But damn, the boys are cute together.
Blair just squicks the hell out of me. I don't know why, can't explain it. Part of it is probably related to his weird resemblance to the guy in Mask, but mostly it's just this strange, visceral reaction, and I can't read Sentinel fic at all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Just skipping to the end to tell Deena that I am sure that she will LOVE Herself's fic. I almost have no words for how much I love it. Since I rarely read books now, she is pretty much my favorite author, fanfic or not.

Thanks, Susan. It's nice to know I'm not nuts.

Thanks, Sophia! I probably won't get to do any reading until Tuesday when Greg goes back to work. Having him home is nice, but totally messes up my playtime *g*.

Always Anti-fascist!
I loved it completely, but I'm a big fan of Herself.

I'm a big fan of Herself's, too--Bittersweets may be my all-time favorite fanfic series, though Anna S's Season Noir is neck-and-neck with it. But I felt like in this case she was going for HSQ, but my reaction was, "But...but...that's not fair!"

Same here. And it made me start thinking about the logic of the story as a whole -- if Spike can't leave the island, why does he have a passport, and how did he get it? which is never a good thing.
Interestingly, I don't think my reaction would have been quite as strong if Spike had just died upon leaving the island. Killing him would have felt "fair" to me -- sad, but fair. The actual ending just made me angry.
But in general, I really like the way Herself writes, and loved the "Bittersweets" series. She does the best Spike voice of anyone, pretty much.

Courtesy of a link on LJ, here's a legal article about fanfiction. Long, fairly interesting, not written in dense legalese.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
I have to ask. Can anyone think of any reason why someone would write the phrase "tumbling down the rabbit hole of love" when writing smut? And write it earnestly, thinking it was sexy?
