fic talk and then some

I think it's interesting how there are a lot more AU fics in fandoms [femslash fandoms, since I'm the most familiar with those] with canon parings than in ones with subtext parings. Take Bad Girls for instance: at least 90% of the fics are AU, while there may be some random missing scenes a few post-Season 3 Helen/Nikki fics here and there. Granted ( Read more... )

Hmmm...I'm not that familiar with slash so I was wondering what AU is?

AU = Alternative Universe. The writer basically takes the characters and places them into a setting that is completely different from the original one. :)

You're icon is pretty. ♥

If it were me, I'd place the characters in a typical Tipping The Velvet or Fingersmith setting all the time... somehow that makes it irresistible for me *cold showers*

Mmmm....Tipping The Velvet/Fingersmith setting. Not a bad choice. At all!

Who would've known that I'm such a prude little Finn? :p

The Wild West one can be found here; that's the newest SVU AU I've read. Actually, I've read one SVU High School AU [well, a boaring school] that was pretty good. I have to dig up the link from somewhere.

You have to see Bad Girls; it's a must!

Ooo, Alex as a Russian secret agent? Mmmmm.

Mmm... I know the one. A Dangerous Game, A/O. Tis good.

And I've read The Slave from Gaul. Too ... plot orientated. No smut or anything.

Do you want me to hunt down the link for Alex a la Secret Service? Think it's called Alex in Romania or ... something. But want me to get it?

A Dangerous Game you say? Hmm... No idea what the title was, but there can't be too many boarding school AUs out there. :p So yeah, it was probably that.

I haven't even heard about The Slave From Gaul. *scratches head* When you have time, I'd love to get a link to that one, and also to the Alex-in-a-secret-service. >D

So that is Heights of Abraham! Thank you so much for clearing that up. <3 I was going nuts not knowing what the heck it is. No idea why it was in the exam, since the teacher hadn't even mentioned the term during the course. Oh, well. :p

Yes, I'm doing good, never better I'd say. ^^;; I hope everything's going well for you as well, and I think about you often too!

yah ;) well the Heights of Abraham isn't that well known of a thing (so I thought ;)) I'm actually sort of impressed that it was on a Finnish exam :D *patriotic*
