Eight Days of Happiness: Alternate Universes
I love alternate universes. Good ones, that is. I just got finished trying to read an original fiction author's hideous, horrible attempt to write an AU of her own (published) work, and it made me appreciate fandom even more than I usually do

About Teacup story. I'm beginning to think that I should stick to modern day AU only (and gen, too, says me, forever slasher, because I get bad goose bumps down my spine and my jaw hurts from grinding when I read how that master/servant relationship transfers into sexual situations - mind you, usually transfers, and God bless astolat for once again writing more or less bedroom equals in defiance to all fandom). So, modern day AUs. Why? paperclipbitch wrote Next Time, I Will Remember This And I Will Say 'No', and it is good. astolat wrote a dozen stories, and they are good, especially The Crown of the Summer Court. But. None of them give me that wonderful magical old days feeling that the show does. I know that the show is anachronistic as hell, and language there isn't exactly old English. But somehow I want that all from non-AU Merlin fic. It's sad, really. Am I justified in being whiny little edjit? The only consoling thing is, Lady Paperclip writes both modern AUs and not so top Arthur.
I've wanted to ask you an off-topic question for some time. I've looked through your SGA recs and didn't see fiercelydreamed's stories. Now, there're three reasons for that: you didn't like them, you haven't read them, you didn't have time yet to rec them. As I'm at this time debating with myself on who is my favourite SGA author is, rheanna27 or fiercelydreamed, I'd really like some contra argument if it's the first option. If it's the second, OMG go read them now. If it's the third, well, all things will come in their time.
