This is seriously my favorite thing in the universe. The last link I had to it broke and I died a little. Thank you!!

It's me again. That was the Grocery Store Challenge.

Here are the stories!

The page is blank. Unless it is my computer.

amelialourdes October 1 2010, 20:18:31 UTC

Crap. They deleted it. Well, thank god for the wayback machine!

New link.

Hello, Morpheus! Nice to see you here. Are you getting an itchy writing hand, by any chance? You know everyone would be more than thrilled to read a new fic from you. ;)

In case your nostalgia continues, here are a bunch of the old challenges, and a couple newer ones, too.

For newer readers, you must check these fics out. And check out the other challenges and fic comms listed on the Sidebar, too.

THANK YOU! I am delighted beyond words to get this link.

court1429 October 1 2010, 23:39:46 UTC

YAY! for pointing out some new fic. I know you'll find lots to occupy your reading time for awhile. There are many fandom favorites in these challenges. Ramble around in the Sidebar Challenge links, too.

Thanks! I woulda sworn that was one there. It's one of my favorites. I'll add it with the wayback link.

netlagd October 2 2010, 13:31:51 UTC

I dig around and see if I can find the page that lists the actual authors of the fics - because there are some well known ones, but the way back machine page doesn't have the page where the authors are listed with the fics.

I was looking for something else for tagging and ran across this fic, How to Be Dead, by mojokid. I've read a couple over the years where Vic's a ghost and visits Brian, so I don't know if this is the one you were thinking of, or not. She's such a good writer, it's worth the read, regardless.

mmmorpheusq March 21 2011, 02:30:23 UTC

Yes, it WAS "How to be Dead;" I found it some time ago. Poignant, and very well written! Thanks.
