Playing Tag in Cascade
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. ( Read more... ) -
How this works
Stories are grouped by categories or themes, which you see down the side as tags. What puts a story in a category? If the theme is a significant part of the story. Totally subjective on my part.
So, here are things you should know about how I’ve set things up. Again, I've taken most of these directly from Pepper's Tagging Bay City with her kind ( Read more... ) -

Scary times for the Way Back Machine
Quite honestly, since the US elections, I've tried to avoid the news. It's just too depressing.

Fandom Appreciation Challenge - Day 7: The big finale!
So, my last assignment is to write a love letter. It would be easy to write a letter extolling the awesomness that is the Jim and Blair experience, but that’s not what keeps me here.
I came to TS about six years ago. The show was already off the air and out of syndication. So, as many people did at that time, I got to TS by reading fanfic. Actually ( Read more... ) -
Fandom Appreciation Challenge - Day 6
So, at first this seemed like an easy assignment -- send feedback to three stories written for challenges. It turned out to be harder than I thought because I've already left feedback for quite a number of stories. So I had to do some digging! Don't you feel sorry for me?

Fandom Appreciation Challenge - Day 5
Today's assignment to recommend three crossovers *outside* my regular fandom is the toughest one yet. Since I read about 95% inside The Sentinel (including crossovers), that's a tall order. Fortunately, with a little help from some fen, I'm able to pull it off.
