Hey, didja see Tafkar's OT3 post? Very cute, I thought.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Does anyone have any recs for good and non-slashy stories set in the Horatio Hornblower, Master and Commander, Sharpe's, etc. universes.
When out in Missouri this week, I explained to my dad the whole concept of fan-fiction, and why I read and write the stuff. When he realized that there were more Hornblower, Aubrey & Maturin, etc. stories out there for him to read--some of which might even surpass the source material--his eyes went as wide as a child's on Christmas morning. Ergo, I promised to hunt some down for him.

Errr. Well, you could try Crack_Van, but I bet it's mostly slash. The only Aubrey & Maturin stuff I know of is by Shalott, and that's most definitely slash.
Try googling "gen recs" maybe?

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
Well, note that if I ever finish it Vonnie will be getting non!zombie fic for the price of a couple packages of Tim Tams.

I did. It was past my ability to suspend disbelief--it was Pete who put it over the edge--but yeah, cute. I loved Daniel and the sushi.

Well, there's always the one where Jack turns into a woman. Hey Anne, how does your father feel about genderbending? (I am so very kidding.)

Oddly enough, Susan, it's really good. Shalott just landed a three-novel contract with a publishing house.
I've never read anything by her that wasn't really good.

I looked at the first few paragraphs, and it's certainly written well, and she's considered the implications of the situation, but still. No. Just no. I'd be equally disturbed if they met a dragon or little green men from Mars. That much messing with reality just doesn't meld with my conception of that 'verse.
