On a lighter note - a Beatrice-centric Divine comedy fan fiction. (A light X-over with AS You Like It. Dante's Beatrice is also the Beatrice from "As You Like It" and makes journey's through Hell, Purgatory and Paradise comparable to Dante's . This passage from her journey through hell is one of the best in the Fic:
On that farther shore, they set off through a cemetery full of burning crypts. People kept popping out of them and arguing with each other over heresies. Several times Penthesilea held Beatrice back from getting involved. Penthesilea said, "The Trojan war was over love and honour and wealth, and it lasted over ten years."Beatrice gripped her hands and her lips and didn't argue with all the people who were wrong.

You know, sometimes if you're very good, and very patient, and wait a good ten years after the source canon ends, astolat will come along and start writing in a fandom you enjoy. (Harry/Draco, at the moment.)

Dana, I've been enjoying those too, although they're...trope-y, I guess...enough that I'd wondered if they were older fics reposted to AO3. I like them a lot for the skill and the worldbuilding, even though I don't ship canon!Harry/canon!Draco. Reading the one with the gate to the land of the dead, I was half convinced Harry would get through and find Hermione had taken over.

I don't think shipping the pairing is needed to get into her fics. I'm sure not a Wincest fan, but found her SPN stories very enjoyable regardless.
She did lose me for a while with the underage American Idol RPF though. shudder

Was it the underage or the American Idol that lost you?

RPF in general sends me scrambling for the back button, but I'm sure the fact that some of it featured a minor who looked about 12 speeded up my mouse click.

Makes sense.

That feeling when you accidentally read 250,000 words of fanfic by Thanfiction, AKA Andy Blake, FKA Amy Player, FKA Victoria Bitter.
And it was in that irritating place between "scratches an itch I have" and "I disagree with choices and characterizations so much that I will stop reading."

Woops, Dana. I read DAYD a few years back, and yeah, I got more & more uncomfortable with it as it went on. He's not untalented, but I really don't need to see so much of his ID.
