Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Fan Fiction: Writers, Readers, and Enablers  

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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

Guys, please take all discussion of the writing process &c of your own fiction to the BF thread? This is supposed to be for discussion of non-Buffistas' work; feedback for finished Buffista fic if it's not in a constructive-criticism kinda way (in which case it belongs in the workshop proper); and general meta-fandom talk.

(I don't know why I feel so strongly about this delineation. It's weird.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Not all fic discussed in here has ever been Bitchy Fic. Bitchy Fic HAS become less bitch, more general fic, but there's always been process discussion here, just not actual workshopping.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

It's hardly limited to simple reccomendations. It's not workshopping, but surely we can't be expected to censor our personal experiences with fanfiction that we happen to have written or are currently writing because it's not the workshop thread? It's not like actual fic was posted.

Okay, my biggest problem with that Horrible Story? "He was so little and barely had any hair down there." WTF??? Look, I can buy smalldickness, but DUDE, he was ALL HAIR.

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?

New Noir!

Also, I have skipped and skimmed so maybe I missed her posting a link, but Herself has rewritten the ending to Lovingkindness. You can find it here.

I am petty, I know. But really. Human Hairshirt. Sigh.

Paul is so sick of me talking about it. It's like As You Were.

Dana, I have also started on the Special Hell story, just for you.
