A meme for August!

Jul 28, 2010 17:48

I just found this on Northern's DW journal, and it's a nice fic-based take on the one-a-day-for-a-month memes that have been going around, so how about we have a go at filling in our own answers for Awesome August ( Read more... )

awesome august, recs

Sounds like fun - but I have lost the links to a lot of the things I would answer with. May give it a try anyway, though.

It's tragic how many links no longer work. My popslash bookmarks are wilting badly.

sigh. I will READ YOUR POST before I comment the next time, and save my answer for when you've actually posted a question.

Enthusiasm is always welcome! ;-)

why doesn't August 31st get a theme?

pensnest July 28 2010, 17:35:51 UTC

It will, probably "best popslash story EVAH" or something like that, but the meme only comes with 30 days.

Ooh, awesome! I was working on a rec list, but I think this will be more fun. :D I don't know if I'll be able to come up with 30 stories, since my bookmarks have been pared down considerably. But will try! Thanks Pen!

:D Yay! Let's do! You take half and I'll take half then? lol

This sounds like fun! I always enjoy seeing what other people rec. But it's tragic how many links don't work any more.

I'd been trying to put together a recs list for your Awesome August but I was feeling guilty because all the stories I was working with are "old" stories; I haven't been keeping up with the newest postings so much, and that's not fair to those writers. The other problem I have is that I try to list both BSB and Nsync stories, and I've been having a really difficult time representing both groups more or less equally, because there's just so much more Nsync fic out there. (Also, just FYI, I tried to access the Dragon Challenge stories from your lj page and the link doesn't work.)

It's such a shame so many links are broken now. *woe* I think there always were more Nsync slash stories around than BSB, don't quite know why but a discussion we had a the last CS but one suggested the fandoms were somewhat different in character. Anyhow, keep up the good work!

I'll have a poke at the Dragon Challenge link-thanks for letting me know. The complete Dragon index is here, and there are some very rec-able stories in there!
