Slashy Awards 150: Text Is the New Black

Aug 28, 2006 07:40

Last night, Best Beloved said to me, "Hey, remember when you used to rec fic?"

Of course, I immediately snapped, "I still do rec fic." And I was entirely correct. But it seems that some actual recommending of actual fan fiction might go a long way toward proving that ( Read more... )

Fic! Gen! Recs!!

I am especially looking foward to the Firefly zombie story!

The Firefly zombie story is very much fun.

Oh, and since I have you here - you said in the vid watcher poll that there's a great vid for The Shield, but the information is in your now-dead computer. If it's the vid I think it is, no dead computer should separate you from it, so I wanted to tell you how to find it.

I'm guessing it's melina123's vid Bawitdaba. killabeez hosts Melina's vids, and because of a recent bout of massive unpleasantness, they've gone password-protected. You can email melina123 at livejournal dot com and she'll give you the password, and then you'll be able to redownload Bawitdaba if you like.

It really is a fabulous vid.

Oh, thanks!! You truly rock!

Couldn't agree with you more about Uncanny Valley. I read the story months ago and still every now and then I found myself thinking about them sitting there and I ache.
I hope she writes a sequel.

thefourthvine August 28 2006, 19:18:43 UTC

She sort of did! liviapenn pointed me to it; it's in chatlog form. You can find it here (scroll down to nearly the end).

*snuffles*

Oh, John.

ainaria August 28 2006, 20:12:01 UTC

*sigh* I read it. And I still ache, though I suppose it's a little bit better - he's little bit better.

Sarah doesn't usually write sequels, but she did offer to write happy commentfic a while back, and posted a chatlog version of a happy resolution for "Uncanny Valley..."

It is here, the very last one.

thefourthvine August 28 2006, 19:24:52 UTC

Oooo! Thank you so much for pointing me to that; it's not quite the happy ending of my dreams, but it really works. (And I love having Spike's encouraging interlinear comments - she's, like, coaching Sarah T. and John through it at the same time.)

...is amused and entertained as always with your rec sets, and yet still sad.

plots to convert you via vids...at least to the gen side.

thefourthvine August 28 2006, 19:30:54 UTC

Oh, I watch the vids, believe you me. I feel like you did when SGA was the Big Thing: I stare at the vids like the kid staring in at the party she's not invited to, and I think, Make me get it. Make me get it. Let me in! So far, no luck in the "getting it" department, but I've seen some wonderful vids. (SPN has a really dark palette, doesn't it? Everything seems to have dark blue tones in the vids. I love that.)

Exceptions are totally allowed, and I'm delighted either way. I'm happy you read me for the entertainment, and I'm thrilled that I sold you on these stories, because these are great. (Although if you read them all at one sitting (and you're a total endings wimp like me), you'll really need that Firefly story.)
