but I guess you've already exhausted their stuff?

Actually, hah, no! I suck. I keep up with the current stuff, but there's the whole archive of older stuff to peruse and Silverlake is pretty topshelf in terms of fic. It's my favorite list ever.

Thanks for the Bloomwood link. I'll have to check that out.

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

Silverlake is probably my favorite list, that I've come across.

Oh, I don't mind real people knowing my email address. It's just the spambots that irritate me and having to sign up with a verifiable email address often guarantees spam.

The only people who get your address here are the volunteers who helped build and continue to help maintain this board. No corporation, no one to sell your address to a spambot, and like everyone said, you can block it from being seen in your profile. Which, it just occurred to me, I should do myself.

Kristen, my own particular interest in SV fic tends to be futurefic, since I'm a Superman fan from the wayback; you tend to need less SV knowledge and the basics of Superman canon you picked up from Saturday morning cartoons for that. Demarcation by Livia remains my favorite, despite the, uh, problematic plotting.

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

Oooh, yes, Demarcation is lovely.

What were your problems with its plot, Michele? I think I had one or two, but they were bitty.

Oh cool! Because I have Superman knowledge. I just don't anything about the show aside from, you know, that it's Superman.

I will mark this one to read later. Thanks!

Like I need a hole in my head

I was in Boston last fall and got to see Nutty and some of the Somervillains but we never found time to hook up with the suburb-dwelling Sficcers.

Too bad! Come back soon and we'll subject you to the Boston Sficcers' craziness (including the secret handshake).

Thrive to spite them

Also, you can email the admins and ask that another email address be made as your publicly available email address.

Um, white-fonting for Demarcation spoilers. Not so much a complaint about the plot as a confusing-mechanics point:

There's no explanation at all of how Lois and Clark got to Salter's office to track the paper trail back to Dominic, and thence to Lionel. Then there's a mention early on of a guy named Peterman who's attached to the toxic-waste scandal, but he doesn't show up again. I thought at first that the two executives were the same guy, but they're not.

That's what I'm talking about.

OK.
