Oh, erika, my sympathies. The only Homicide stuff I ever read was by Saundra Mitchell, and it was cracking good cases. (And I think taken down from the web in like 1998.)

Mostly, I think it was a show that was really hard to write fanfic for, you know? It was either going to be strange, digressive, meaningless dialogue, or it was going to be a case, and those are the hardest/least popular genres of fanfic out there.

Okay, I happen to know there was a lot of crossover slash that went on, but that stuff never particularly grabbed me.

Dude, their job is nasty. You are not going to do it for a change of scenery. Not.(Not if you've been in fucking profiler school, especially.) And had she even met those characters? Ever?

I read only a few good Homicide stories, most of them XF crossovers. Erika, I do recommend, if you can find it, LoneGunGuy's crossover, April is the Cruelest Month. LGG is/was one of the most talented of the XF ficcers, and the H:LOTS crossover was very good.

Someone named Shannon (not Shannono) wrote a decent XF/H:LOTS crossover but I've forgotten the name.

And then of course there's Homicidal Tendencies, by Swikstr. Which I recall as quite good, although heavily biased towards the XF characters, and sadly unfinished. Smoking smut, though: it's Scully/Bayliss and Scully/Mulder.

Sometimes I'll write and write and when I look up finally I'll think, "Those words, those phrases came out of me? Wow!"

Oh, yes. And the best feeling is when you can barely type or write fast enough to get it all down. Dictation from the gods.

My poor mute muse. I miss her. I want her to talk to me again.

Yeah, those are pretty good...I'm sure I've not seen all of them. But that's no fun..."I can't get through the day unless I know there's somebody who writes worse than me." Praising is good, but I live to mock and savage.

Fanfic summaries that ensure I will never read your story (Stargate variant):

Daniel wants to go to a conference, how can a cupcake help him?

I assume you don't mean just because of the comma splice? Although a comma splice in a summary is enough to sharply decrease the shrift I give a story.

Not that Shrift.

Well, it's the combination of the "this is going to be badly written!" indicated by the comma splice and "this is going to be really stupid!" indicated by the cupcake. (On the plus side, all of the words are spelled correctly.)

Not that Shrift.

Of course. I am my own institution of bad and wrong.
