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

Neato. Interesting casefile/good character studies are my fave kinds of fic. Thanks!

Ooh. Fic bunny.

Go Holli Go Holli Go.

stayed up too late last night re-reading WOAT

Aw, you're so nice. Thanks loads, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I read Golden Apples by BetanSurvey last night. It's an AU adventure which spins off from Fractures. Very science-fictiony, and with some truly original settings and creative characters. But the characterizations felt a little... easy? maybe? Given the situation at that point in the show, everyone's just a little too cheerful. And John's voice was off, for me. OTOH maybe I've just read too much Maayan. *g*

Still, I recommend it -- it's a big complicated romp with lots of Chiana and Jool and John and Aeryn.

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

Thanks, Am-Chau. The story is the first one on the list, Vonnie. It's just called "Ghost."

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

I haven't sought out any Sam/Frodo

PolyRecs.

IJS.

grins

Yeah - but I didn't really think I wanted to read Sam/Frodo. But damn, I just loved that story, so....

Bugger. Another fandom.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Lazy me doesn't want to look back for who said "yes" the first time, but I'm putting the final touches on Latitude in preparation for a BtVS WZ application, and need to know who I can add to the beta readers list.

All I need, and I can be emailed with the details, is name, email contact, lead time, and what you will/won't beta.

Anyaluvsya, anya4now@mailbox.com, need a week, won't read angst or anything with the letter 'q'.

For example.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Do I post a link, if I want to post a story?

Because this one's nearly 70k in length and wouldn't that be insanely long to post?

Can someone advise the poor techno-dweeb?

No, you don't want to post here -- except for the very short, we don't post fic on the board.

Posting a story can be done in a number of ways. You can post to a mailing list, to an archive, or to both, like with the BFA.

If you posted to BFA, for instance, you would upload a text file. The software would convert it to HTML and give you the link for the story. It would also cut the story into 400-line parts and mail these parts in order out over the BFA-L list.

Does that make sense?

Oh, and by "text" file, I mean a .txt file.

And by 70K, do you mean 70,000 words? or a text file that's 70 kilobytes? Because the first is much bigger than the second. *g*
