Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Thrive to spite them

I'm officially watching Stargate now and I need some fanfic recommendations. Where's a girl to go if she wants to read the good stuff?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Go to Versaphile's recs, and Anna's recs.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Destina's got a good set of recs here, and I know BSO has some as well.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Vonnie and Maayan can probably point you in a good direction as well. Maayan's fallen into the fic hook line and sinker, and has written at least one story already.

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

I've been more into the show itself than fic, but if you're just starting out, I'd recommend starting with Rheanna's stories, The Midas Syndrome, and *especially* Rose in December. They are both based on early show canon, so you don't need to know too much about the mythology. They are both very gen, almost episode-like in their structure, with wonderful characterizations for everyone, specially Jack.

I'd start with Destina's rec page, in which she's got a nice mix of slash and gen. (Anna's page is good, but a lot of her links are broken.)There are a few recent stories I loved, but they are mostly based on Daniel's ascension/Full Circle/speculation about his return and I'm not sure how much of that you've seen.

Thanks for all the links.

Vonnie--I've only seen about 10 or so episodes all the way through, the only ones I know I've seen in the right order are the ones from Monday and then the past two Saturdays on syndication.

The library has the Stargate dvds so I'm checking them out as I can. Currently I have out Season 2 Vol 4. I wasn't going to check it out, but it was there 2 days in a row so I took that as a sign. I have the Season 1 Vol 1 on request.

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

Lookit! Tomb of the Unknowns got rec'd at BSO!

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

Well, that just made my day! Thanks for posting the link.

Diablo Robotico Up.

Ok, I got back from the theater today after catching a matineƩ of X2, the fine X-Men sequel. Definitely thought about how a Buffy crossover would work. All sorts of interesting possibilities, at least from where I'm seeing.
