So this is the show that spawned the fic that spawned the tags of which I did not know the origin. Here is the thing I learned today.
Edited for ... words that go together.
Book ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Polyarmous Recommendations, by Shrift and Nestra is a great source of really good DS stories.
Also DS fandom is having quite a resurgance on LJ. There are several communities--ds_flashfiction, for shorter stories, ds_reporter--that keeps tabs and updates on actors appearances, stories written, articles,etc; ds_discourse to discuss episodes, etc (there's an IRC chat for that as well), ds_writers, for discussing writing, looking for betas, etc. I think that's all of the ds communities. oh! and an icon community but i'm blanking on the name, it might just be dsicons.
Fanfic. (Well, and being in the Due South topic...)
Color me at least slightly boggled that people read fics in fandoms for shows they don't watch. Curiouser and curiouser.
I've read fanfic for shows i've never watched, it's been a way to get introduced to new shows.
Also a reminder--MI-5 is on tonight on A&E at 9 EST for those of you who watch it/started watching it.
Very true. And not nearly as bizzare as writing fics for shows you don't watch.
Whereas I've never been able to really get into fic for shows I don't watch, no matter how well-written and plotted the story as a story. It's a different strokes thing, I suppose.
Mmmm. MI-5.
And yes, today's HL ep is extra-slashy. Big Gay Poet Love.
Writing fics for shows you don't watch can be considered bad form.
Although I've done something like this, sort of. Back a few years ago when the Buffistas were on TT, I was really into this X Men Iceman/Gambit fanfic series (before the movie came out) and I read it, liked it, but it didn't have an ending yet so I wrote one. Gudanov actually beta'd it for me.
I've since taken it down, but the story itself, once I changed the names and altered a few details read exactly like any other generically bad original fic.
I guess I can say I watched Due South, watch Smallville and have never given Farscape a proper chance. Is that enough OnTopic not to count as filler? Hope so.
The Farscape dvds are at my library and keep saying "watch me watch me" but they are always episodes I've seen and I'm not interested in seeing again.
I really should like Farscape it's got all the elements for me to like it but...I just...there's no click.
