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.

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

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Well, I'm torn. I love that she's become a fan geek overnight and is relating everything in her life to her fandom of choice. But I'm rather bemused by it, because it's not my fandom of choice and I do have issues with it. Big, fat, hypocritical issues.

eta But it means she's discovering the Cassandra Claire diaries afresh - I did read them to her over the 'phone a year ago, but now she's a LotR fangeek and she's in love with the Very Secret Diaries too. So that's all nice. And we can be geekily obsessed about LotR together. I read her The Choices of Master Samwise and the little section immediately after it from RotK over the 'phone the other night (although there were pauses for me to stop crying and pull myself together a couple of times), and I'm really enjoying having a RL friend whom I love & who gets some of my stuff. It's cool. I'm trying to tempt her into getting an LJ...
