Slashy Awards 140: It Is Not in Mortals to Command the Hot Gay Sex

[thefourthvine]

In the past, I've gone into the concept of the Aliens Make Them Do It story - oh, have I ever - but aliens can't take full responsibility for all the sexing, you know. Even the most assiduously lascivious extra-terrestrial needs a break sometime. But never fear, because anything, properly applied, can get the characters into the appropriately

Ever since I got sucked into The Sentinel fandom, I've wanted to dip my toes into due South as well. (Seems like just about every good TS writer is/was active in dS also.) And here you come along with a rec that makes me want to read a story even though I have no clue about any of the canon characters or events.

You're the fannish version of Dwight. Dwight was the crack dealer that used to live three houses down from my parents. Of course Dwight is in prison now - or, well, he was *sent* to prison a couple of years ago, but knowing the Texas justice system he's probably out by now. Um...anyway...long way of saying THANK YOU for bringing the fandom crack. I am a rabid repeat customer of yours!

I'm off to read about these Fraser and Ray people now...

Okay, crawling back into my cave now...

Ooh...thank you! Now I know what I'll be doing all day tomorrow. Hee

I am proud to be a fannish crack dealer. It's my vocation.

And malnpudl is absolutely right with her links - she knows from dS. The CV overview is what I used to get into this fandom, and the Ship Manifesto is great. And, because dS people tend to love their fandom long and loud, I'm going to offer you a number of links. You'll probably have seen some of them before, but - well, just in case.

DS has some of the best infrastructure I've seen in a fandom, both on LJ and off. On LJ, there's the famed ds_flashfiction community, which is still going strong, and which has a huge back catalog in the memories. New stories and other related stuff is announced in ds_noticeboard. Off LJ, there's the Due South Archive, which is one of the few all-inclusive fandom archives I've seen, and Due Slash, which is, well, slash. If you see a broken link (which is a problem in a fandom this old), odds are good you'll find the story at one of these two sites.

I recommended a couple of good starter stories in my dS FIHL, which is old, but the canon is closed, so that doesn't matter too

I'm adding this entire entry to my memories so I can have all of this in one handy place. And then tomorrow will be due South day at Casa de Trina.

Thank you again!

Ooo, you're just getting into Due South? You lucky, lucky girl!

Have fun glutting yourself on amazing stories;)
