You should really read George Chauncey's Gay New York, which is one of Herself's major sources. It's a fun, well written book, a really eye-opening history of American gay culture, and for me, as a New Yorker, it's one of those books that made me look at my city in a whole new way.

The Xander/Lindsey epic was a lot of people's favorites when it was written. I liked it, but I really loved the unfinished vamp!Xander/Angel epic. I'm still heartbroken that they never finished it!

I can find the erentia nocturne archive, just let me look through my links.

Also I loved the Xander/Lindsey series except for the very last bit.

Here's it is! [link]

I'm on there, for "Chosen One." t koff

Xander/Lindsey? Drool. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate unfinished stuff. Especially if it's good.

Fay, I love you when you pimp me out.

Self-pimping...

I'm loving the LiveJournal Farscape Friday drabble challenge. Right now the challenge is just write a S1 drabble.

Here's mine, about D'Argo...

Just a heads up for those who are interested: the new issue of Bitch magazine has a longish article about slash. It's not bad - the writer has obviously read a fair amount of fanfiction, and she doesn't equate slash with porn. My biggest quibbles: the Spock/Kirk example that opens the article is terrible, the kind of thing that would make someone who has never read fanfiction before roll their eyes in disgust, and the only example of slash that she mentions from the Jossverse is Buffy/Willow. Huh? Clearly, BTVS is not her fandom.

For once I would love to see an article written that didn't mention Kirk/Spock.

Well, if you're explaining slash to those not in the know, you're sort of obligated to mention its origins.

I'd like to see an article actually written by someone who participates in fanfic, instead of someone who got it as an assignment.

I guess you're right, how about I rephrase it to---For once I'd like to see an article that managed to mention a current pairing.

And yeah, by someone who is involved with fanfic.
