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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh! That's what I know her from. "Goodnight, Moon."

Because books.
What fandom is "Goodnight, Moon"?

Joan of Arcadia crossover with (more like in the universe of) The Day After Tomorrow. It's much better than the movie.

I may have to check out the Doctor Who crossover. If I can ever pull my head out of all the Avenger fic out there. I'm falling so far behind!

You don't need to know anything about Joan of Arcadia to enjoy the story. All you need to know is that Joan is a teenage girl who talks to God, and she's got loving parents and two brothers: an older brother, Kevin, who is in a wheelchair and a younger brother, Luke, who is a science nerd. (Man, I loved Luke SO MUCH. I wonder what Michael Welch is doing now.)

Aw, I watched some Joan of Arcadia! Not sure I feel like weeping at the moment, but thank you for the link. I'm going to save it to read later.

I'd rank it as the best. I'd never watched Joan of Arcadia and felt nothing but contempt for TDAT, and she still made me tear up over that story.
I wish I could enjoy her writing these days, but every time I try to read I remember when a comment I made on one of her fics prompted her to essentially scream "Get out. Get Out! GET OUT!" at me in asscaps and it just overwhelms any emotional response I might feel to the story itself.

Oh, dear. That's pretty unexpected, as my experience of Yahtzee has been that she's remarkably level-headed and mellow in the snakepit of drama which is much of fic-writing fandom.
I'm sorry that happened, Matt.

That does seem weird, given what I know of her, but everyone has a bad day, I guess. Sorry about that, Matt.
