I'm still writing Rhett and Link RPF, though less fervently than this summer, which I've just been posting to AO3 and announcing on tumblr because I doubt anyone reading this has any interest in them. I still have a complete first draft of the story I posted this morning, so I'm sticking it here for the heckity-heck of it. The story itself, a bit ( Read more... )

- Been traveling since last Thursday; spent four days with my parents & brother and two with C's sister. Vague details and even vaguer thinky thoughts to come; today I need to get to work ( Read more... )

- I've engaged a little in the comments section of a Huffington Post article on Sex, Desire, and Fan Fiction, by Foz Meadows. I like how the author explains what all the sexing is about: Which brings us back to fan fiction, and the reason why it's so heavily saturated with sex: because when you take two people you already care about, whose ( Read more... )

My sga_genficathon story ( Wraith-Blasting with the Stars, corrected slightly here) was the first AU I've ever created (I've written in the M7 ATF AU, but that doesn't really count). And... well, once I bagged trying to explain how Teyla got to the theatre, it wasn't super-hard to write, though it was a bit of a trick trying to keep track of who ( Read more... )

My ten-year-old, G, and I have been surfing around FF.net almost every evening this summer, looking for fic for Disney and Teen Nick shows.

I've guest-blogged over on the OTW's Symposium Blog: The Last Ring-bearer, about media reaction to the recent English translation of a Russian pro LOTR fic.

Hey all! Below is an overview of Stargate: Universe I'm putting together for crack_van. I've been driving the van all month, and have been reccing SG-1 and SGA fic, but I wanted to rec a little SGU before the month was through, and figured I'd do an overview to go with it ( Read more... )

It's been frustrating being an SGU fan. I've been loving the show (usually) and enjoying ficcing it, but it's been hard to get much conversation going about it, and I love critical-but-fond fandom conversations. Four or five people post responses regularly, the most detailed being jelgate's, but I'm greedy, I want more, from more POVs ( Read more... )

I've seen it written that Mary Sues, choose your precise definition, are a developmental step we all go through. I don't think this is always true; or maybe I'm just getting there.
