For general fic sites, the ones that I know off the top of my head:

the sugarquill.net
diagonalley.org
snitchfiction.net (I think it's .net)
veela-inc.net
restrictedsection.org (for NC-17 fic)

Don't have time to double check all the URLs, but I think the names at least are correct.

I have a fondness for the Amazing Bouncing Rat.

But finally, I've realized what the Two Ravens are, Thought and Memory, right?

Yes. Yes they are.

Did I make you cry?

Did I make you cry?

Always, always. Those two stories always do that.

And now I feel all warm inside.

I really did love your left-side story. And I'm all a tingle for the stuff that's coming next in 'Career Change'.

That's what's fun, Elena, because I can watch you going, "Come on, already, get to the good stuff!"

"Come on, already, get to the good stuff!"

Because it bears repeating!!!!

Hello all. First-time poster. Just thought this would be a good thread to ask re fanfics and ideas for fanfics.

How would one execute a credible Blade-Buffy crossover properly? The fundamental principles of vampirism are almost diametric opposites for the two genres. Blade's vampirism is a product of biological causes (virus) and the vamping process is spiritual (losing one's soul), but what is the best way to "bridge" that divide?

I thought this would be a good topic just to throw around. Perhaps it's already been discussed...

Not as far as I know. I don't know...I haven't seen Blade in forever.

I really got thinking about this after I saw Blade II last year, because the genetically-altered super vamps (that hunted on regular vamps) in that film have similar physical characteristics and strengths of the Buffyverse "Turok-Han" ubervamps. It also seems that the Mutant Enemy creative team was borrowing from the Lord of the Rings story with the Turok Han. The Urok Hai seem to be a straight copy.

The vampires in the Blade franchise have the usual weaknesses -- stakes through the heart, sunlight, but can also be killed by silver bullets. There is only one other place where I've seen the silver-bullet weakness for vamps, in a Batman comic from over 60 years ago that was in an anthology titled "Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told." Of course, perhaps the Blade creative team was just looking for a way to put automatic weapons in the hand of a vamp hunter!

Like I said, just throwing something out there. I like both Blade and Buffy because they both play to interesting elements of the whole vamp mythology.

I know this isn't fanfic, but what is it? Visual filk? It's like fandom and the internet and ... dunno. It's not something I could explain to my grandmother, even were she not, um, dead.

Do people do that a lot?
