OMG YES! Tira Nog's fics are always looong, full of w00bie-ness from the character I most prefer w00bie-ized (SevSnape!
WRodney!), h/c...
I WUV them! & I mean wuv. I'm fully aware of their shortcomings, but... WUV. They just hit all my buttons, & I don't care if Tira Nog isn't the most revered, thinky, OMG fandom's upside dawn writer. Those are stories that always end well after lots of suffering! The best!

down. upside DOWN. *scurries away in shame*

jane_elliot August 22 2007, 21:21:05 UTC

Hee! No worries. I've had days like those.

Back to Tira Nog, I could swear that she wrote a story called The Brough that Breaks in the Sentinel or Due South, but I can't seem to find it. This is really going to bug me now...

titc August 23 2007, 08:46:35 UTC

You can ask her on tiranog!

jane_elliot August 23 2007, 14:34:30 UTC

Oh, excellent! Updating recs now...

jane_elliot August 22 2007, 21:18:47 UTC

Exactly! Actually, I often find BNFs (and BNSs) to be overly literary (read: pretentious) and highly depressing and, frankly, that's not what I want from fanfiction. I want hurt with lots of comfort, I straight men to be suddenly gay, I want trust issues and first-time angst, and, most of all, I want a happy ending, damn it!

(erm. I've been a bit crabby lately, can you tell?)

titc August 23 2007, 08:58:23 UTC

I think she's one of the most well-known writers in quite a few fandoms, because everybody loves her stuff - but she's sort of a guilty pleasure. You indulge in Tira Nog's stories ;-)

jane_elliot August 23 2007, 14:37:06 UTC

Heh. I seem to recall using the phrase 'wallowed in' when I first recced one of her stories:) And, of course, that's exactly why we like her!

titc August 23 2007, 15:50:27 UTC

You know, this exchange has just driven me back to her website to read her Highlander series. OMG Methos!
I must thank you for reminding me of those stories I hadn't read yet ;-)

jane_elliot August 23 2007, 15:53:57 UTC

Are here Highlander stories good?

Grr, I wish she wrote in Sentinel. It's a *perfect* fandom for her blend of angst, melodrama, romance, and schmoopiness...

titc August 23 2007, 15:58:10 UTC

Well, I've almost finished the first one, and so far it's trademark Tiranog - past abuse, angst, misunderstanding, etc. Wuv ;-)

jane_elliot August 23 2007, 16:07:49 UTC

It *has* been a while since I read/recced Highlander...Clearly I should check it out;)

Also...

Re: spamspamspam titc August 23 2007, 15:55:28 UTC

(I hit 'send' instead of 'backspace', apperntly. I don't know how...)
BNS? what are those? Big name... sinners?

Re: spamspamspam titc August 23 2007, 15:57:09 UTC

apparently.
Damn.

Re: spamspamspam jane_elliot August 23 2007, 16:10:59 UTC

Hee! I actually made up BNS for Big Name Stories (such as Freedom Is Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose, which is absolutely raved about, and which I didn't even manage to get halfway through.) There are a few BNFs (Shalott, Speranza) that write stories I consider worth reading, but most (and I won't name names, because that's a can of worms I just don't want to open) are horribly overrated. IM(not so humble, because I'm still crabby, damnit)O.
