This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I think that I would salivate at any snippet offered on a story I'd waited to be finished. And if the author said no mas, fini, I'd be happy to take what I could get and glad that I wouldn't be getting anymore.
There's a SPN writer who keeps promising due-by dates and fails to deliver, that's awful. Being promised incomplete but final is less cruel.
The story does not bring me joy anymore, which I certainly do not need at this particular time. Thank god I've managed to find my writing, I've turned out a few stories in the Avengers universe, and it pleases me greatly that I can still do that. And there's even someone who occasionally emails me gentle requests in a fandom I left pre-Buffy. I need to write where there is reward, though it seems like spurning Art-with-a-capital-A.
If it had been an incomplete story that I'd really enjoyed, I would happily read a summary of how it ended up and a few scenes. It's nice to have that closure.
I just got another deeply insane comment over at AO3. Is something in the air lately?
(Nothing bad, just someone being extraordinarily literal.)
I posted a bunch of short pieces of fic (mostly 5-Things pieces) for More Joy Day, as follows:
XF, Discworld, and SG-1: [link]
Lymond Chronicles, Avengers/SHIELD, and SG-1: [link]
Dana, I get those! We need a word for the mixture of "That's nice." and "What the Hell?" Commenter did explain that she's foreign, which helped a little, but still.
I sort of want to answer, because I think it's a genuine question, but on the other hand, I have almost no idea what to say.
It's been a while since I actually got a "When's the sequel?" comment. I'm a little tempted to respond with, "Look at the top of the page. Note the year this story was posted. Extrapolate from there."
Festivids is rocking my world. This is a ridiculously awesome Pacific Rim vid: [link]
Someone I used to beta read for in the Mentalist fandom has started writing Sherlock fic. Hooo boy, has Sherlock captured Lothiriel84's imagination such that her writing is so much more skillful. I suppose the same thing could be said of my writing taking a few leaps in skill from ST:V to Mentalist, but there were a number of years in between. The transition time for her was less than a week.
