Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

At last, good news!

Well, I did finally break 3000 today. Couldn't write at all until now.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

shrift, I'd be delighted for a set if you have the third still available.

Yay! Polyrecs! Such a treasure trove. I use it to dive back into older fandoms a lot, when I'm not sure where to start.

you betcha.

I'm thrilled going through the November polyrecs. You both always manage to find something(s) I haven't read, even when I'm neck-deep in a fandom.

Speaking of, alethia finished her brilliant Generation Kill/The West Wing fic, with Vice President Fick -- sort of an alternate version of an older, equally brilliant story. It gave me all the feels. Highly recommend.

"Mr. Vice President, I believe you might be familiar with Special Agent Colbert."

The world stilled.

And in walked Brad. Black suit. Black tie. Perfect.

and the earlier one:

The Loyal Opposition [link]

"Brad Colbert, Christ-Killer."

"Ainsley Seaborn, Blond Republican Sex Kitten."

Definitely made the week somewhat less shitty.

Ha, I've got Worthy of Trust and Confidence open in a tab right now, but I've been having trouble with focusing this week for some strange reason.

Will mail DVDs sometime this week, definitely by Friday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay! I start source review for Yuletide tomorrow. Definitely.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

This is my plan, as well. Except either tonight or Wednesday.

I mean, I have ideas, but I need to make sure they actually work.

I'm going to a write-in on Friday so I should really start my canon review tonight.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I can't believe I'm complaining about this, but why is it that the people who write het for *Man of Steel* fandom do it so badly? Lois/Clark is pretty much as strong a OTP as I have regarding fanfiction, but all the good writers are slashing him with Batman instead.
