So, yeah. Gloss strikes again.
Gen. Post S4. Gunn and Cordelia. Damn.
Gloss blows me away.
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Oh, my god, that's so cute and sweet, in defiance of all the rules of the universe!
Oh, wow. That's just... lovely, in a weird way. I mean, I'm a bit of a sucker for a good mpreg anyway, but... so well written. And oddly plausible. And Arziphale is so *nice* about it. Charming. That's a good word. And sweet, in a slithery Crowley way. Thanks for linking, shrift!
I've just read a story with the word "bollucks" in it...I used to be be her beta...I corrected that about forty times. argh. (Picturing filk "Damn, I wish you were my beta" It also has Spike calling himself "buggering selfish" and refers to "adolescent mellow drama" which I think is "Everwood" or something, not the "melodrama" she was looking for.
Spike calling himself "buggering selfish"
Why? Is he insisting on being top or something? (I can't believe I just typed that.)
While exploring the shiny new (to me) world of SG1 fandom, I found this crossover fic that was quite entertaining.
heh...it just didn't sound like she used it right...like there's not really a "buggering hell", right?
there's not really a "buggering hell", right?
Well, I suppose it might be one of the subsets of Special Hell...
That sounds like she took a British swear-phrase, "bloody hell" and replaced half of it with a British swear-word, "bugger", and didn't know that... well, that nobody, not even Spike, says "buggering hell". "buggering selfish" the same-- "bloody selfish" could work in some contexts.
Either she's got a strange notion, or she had a beta who thought "bugger" was 'more Spike' or some such nonsense.
Part of the oddity is that they're in different parts of speech. Just because it's swearing doesn't mean the grammer's different.
I know...that's why red flags came out.
I've been known to say "bugering hell" on occasion. Also "buggering bloody hell", "buggering crap", "bloody buggering bollocks" etc. My grammar tends to get creative when I swear. Maybe it's an Irish thing.
