the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

(And anyway, for ABCB quatrains in alternating iambic tetrameter and trimeter, I prefer the Gilligan's Island theme.)

I was JUST going to post that!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

God, Angus, thanks for reminding me that I will never write like Emily Dickinson. Her best stuff is... it speaks to the dark, achy places in the soul.

Peel it and see

Wow, that was some poem.

Ha! I'm now ashamed to admit that I didn't even read it beyond what was necessary to establish the meter (or rather the non-meter). I just copied and pasted it from one of the (several) complete Dickinson archives online. Gotta love that internet!

Now I'd better go back and read the poem.

t edit OK, you're right--what a great poem! (Mind you, a random Dickinson poem is usually a pretty good bet.)

Ple, didn't get a chance to say, but I caught up on the Bitchy Fic last night, and looooooved your story, even though am decidedly NOT seeking out other B/Wes. Want to know what happens next.

Howdy. I just wanted to know, am I the only one that's pissed off at FanFiction.net for eliminating all nc17 smut...I mean, stories? Now where will I get my daily quota?!

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

The BfA. (See links section)

Also UCSL, Silverlake, and Glass Onion archives.

I hadn't really looked at ff.net in months before the decision was made.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

I'm pissed off to an extent, largely because there are already so many problems with NC-17 being conflated with porn being conflated with slash. But I understand why the decision was made. Plus, it was never my primary source of fic.

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

Here's a question: in the mountie thread, Allison mention dS_Asylum. What are ya'lls favorite lists currently? I have a pornon for Silverlake, myself.

Thrive to spite them

I like Silverlake, Glass Onion, and DS Asylum---and vidder. Mostly I'm on fiction only lists so I just scan those to see if any title catches my attention. It also means a ton of crossposts for me, but I can't figure out what to eliminate because some stories don't get cross posted.

I wish there was a good discussion list for Smallville, but I haven't really found one. I get BBF on digest so mostly I scan that and don't really read it in depth. Actually I've slacked off reading fanfiction lately and have only read certain authors and fandoms.

What I'd really like is to find good Harper/Tyr stories but I don't know where to look and the authors I know about seem to write Harper/Dylan or Tyr/Dylan (which doesn't appeal to me at all).
