aw, I'm sorry we don't have the stories you were looking forward to. I can sympathize with that! The only ones that are filled are at the bottom of the listing, and they do have links. Seven of them I think? None you'd like except maybe that ping you mentioned for SPN porn, I did fill that, a short, AU story set at the end of season 7 right after the trials.
I will be SURE to post an LJ entry if we fill the S&H prompts. They sound good, don't they? I love when a fannish friend likes the darker stories with us:)
You know, I used to be a one-fandom person - hard to believe now, and I'd place a lot of that at Cass's door. She's very open to new stuff and I am moreso now because of her. I don't actively participate in many fandoms (and not often anymore) - I have a core set of ASJ, S&H, SPN and POTA. I like those other shows/books/movies/comics and read fan fiction in them occasionally. Are you a one-fandom kind of person?
I think they look quite beautiful! Yes, we are dark, and we like dark. In fact I remember venturing into SPN with a specific goal of finding dark, since S&H wasn't giving me that.
That quote is very true. Wasn't someone scarred so much after my zine they didn't read fiction for a good long while? I don't mind saying that I don't understand that, or the fact that whoever it was kept reading when the experience was obviously traumatic.
Oh yes, that quote came from the same conversation. This was what was said (forgive me if the formatting is off - copy/paste from Yahoo Groups is spotty at best): "Truth to tell the zine that stopped my Starsky & Hutch reading in its tracks and sent me off to read outside the fandom (and I have had trouble getting back to it ever since) is Blood and Destiny. The bookmark is still on page 61."
I would have respectfully disagreed that it was the zine that caused her to stop reading S&H. A person who decides to read a zine which warns there ARE no warnings has made a decision, and moreso if they know the act of doing so could harm their reading habits irreparably. At the very least, they could chose to stop reading when a story begins to bother rather than waiting until the point where they feel scarred by the thing.
I admit that it's hard to feel empathy when the issue is described in what sounds to me like hysteria and finger-pointing, and accusations that the zine has ruined their S&H fannish reading altogether, when they could have put the book down.

I'm reminded of this quote from the Me and Thee list: "Cassandra and Kassidy both write quite dark stories, not to everyone's tastes."
Thank goodness we have each other : ) *mwah*
