That was really fun. Thanks for the link!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OMG, someone get this writer a pronoun infusion, stat:
The teenager quickly changed into his swim trunks in the still empty locker room. The young man then moved past the private showers to the open shower room where he ducked under the cool spray rinsing off. The junior walked slowly out to where the pool area was, a few of the girls milling around. Dean stopped and looked around, his heart sinking when he didn't see the person he was looking for and climbed up onto his seat over viewing the pool.
That's just to stop the paragraph from flatlining. Therapy with different sentence structures should be prescribed for recovery.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
How many people are they talking about in that paragraph? I count at least four.

Because books.
Completely random, but I just stumbled into a porny section of Tumblr, and now I'm wondering how "Jimstiel" is a thing. Like, Cas and Jimmy. With two bodies. Does this make sense to anyone else?

I've seen a lot of AU twincest, for a start.
And then there's releasing him as a vessel--he can sex him up in another vessel, or he can pull a trick similar to whatever Anna and Gabe did.
Unrelatedly, I seem to keep stumbling into poem-fic. I know how to steer clear, mostly, of songfic and will only try wihen recommended, but now people are dumping vats of Donne or Angelou into the mix, and although I dislike neither poet, jamming in your prose right next to their poetry doesn't actually do most people's writing a favour by comparison.
Also, I find it distracting and don't enjoy the poem as well as I normally do (especially when I notice if they tweak pronouns or other twee little stuff to make it perfect

QQ: do I need to be logged into FF.net to receive my subscriptions via email? Because I've been following an author, and lately had thought they'd gotten busy with RL, only to discover that they've got at least five new works out there/in progress. I only discovered this because I got an update from their LJ account, and wanted to see if there were comments, and remembered that their biggest feedback source was their FF account.

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.
You should still receive notifications from FF.net even when it has been ages since your last log-in. But I think I have seen thingies saying FF.net was having trouble sending out notifications - that may have been resolved but it might cover the period when that author posted.

As a FYI for those who want donate to help the victims of Typhoon Haiyan, Fandom Aid is allowing writers and artists to offer up works for charity. So, if you're interested in offering works or donating, you may want to check it out.
(And yes, I did post an offer.)

FYI, we updated Polyamorous Recs today. In less than a year, which we are totally considering an accomplishment.
There are 100 stories in this update.
