Um, well, I write in the Equalizer universe. Saw it only in reruns, I've got a bunch of stuff up at one of the EQ websites. Blue Sky Dancers? That's what I get for only having it as a bookmark.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

If I only had a brain...
There are tons of them. Look at Shrift's and Nestra's recommendations at Polyamorous -- you'll find La Femme Nikita, X-Files, Sentinel, lots of other stuff.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Blake's 7 fanfic springs to mind as a fandom that's still alive and kicking and having slash fanfic conventions despite the fact that the show went off air decades ago. I know there's Dr Who as well - Kalima has some lovely Dr Who stories over at fanfiction net (and she's also published one Dr Who novel, co-authored with some chap) and it's, what, a dozen years since Dr Who was on air. And of course due South - that's finished, hasn't it? t / uncertain

Any websites besides fanfiction.net that my friend should be looking at?
If your friend wants the quality stuff, no way he should look at ff.net.
For Trek, try the Trekiverse archive, which I think is at trekiverse.org.
For X-Files, there's Gossamer, which is gossamer.org.
For Due South, there's the Due South Fiction Archive.
Those are all big fandoms for shows no longer on the air. (Except for Enterprise, the current Trek.) There are tons of others.
Rio, please tell me your friend is going to write an article that doesn't mock fan fic or get half the details wrong.

He is a really smart and sweet person whose jouralism is not based on mocking people or encouranging others to mock them. I can't imagine he'd write anything mean or stupid.

The entire community is pretty gun-shy about this...well, that's not the right word. It's just that these articles are almost always someone on the outside, looking at the strange group of people, and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, we've all seen mistakes too often. Conflating fan fiction with slash. Insisting that all slash is darkfic. Focusing only on the stuff that's prurient in some way.
I didn't mean to cast any aspersions on your friend. I'd love to see the article when it comes out.

I know, Dana. I've seen those "ha ha, what freaks!" articles about fanfic.
