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

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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
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.

little green men from Mars
So I shouldn't point out the one where they're in space?
It's a series of five AUs based on the story idea of "Five Things That Never Happened", which swept fandom for a while. And my god, are they fabulous.

The World Turned Upside Down.
Wow, that was amazingly well-written.

Hell, if we had to pay Shrift for all the time she spends coding fansites, she'd have more than enough money to move to LA.
Dude, I could live on Mars. (And I have money to move to LA. I merely lack conviction.)
Does anyone have any recs for good and non-slashy stories set in the Horatio Hornblower, Master and Commander, Sharpe's, etc. universes.
Anne, I have links to good resources/archives for these fandoms, and I'll happily dig into them this weekend. When I'm not at work.

Yeah, probably not. I think this is a case where I'm so satisfied with the stories as are that any really wild change just feels all wrong. If I were looking for fanfic, I'd be more interested in things like, oh, I dunno, more of Sophie or Diana's perspective.

But the boys have sex!
Okay, my kink.
