I recently mirrored my last existing fanfiction (stories and poems) from my own fansite to my AO3 account, and wound them all back to their original dates.  (This has been my main fanfic activity for months! Little reading and less writing, just archiving.)  Now comes the task of mirroring in reverse, because of course I edited as I went.  (I ( Read more... )

In honor of tv_elf today, here are six brand-new Don Schanke userpic icons up for grabs.  (If you'd like one for your very own, tell me and I'll delete it so no one else can pick it up.)  Enjoy!

It's still November where I am, honest!

What's Good?  November's recommendation was "Soaring" (2005) by Kristen F., a canon-careful N&N friendship interlude, and a broad-brush illustration of the storytelling efficacy of the right perspective.        Natalie blushed, her heart rate increased, and she dropped her eyes before she gave him an ( Read more... )

Happy birthday, tv-elf.  I miss you.

Recently, in FK on my LJ Friends List:

• abby82 shared a new T+V vid to the song " Almost Lover" on December 17; this is one of precious few Tracy vids I've ever seen.  She also posted a new N&N story titled " Flight of the Imagination" (Rated R) on November 16.  (It has not yet appeared anywhere else.)  And on November 11, she posted about her works in ( Read more... )

I'm on digest, so I don't know whether someone else has announced this here already.  tv-elf, dear friend and FK fan (Merc and FoD), died peacefully on Sunday afternoon ( Read more... )

Good friend and FK Fan tv-elf, whom you'll remember as a Merc and a FoD from the old days, and whom you may have met at Bridging the Knight or any Vividcon, or perhaps from her most recent FK fanfiction, has been in the hospital since Friday ( Read more... )

What's good?  For February, the recommendation-of-the-month project features tv-elf's inventive, amusing " Things Unsaid" (2007), set circa 2011, in a reality unlike any other I've ever seen trying to cope with the aftermath of third season ( Read more... )

I did not participate in any story exchanges this year, but tv-elf generously wrote me a gift story anyway.  Brand new, not yet even posted to fkfic-l, her " Things Unsaid" is that shining brilliant thing twelve years past cancellation called a new scenario.  Its characters include Nick, Natalie, Jenny Schanke and more I cannot name without spoiling ( Read more... )
