I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Unfortunately, I'm the person who linked to that. Rheanna's fabulous, and I've read all three of her SG stories - she pretty much fits my fanfic tastes to a T. Alas, she doesn't appear to be writing any more in either SG or Angel.

Like I said, wired wrong.

If it helps, I'm wired the same way. Part of why I don't read a heck of a lot of fanfic.

I can poke around if you wish. Stargate, yes?

Ooh, thanks! Yes.

Thank you, Katie! I had kept the link but I knew going back over a couple hundred messages to find it would be more pain than I could handle.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I don't know of any, Angus, but I am laughing because I thought exactly the same thing when I rewatched last month!

Well, Sophia, I mean, yeah... a classic slash pairing if ever there was one!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I must mention that now that I've started reading slash, I start looking for the slash in everything.

So where do I send the toaster?

OK, I've spent the last four days re-reading the entire HP series, and it's whetted my appetite. I'm not looking for anything wildly sexual, unless it's set many years in the future, and even then anything former student/former teacher would be a whole world of squick for me. I'd be interested in events within the timeframe of the existing canon from other characters' POV as well as futurefics

Read AJ Hall . Lust Over Pendle is novel-length, but it's to die for. PG13 futurefic, wonderfully plotty, with a large ensemble cast that concentrates on Draco/Neville (yes, I know, I can see your expression - trust me on this) but features Hermione, Narcissa and a host of characters both canonical and original. Read it. Then read it again and enjoy all the little details that passed you by the first time.

Also at Shoesforindustry is 'The Boys of Summer' by Susan Hall, which is thoroughly charming.

I'm very fond of Zahra's stories , although they're generally rather slashy.

I've not read all Liz Bair's stuff, but I've enjoyed what I have read. The Language that God Speaks is Hermione-centric genfic - it's a crossover with Gaiman's Sandman, but if you're not familiar with the latter then it should still read okay.

Then there's the remarkably silly but perfectly enjoyable Draco/Hermione piece Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing...Rat? by Maya. Made me giggle lots, but cute Hermione/Dracoishness.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I just recced this over in Due South, but I love it so much I'll say it again: Second of Our Reign, by Wax Jism (!), is one of my favorite fucking stories ever. It's really very well-written, and terribly tear-your-guts-out-and-stomp-on-them. I missed my train because I couldn't stop reading it.

Now THIS is something I'd like to find in my stocking.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Heh. The G&M article seems to have stirred another kerfuffle.

Which is to say, someone is upset about being quoted, some are rushing to her defense and slamming the writer, others are saying "my, but don't you understand that that's what journalists do?"

Sigh.

Fandom is nuts. IJS.

Meredith Lynne.

I can understand her thinking "Aaargh!", but once you've cast your fic onto the waters it's pretty much up for grabs.
