I've found one Fury Road AU that works for me. It combines elements from the first Mad Max movie with Furiosa as a guardian of a battered women's shelter/small town mechanic. It's hot, but Furiosa kicks butt throughout.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

Also, while I respect the honesty of tagging "old fic reworked into a new fandom", you get an automatic skip.
OMG, THAT'S HOW I FOUND THE WACKY ARCHIVE OF JOURNEY RPF!
The reworked story (which really was reworked and different and decent) was in SPN, and I was curious about the story they'd reworked and... yeah.
Archive of Journey RPF. This is pre-AO3.
I've determined, because really, all I think about is writing these days, as thinking is easier than doing at times, that I find it much harder to, in 3rd limited present tense with a male POV, use the character name than I do in 3rd limited present with a female POV. I have no actual conclusions about this, and while I haven't done a lot of 3rd limited past tense from a male POV recently (I've done... about 300 words of it in one timestamp in my research folder), it doesn't appear to be a problem in there.
It mostly just struck me as weird.
Of course, wow, writing longform, you learn a lot about your writing tics.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I will mention one more time before offering them up to the internet at large: I have two copies of last year's VVC DVD set. Does anyone need one?

I may have to seize the cat.
Plei, it was an oldish comment, probably. Maybe on a Darcy/Steve married in Vegas fic? I can't remember.

That doesn't sound like me. I actively avoid 99.75% of Darcy fic. Like, I will hit it if it is femslash, fucking weird, or by a friend I trust a lot. I mean, it is possible! But doesn't sound like something I would read.

Though there is someone on AO3 using my real name as a pseud.

I was reading a ton of blithers's stuff in rapid succession. Now I want to track this down. Nay, I'm GOING to track it down.
Ah. It was New Girl. I thought it was you, but maybe I'm wrong?

Yes! That was me!

I was reading a lot of sitcom fic in 2013.

I wrote some New Girl stuff. Nothing as good as blithers, though.
