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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I want to elect Trudeau our sovereign leader and for Canada to annex us. I'm too damn lazy to move again.

Thrive to spite them

okay so I'm half remembering a vid. Don't know what fandom. But it was to Liz Phair's Flower.

Any ideas?

AO3 filter question!

I came across a nice long Spock/Uhura story and after finishing it, have yen for more. Unfortunately, something like 70% of the fic in S/U tag in AO3 appear to be 1) Kirk/Spock in which Spock/Uhura is only there so that he can break up with Uhura then get with Kirk, 2) threesome, or 3) where Spock/Uhura is a minor side pairing to Kirk/McCoy or some such. If I just wanted to get the results of stories in which Spock/Uhura is the *main* pairing, err, can I do that? Using some kind of a filter or several?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think you could probably search for Spock/Uhura and subtract Kirk/Spock, Kirk/Spock/Uhura, and Kirk/McCoy. There's info on Boolean searches here: [link]

I also had a script installed that let you do stuff like that (like, hide all pairings with Loki), but it seems to no longer be in my TamperMonkey.

AHA.

It's like Tumblr Savior, but for AO3, so you can blacklist authors, words in a summary, words in a title, and specific tags.

YAY! Thanks so much. Off to explore the options. I feel like I should know how to do this already, but I haven't gone fic diving for a random pairing in a while.

Leverage/Agents of SHIELD if anyone's interested.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That looks like it will be fun.

I particularly liked this bit:

"He's not on fire yet," Hardison said.

"I could fix that," Eliot offered.

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.

Heh heh heh, that was perfect!
