Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Brighid writes some of the most fabulous stuff in any fandom, so I bet her Stargate is pretty nifty.

Oh, by the way, thanks for this. I love Brighid's XF and Jossverse stories - she has some of the most lyrical turns of phrase I've ever had the pleasure to read in her prose. I had no idea that she wrote in Stargate.

Vonnie, you are I are one on this issue.

Whoo! Thank God I'm not the only freak who feels like this. Not that I think you are a freak or anything. And if I ever call you freaky, I'd mean it in the most loving way possible.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had no idea that she wrote in Stargate.

She writes Smallville and Sentinel too. Her Senslash is *amazing*.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ghost is a wonderful gen CSI fic that reads like a two-part sweeps episode.

For me, the thing that makes or breaks a fic is whether or not the writer gets the characters right. What really impresses me is when an author can get a character to do something that is utterly surprising but that also seems like something that is absolutely in character.

Hmmm. I found Brighid's Sentinel and Smallville fic, but the site doesn't have any Stargate or Buffy stories. Bummer.

Her Stargate stuff is hosted at Destina's. Don't know why. Her Buffy stuff is at the BFA.

Cool! Thanks, Dana.

Yes, the BFA.

I think I've finally tracked down the rogue code and am working like a demon to fix all the affected bits.

Here's hoping my boss doesn't decide to pay me a visit before quitting time...

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

The story Dana mentioned upthread, Amperage's "Coyote at Starbuck's," is really fucking great. So sweet. And surreal. But it has spoilers for the end of season five and the beginning of season seven.

RL, if you are looking for Amperage & Livengoo's XF-fic (most of which are insanely long), most of them are in The Gossamer Project. Just search under their respective pseuds.

I'd found that; I was just looking to see if they had any personal archives. But thank you.

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

Oh, again, dear. I've made several attempts to suck my non-Buffy-lovin', but-still-very-Buffista-like friend into reading fanfic to no avail. She looked at a few things, but nothing particularly appealed to her. Eventually, almost on a whim, I pointed her to Calico's LotRips.

She is now mainlining LotR RPS, reading interviews with the actors, knows an extraordinary amount about them all and has reached a level of fannish devotion roughly parallel to my own Buffy and/or Smallville obsessions.

I'm torn between feeling guilty and feeling triumphant. I think I may have broken her.
