Post-col scares me.

Heh. You *can* write a post-col fic that is not all about the bleak and the doom. (See Katie's story.) Although, most of the time when I read fic, I usually mumble to myself, "Man, where's all the despair and the death, huh?" Must have something to do with having cut my teeth on the XF fanfic. In the long-gone-but-not-forgotten XF fic rec site, Chronicles of X, there was a fair size section devoted exclusively to post-col fic. (And in XF, post-col is now almost-canon, ain't it?)

Oh, and if anyone cares, the first part of the new V!Giles series, Career Advancement, is up in the usual places (Shrift, ff.net) and my website

It's called, surprise, Reorganization.

In the long-gone-but-not-forgotten XF fic rec site, Chronicles of X, there was a fair size section devoted exclusively to post-col fic.

Yeah, Shari's a huge post-col junkie. Whenever a post-col thread pops up on the Haven, Shari reposts her list of best-ever post-col.

Post-col scares me.

And yet you've read it, cause you were kind enough to read Wartime. And I blush at Vonnie's kind recommendation (although I clung to the description of Wartime as "during-col" *g*). There still is one fat chunk in Wartime that needs to be finished, and then it'll be done. Blame the Casablanca crossover that took over my brain.

(And in XF, post-col is now almost-canon, ain't it?)

I'd say so. I mean, the series ended on "well, we lose, but at least we can cuddle now!"

Africa!Xander that wants to stick its head up.

I love post-col.

There's something about it that makes me very happy. (I don't read much X-Files, but every few months, I get the urge for something meaty and Files-like.)

That I love Buffyverse post-Apocalypse stuff, of course, pretty much goes without saying.

Post-apocalypse-- or just plain old dystrophic, like the Wishverse-- are my fic bread and butter, too.

That and sweetly fumbling first-times between gay adolescents.

And the Wartime series was great! There was obviously stuff I couldn't follow, not being very well versed with the show, but the stories were perfectly gorgeous.

And yet you've read it, cause you were kind enough to read Wartime.

Which was wonderful. But I skimmed the scary parts. And then I needed candy afterwards.

I have zero need for dark Stargate fic. I like the fluffy, and the sexy, and the funny. I understand the appeal of the angsty and the hurty, but it does just about nothing for me in that fandom.

Dana, have you read Salieri's the Moose fic? It's right up your alley. Adorably schmoopy and funny as hell. It's a bit of an anomaly since Salieri usually specializes in 'ripping your guts out' variety of SG fic.

Heh. Yeah, I have. I think I even almost commented on it in LJ. Except I was still in the closet then.
