Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

People are stressed out over the election.

So in the interest of some good clean (or dirty) fun, I've started a short-term ficathon: La La La 2004. For those of us who'd rather read/write fic, make silly icons, and generally bury our heads in the sand between now and Tuesday.

Come play!

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

Culture Vultures, by Yahtzee. So, what happens when Willow and Oz and Faith all decide to visit the Met?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Not fanfic as such, but this had me weeping with laughter.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also, choosing my requests is *painful*.

Holy shit.

That was painful. Should be fun, though.

I just posted my first crack_van rec. For some reason, I'm more jittery about this than about posting my own fic.

I wonder what it says about me that I'm less worried about people thinking I'm a bad writer than I am about people thinking I have bad taste?

Always Anti-fascist!

I felt the same way Anne. I'm not even a slasher, mostly, which puts me on Fandom's special bus wearing a football helmet.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Does het/gen really constitute a minority of fanfic? I would have thought it was the other way around, except that here there's an unusual proportion of slashers.
