You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Dude, where's my Clark?
OMG! Not enough Bwah in the world - you must do it, PMM.

Gonna rewatch DWMC this weekend and write it out. This will be time... umm. Shoot. I've lost count.
Wow.
I love DWMC.

Always Anti-fascist!
I adored Moulin Rouge... Me too. Must be the William in me.(as in Spike's alter ego, not the Prince) I'm still bad though.

Weird. Just nipped over to Silverlake (I've barely glanced at my yahoo account this week) to check out the fic - and Kassie's written a Snape POV with the whole heartbroken thing going on, only it's James/Severus, rather than Lily/Severus. But still...and my opening line was about history and its mutability, and her title features history. Huh. Oh well.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm generally not too impressed with this author, but I think this story is actually pretty good.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
That's exactly what I said in my rec of it, Dana.
MM - Not as mad as you might think. JennyO wrote a rather nice Buffyverse story that's BtVS/Beowulf slash, which puts an excellent spin on the story.
cringe Um. I hated that story.
I said to John,
BEAR-WOLF? It means bee-hunter, I'm really positive. Yes I realize you're very clever and making him a werewolf but I think you're off base here.

Fair enough, love. Can't fault your rationale, but I enjoyed it - I get a kick out of Jossversian readings of history and literature, and happily it's long enough since I read Beowulf that I wasn't brought up short by such infelicities.
....um, whilst I'm all with the random fandom love - anyone got any links to good Winters/Ivanova? 'Cause I watch B5 erratically and the few times I've seen those two ladies sharing screentime have been, without exaggeration, Clex-level slashy. I've never seen so much girl/girl HoYay in my life. In fact I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that they wound up with a textual relationship.
Anybody? Bueller?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Er, it was a textual relationship. Inasmuch as I'm a more explicit lesbian with my goddamn keyboard; it was handled in a very namby-pamby way.
That said, I have no recs I can particularly share. My sense is, the fandom at the time was very shy of doing things that violated the Big JMS Plan, so there wasn't a lot of publicizing of fanfic. Maybe that's changed; I don't know.
RL, we could get into a talk about Beowulf, his culture-cousin Grettir, and the archetype of the berserker, but it's long and boring and I don't have my sources to hand. Rest assured Jen's got some fine training on the subject; her Old English is better than mine. (Not that I have an opinion about the story in question, but if anything, Jen's not ignorant of the base myth she's fucking around with. But I mean really. Have you seen what she does to Jossverse canon?)
