Someone please tell me the off-screen story of "the darkest dawn SunS collaborative universe"?  (I've read all neonhummingbird's pieces there, but not yet the others.)

I recommend neonhummingbird's Buffyverse fanfiction.  I recognize that this is exceedingly late, from one perspective, but I only just began reading it this past weekend -- what? I wasn't even watching back then! -- so I'm claiming great promptness.  Especially treat yourself to:

• "To Let You Go"
  (angst, adventure, plot, development, canon-diverges-here; Willow, ( Read more... )

My dear friend V. has been missing her beloved Stargate: SG1 a lot lately.  A lot, a lot.  To the point where she tried some of the professional novels -- which she can ill afford new just now -- and then asked after fanfiction for the first time ( Read more... )

( 3 Question Survey on Preferred Fanfic Length )

I read 39 of the 50 stories in this summer's mcshep_match round.  Of those, if McShep is your cup of tea, I think these (below) are most worth your time.  I must note that I don't know two beans about slash or Stargate Atlantis; I just like Rodney and John interacting, a preference that appears virulently contagious.  But FWIW, I liked:

Everyone home and unpacked from Worldcon?  Ready to notice that Oldschoolfic is holding a back-to-school ficathon?  The scheduling may not be optimal, but consider just taking a look, anyway: this time, the minimum length is only 500 words, the system is pick-a-prompt, and all the stories are to be somehow on the theme of school.  Think about leaving a ( Read more... )

brightknightie, at the end of July, posted about the forsaken_fandom awards project, which attempts to encourage fiction in fandoms that have few or no active awards projects of their own.  I have nothing to add to that post -- except that the range is the past five years, not three; perhaps they changed it -- but I thought I would call out the list of eligible series here ( Read more... )

In case you haven't heard, there has very recently been a new mcsmooch round, and mcshep_match entries are posting two per day.  (I am in this corner of this fandom because of wesleysgirl's "On Life and Living."  Otherwise, I'm as baffled as anyone at my preference there.)

I would like to add three Firefly stories to my femme_fic "We Love Female Characters" ficathon recommendations.

• Beginnings! " Silkscreen" by llyfrgell (Zoe's POV, when Inara first comes aboard)
• Bereavement! " Black for Your Funeral, Green for Grassy Ground" by liviapenn (Zoe's POV, shortly after Wash's death)
• Plot! " The Verse That Was" by spiletta42 (Mostly Inara's POV, a caper)

Addendum: And Angel. And Oz. And Spike.
