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.

Bwah ha ha! I'm half surprised kittens wearing bows didn't spill out of my monitor when I clicked the link!

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

Spats, motherfucker. Spats.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I think I spit on my monitor looking at it.

She's hideously, ridiculously talented, but there's no way her body mass can be large enough to contain the amounts of saccharine she seems to thrive on. But, I bitch about that, and then she kills Castiel or has them roleplaying priest/angel, so it's all good. I just have to pace myself.

That was ... treacle-y. Wow.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Tonight's experience: That awkward moment when you figure out that the WiP that posted a new chapter was not the one you thought it was. Makes conversations between characters very confusing.

Speaking of being unable to tell which fic is which, I really dislike it when fics either use some obscure song lyric as the summary, or the first sentence of the fic, and neither gives you anything substantial to hang onto the fic as a whole, or even onto the very first chapter.

I know summaries are hard (and my god, am I ever regretting mine and am trialing new versions in private), but even a shite summary with relevant specifics is helpful. Especially when updates are few and far between.

Also, a summary of: he gripped him tight and raised him from perdition. There's a story there. This is it.

Not helpful. I've seen a multitude of variations on the story of X pulling Y from Hell. As cool as it sounds, it's not distinctive in the fandom.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I could maybe see it if you're posting the whole thing at once. But if you're WiPing it (WiP it good*), yeah, I need to know which post-Reichenbach this is.

* sorry

Does a Corpse Bride adaptation particularly need a villain as a original intended spouse of the protagonist? I mean, making that person a fusion a horrible person a facet of the original story or more likely to be character hating from the show?

WIP it real good!*

Yeah, post-Reichenbach needs distinctive summaries, because my god, there's so many!

*not sorry

I didn't like Corpse Bride or whatever it was called, and between that, the PG rating, and Lisa cast in a noncomplimentary role, I skipped it entirely.
