn't paying attention...

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.

Now, Anne of Green Gables? We were ALL OVER that.
I just finished rereading the first three books on my (new-to-me) Kindle. They're so nostalgically domestic. I love that late-80s miniseries they did, too, although the many-years-later sequel is an abomination.

How do you like your Kindle btw? I'm flirting with the idea of getting an eBook reader but the choices out there are confusing. Is Kindle overall superior to Nook? I'm trying not to look at iPad 'cause, hello, expensive!
It's a bit off topic but... wait, no! I can read fic on Kindle! So not really off topic, right?

OK, to be more on topic, I just watched Inception again to try out my new Blu-Ray player (*preeeeeeens* SO SHINY!) and I am jonesing for some fic, in particular featuring Mal and the notion that Cobb may be still dreaming and Mal's alive. Or something that plays with the notion of unreliability of reality within that verse. I looked around, and 95% of what's out there seems to be Arthur/Eames, and while I liked both characters fine, it's not really what I'm looking for. Anyone has recs?
... er, better spoiler-font that bit in case there are folks around here who haven't seen the movie yet.

I like it okay. It's a series 1, so it's a bit bigger & clunkier than the new ones, but it comes with the wireless, which I like. I haven't yet tried to put any fic on it, although I saw a friend comment that she changes the title of any fic she puts on her Kindle to something that starts with "z.", so that it's always at the end of the list and any random person won't see the fic. I like that idea.
Anyway, apparently I can either email fic to myself through the Amazon interface, or upload with a USB cable, right?

I have not had great success with fic on my Nook, but I've only tried in PDF format, which has done strange things with linebreaks. I haven't looked at AO3's new epub feature yet, because I'm getting most of my stuff off LJ, with the occasional PDF conversion.
However I adore my Nook to pieces.

Getting stuff off AO3 on my Kindle has been very easy.

I have lots of fic on my Nook, but I send it through Calibre first for the epub format. Though sometimes weird things happen to spacing. Nooks are love.

Yes. The USB cable is easier and better in my experience; for one thing, the email-it-to-yourself method tends to use your email address as the author's name, which tends to be confusing.
