Does anyone know if Black, White and Read (the Gilmore Girls fanfic site) is gone?  I keep getting error messages when I try to connect to it.  Huh.

Okay, so what is it about a pairing or show that drives people to write things out of canon or not?  In my broadening fanfic reading, I have found that the Alternative reality/universe concept seems to be adopted by some fanfic segments and not others.  Using the Buffy-verse as an example of how some pairs in the same universe are treated ( Read more... )

I watched Buffy and Angel on TV, but I was slow to come to the internet world of fandom.  I started with Veronica Mars and have slowly branched out as I went.  I even read Buffy/Spike now (well, human AUs, anyway), when I never, ever shipped them on the show.  I was definitely a Buffy/Angel girl.

Probably no one remembers this, but back in the ( Read more... )

So, I've been doing some fanfic reading lately (a lot of Buffy, actually), and I have a question.  Does "shook his/her head" signify agreement or disagreement to you?  I always thought that "shook" indicated a side-to-side motion, therefore meaning no, and that "nod" indicated an up-and-down motion, meaning yes.  But I have noticed that in many of ( Read more... )

FNL is slowly redeeming itself, I think.  I did enjoy much of the episode this week, when I could avoid being annoyed by elements of storylines I have never agreed with -- namely Matt/Carlotta, at this point.

Anyway, what is it about those hard-luck boys that makes us girls want to help them so much?  Okay, it helps when they are cute too (although ( Read more... )

I think I have turned into a Buffy/Angel-shipper smut fiend.  Seriously.  This is kind of weird.  When it comes to VM fanfic, I will read anything and all ratings (although I do have a favorite ship, obviously) and I am pretty open to different pairings, although I am not a huge slash fan.  I read pretty much all FNL fic, but I am a bit more ( Read more... )

I am so missing my VM fanfic.  It is down to some sort of a vague trickle.  It makes me so sad.  About a year ago, I was up to my eyeballs in VM fanfic and loving it.  It was my introduction to fanfic and there was so much awesome stuff around.  I guess the blechy season 3 has killed my initial addiction as it seems to have killed the muses of many ( Read more... )

So, yes, my fanfic addiction is over-arching. I came into work today and all sorts of things were out -- lights, e-mail, network servers with all of my files on it for the very important federal work that must be done. And what is thing that makes me the most irritated? Lack of internet access of course! How can I check updates, etc. if there ( Read more... )
