We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

(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!"

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.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.

Mmm, laces. (Who knew?)

Oh, thanks, Rebecca! That's very kind of you. Could I prod you into sending feedback to Marasmus and Maria, do you think? Since they're not here to see it...

We put a lot of time into those stories, and it's nice to hear they're still getting read.
