I've started adding author tags and some other random content tags to giles_fic_recs. I'll probably do a few as a meditative exercise whenever I'm stuck. Patterns in the content tags will emerge as I go, and then I'll have established a good base tagset

I read through your Ethan ficathon post because I was curious about what people were requesting. I had to sit on my hands to keep from entering when I read the post about doing an Ethan/Snape fic. Whoever they are, they rock. I can't wait to read the entry for it.

Good luck with the whole thing, btw! :)

I do love the crossovers. The particular one could be explosive. I have not yet read it, but firefly-124 just posted "Marked Men", which is Ripper & Snape!

Morning! *waves* Er, if it's still morning where you are.

While I could flail about at the awesomeness of Doctor Who, I'm assuming you've already seen that in my own lj. It really is a well-written and clever show and deserves all the flailing.

And if you need someone to discuss it with, I'm totally here for you!

I saw that! And I thought, man, I should really be watching this.

This was a good post to read going into my own action sequences. I was aware of the whole "no straight lines" thing, though I'd never put it that way before. *considers*

That's a really terse phrasing for the principle. But one way to get yourself some nice rising action is to let the hero's actions complicate the situation or make it worse. Or perhaps to overcome the current obstacle only to reveal another one. Let the hero make mistakes.

Marty tries to get away from the Libyans by driving the DeLorean, but he goes over 70mph and triggers the time machine, thus making his predicament much worse. (I love taking examples from that movie.)
