I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Oh, and someone on GO recc'd this cute Stargate fic yesterday, which I loved. It made me burst out into laughter several times.

I can count the number of times I actually found humor fanfic funny on one hand, so this one stuck with me: Ketchup. It's the absolutely deadpan tone right through to the end that wins me over despite myself. By the time they get to "Never mind, Daniel. It died nobly" I'm giggling helplessly, even now, and I've read the thing more than once. And you know, I'm going to go send the author a piece of feedback *right now* and say that.

Also, I don't know how long this has been around, I haven't read it yet, and I've done a certain amount of skipping this month so it's entirely possible it's already been mentioned here. I'm going to mention it anyway. A Stich in Time, AtS, Yahtzee and Rheanna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Katie, did you read the fic Dana's tag is from? It's a Krycek one, and is the funniest fic I've ever read.`

No, I don't think so - link?

Er, or I could look the thing up myself on Google since I have a quote rather than making you do my work for me...

Hey, are in-thread links supposed to show up in search engines? I just put the quote into Yahoo and pulled up a post of Dana's on the Firefly thread.

The robots are supposed to exclude everything except the first page. But googling my tag brings the Firefly thread right to the top ... just like Dana's.

Hrrrm.

For the record: My Little Demons.

My Little Demons had me pounding my hand on my computer desk and nearly crying from laughter.

It's the kind of story that makes you scare the cat.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And for the record, my tag:

I'm still disappointed The List didn't win the Spooky for Best Original Character that year. Whichever year it was.

I feel vituous. Finally finished a story I'd had on my hard drive since July. Gonna rewrite & get some beta this weekend, I hope, and then post. Whooot.

All of 7,000 words. It shouldn't have taken that long, but if it had been finished sooner it would be a different story.
