Lizard, I'm going through ToS on the strength of your recommend--evil Potter Fic Pusher--and is there a prequel to that? There sure is a lot happening before hand if not. Poor Ron!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
FearlessDiva is still revising Tissue of Silver, actually, so there may be more tweaking, but I don't think we'll get to hear about Ron's story, poor lamb.
Although there's no prequel in the works she's presently writing a deliciously farcical sequel called Seeing The Light aka "The Snogfic", because it's inspired by a photo Zahra sent me of Jude Law (our choice of Future!Draco) being snogged by Jonny Lee Miller (our choice of Future!Harry). It's frivolous and tangled and plotty as a plotty thing, in the style of the traditional English farce (not yet readable online, but I'm beta-ing/bouncing around plot ideas like mad). Once that's done and dusted she plans to follow it with a story all about Snape, the seeds for which will be planted in the Snogfic.

Sigh.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My friend grit kitty has posted a new Sentinel story, which continues her trend of busting cliches. Highly recommended. And send her feedback if you like it.

GK is one of my *favorite* Sen authors.

Does anyone here read Star Wars fic? I'm looking for slash Star Wars TPM, but not Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan. I know they're slashable, I just can't see them like that, which doesn't leave me with many options. Is there Qui-Gon/Mace or Obi-Wan/other male out there? Thoughts? Better still, links?

Am-Chau, The Sith Academy, my first step into fan fiction, a host of great writers, and some really funny shit. Maul/Obi-Wan, parody, excellent things.

Thanks, RL. And Star Wars was your first fandom?

No, that's what makes it funny. I've still never watched the Star Wars movies-- I came to the SA as though it were original collaborative fiction, dizzyingly organized and controlled and bitingly strangely reflexive and self-parodic. It was shiny.
Then again, it wasn't a very strange-feeling position for me, because I'm very used to reading things and all of their references to other texts I don't know about, because I am, or at least was, what has been fondly called a pop culture nun.

Ah. I'm like that with some things- I still haven't watched any X-files at all, and see yesterday's natter re. my knowledge of Jenifer Lopaz (none). And I read Star wars original Triology stuff with pleasure, despite not having see those movies, either. Phantom Meance is the only one I've seen.
