Playing Tag in Cascade

[magician114]

For years I've been organizing TS stories by category.  It seems to be the way people like to read.  "I've just read a great story where Jim stays in the Army and meets Blair in Peru -- are there anymore out there?"  You get the picture.  So, ckua_pepper  pointed me to her site where she captured stories for Starsky and Hutch by category and I was amazed.

This is great. I always loved your organized list of fic - clear through your replies on TSStoryfinders. After I became frustrated searching for fic I know I have saved on my computer, I'm in the process to do something like this with Stargate stories and The Sentinel is my next attempt. Not exactly like this - they are my saved and loved stories - and I'm trying to give a brief summary for each. For now, for The Sentinel I'll put on my page a link for this journal, if I may. Please let me know if it's ok with you. Thank you so much for this resource.

Oh sure! You are most welcome to use this however you like.

I never was able to get the hang of delicious, but I know a lot of people use it for doing exactly what you're talking about -- putting a link, tags and summary. So that might work better for you. I went this route because delicious seemed so busy when I've gone to other people's lists. However, I might not have given it a fair chance.

Anyway, when I saw Pepper's lovely Starsky and Hutch site, it really resonated, so I went this route.

Thanks so much for your comments. I look forward to seeing what you are doing. And I do love when someone puts a summary, so that will be nice. I expect Stargate will be as daunting a task as TS, even if you are just going for your favorites. There are a lot of good writers in the fandoms.

I just discovered this wonderful site. You are going to cause me to loose a lot of sleep reading all the wonderful stories you have found. I can always depend on you to find and organize the best of Sentinel fanfiction. Great job!!

Ha! Sleep is way overrated. :^b

Thanks so much for your kind words. I'll be working more diligently this year to populate this site. Expect many more categories and so more reasons for keeping you awake.

This is great; thank you so much for sharing all your hard work. I'm saving a link to the page as a whole, and to the individual sections

Oh goodness, yes. There are so many categories I haven't posted yet, even though I've made a start on them. Your suggestions, of course will add to them. What I'm finding is that as I decide which category to focus on, I'll want to check around a bit to see if there's a lot I've missed before I go through the coding and such to add an entry.

I think I'd separate these into two categories: one where they are chronologically kids, as in One Bright Summer, and then one where they are regressed for whatever reason. And in the case of Puffer Bellies (which is Maaaa's), I'd probably also include it on a disabilities list, since I think it's a traumatic brain injury. You are right in that there are so many, but it's fun to travel along the path, even though it might never get finished.

And I've spent many a midnight wondering where the time went too! Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Send more anytime you feel like it.

hugs

This is such a great site. I love thinking of a category and then coming here to see what you have listed. For example just recently I looked for Thanks giving stories (and then chuckled because the next day someone asked for TG stories on ficfinders and were sent here).

Anyway I hope you are still adding categories, this is such a fun page.

Anyway I hope you are still adding categories, this is such a fun page.

Thanks so much, my dear. It is a lot of fun putting them together. I actually had to step back and do some major updating because we had so many URL changes this year. So now most of the links are back to being current again.

Yes, I'm definitely adding more posts. Right now I'm working on the dreaded Christmas story list. It seems as if every author has not one but at least 3 Christmas stories. Sheesh, it will be long. But I said in my holidays post that it would be out by Dec 25, so that's a priority.

I'm also putting the finishing touches on a project I call "Looking for one good story". It's something I asked for over a year ago at TS Talk -- asking people to name perhaps not their favorite, but one good solid story they could recommend. Most came up with titles and authors but not the links, so I'm looking them up and I hope to have it done soon.

This fandom is so much fun!
