Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Got it, Dana, thanks!

I'm Zenkitty over there too, if anyone cares.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I have an AO3 invitation I can send, too, if anyone would like one.

Calli, may I please have it to pass on to my friend/beta reader? Thank you.

ETA: Profile addy is good.

ETA2: SailAway is coming to my rescue, so feel free to ignore this. Thanks.

Because books.

Pride and Prejudice fic in which Darcy is impotent. So good, sexy and sweet and funny and absolutely Austenesque. By yahtzee, too!

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

Is she on your friends list? Is that how you came across the story? Or have you been dabbling in dirty Austen fandom this whole time I knew you, and thought you honourable?

It's a really amazing story, by the way. I'm not a big reader of the fiction of the period--this is not only my favourite, it's probably the only one I really enjoy. But she's got the voice that is the source of my enjoyment down pat. Really fun, and hot.

Isn't it?! I loved it. She is a friend -- she wrote lots of Buffy and Angel and Alias fic back in the day, and has since moved on to X-Men First Class almost exclusively (many of which are also very hot Charles/Erik stories). She's also the author I met on tour.

And I have not been dabbling in Austen fandom, really, especially since I'm more of a Bronte girl, but I loved this so much now I want more. I have to find some Emma fic, since that's my favorite.

I will read pretty much anything Yahtzee writes. (Except the XMFC stuff, I have no interest.) Didja read her Sense & Sensibility/Doctor Who crossover? That was awesome, especially the podfic version, which Fay recorded.

No! Although ... I'm not so into the Dr. Who stuff. What I want, secretly, is to get her to write me smutty Jane Eyre fic.

Sorry I didn't check back in time to help you out, WindSparrow. Any other takers?

That P&P fic looks good. Ovation's running the Colin Firth series, so I'm in the perfect mood for it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Yahtzee's stories are consistently engaging -- she gives amazing character voices. Like Consuela, I'm not reading XMFC, and she was big into Angel/Cordelia back in the day, a pairing that made me run screaming to the opposite direction. But anything else she's written, I think I've given a try. I remember she wrote an amazing Spock/Uhura shortly after the movie came out that made me very happy. Although, despite all her Jossverse fic and everything else she's written since, she'll always be the one who made me burst out sobbing at work with "Goodnight, Moon." One of my top 10 -- maybe 5 -- fanfic I've ever read.
