Whee! wesleysgirl finished my charity fic: Time to Find You (The Sentinel, Jim/Blair). Not only did I get my Jim/Blair reunion fix (one of my all-time favorite story tropes), but I got a Buffy crossover as a bonus! Yee-hah ( Read more... )

Once again, fandom is pulling together to help someone in need, and I'm proud to be part of it. A friend of sweptawaybayou, a single mother of six kids, lost everything she had in a recent fire. The fire_fic community has been set up to help raise funds to help her and her children, and writers and artists are signing up in droves to offer stories and artwork in ( Read more... )

tabaqui has been on my list of Top 20 Spike/Xander writers for a very long time. Our fandom paths went in different directions a while ago, and I've missed her particular brand of lyrical/poetic/atmospheric/sensual writing and her unpretentious literary allusions.

So, when I saw Ms. T's offer in last spring's Sweet Charity auction, I jumped at the chance ( Read more... )

Pimp #1: Boundaries by janedavitt. (The Sentinel, J/B, rating: R) Jane wrote this story for me in exchange for my donation to Sweet Charity, and it exceeded my expectations in several ways. I asked for older Jim and Blair reconciling after a several-year separation or rift, and I gave her several suggestions for details that she could weave into the story if ( Read more... )

Attention all Sentinel slash fans: if you haven't already done so, go and read Refugee Status by lamardeuse, the first of three stories that I won at the Sweet Charity auction in March

It's everything I asked for -- and more! lamardeuse has breathed new life into the well-worn reunion trope (which happens to be one of my all-time favorites). I'm so pleased! ::bounce

Wow, I hit the virtual jackpot last night -- I won all three of my Sweet Charity auction bids! Usually I lose on auctions because I live on the East Coast and someone on the West Coast out-bids me at the last minute (I just can't stay up until midnight Pacific Time anymore ( Read more... )

It's not too late to observe Worlds AIDS Day. Please join me in lighting a virtual candle for AIDS research. For each candle lit at this site, Brystol-Myers Squibb will donate $1 to AIDS research.

On a lighter note, H and I have been surfing Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things. It's a fun site, with links to things like ( Read more... )

wesleysgirl finished my charity fic! You can find all 11 chapters of Deciphering Fire here in her Memories. This story of Spike and Xander joining forces several years after breaking up in order to help Dawn in a crisis was funny, exciting, and charming by turns. I knew I'd love the Spander plot, but the delightful surprise was WG's characterization of Dawn. ( Read more... )

I'm frantically and fruitlessly (hey, alliteration! :) attempting to catch up after spending most of my free time in the last two weeks watching the Olympics and Highlander (Can I just say that Adrian Paul is one of the most beautiful men I've ever seen? He could be the love child of Sean Connery and Cary Grant. And why did it take me so long to ( Read more... )
