Fic Rec

I don't pimp fics a lot in my journal, but occasionally something really, really special comes along.

People, read this fic. If you've ever watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, please read it. Please. It doesn't matter if you've never had any desire to read fic in this fandom. This fic is a feminist cry for justice, and it'll break your heart in all the best ways. Plus: it's short, gen, and powerful.

Unqualified Applicants Need Not Apply, by my beta and very good friend angearia.

I know I say this about half the memes I come across...

But this one might really be the best one ever!


TELL ME YOU LOVE ME!

Make my day by writing love letters to me in the guise of fictional characters?

A quick follow-up post

So, the consensus on my last post seems to be that I should try Torchwood first (and then West Wing! Yes, I'll get to that! Back off! ;p). madcap_shiny has suggested such a heterodox move that it makes my chronology- and continuity-loving heart tremble:

Watch S2 first.

Now, her reasoning for this is that S1 really is really bad and that I won't really like it till S2 and that by watching S2 without the bad taste of S1 in my mouth, I'll enjoy the whole thing a whole lot more.

I trust her, but the idea of this petrifies me. But what think you, flist? Is this wisdom or folly?

I just want to take this opportunity to say that for some reason, I love it when people tell me which characters/pairings I'm gonna love on a TV show before I watch it. Y'all are almost always right, and it fills me with glee. The predictions for TW thus far are: Owen and Tosh. I suspect this will be proved correct. :D My personal hypothesis is that I will continue to not be a fan of Jack and might even like him less after this show.

Also, to those of you--whoever you are--who wrote me love notes for the meme, y'all are awesome and adorable and creative and wonderful. I adore you.

Sorry for the spam, y'alll

But one more thing tonight. (And hopefully I'll shut up after that.)

For those of you who are Buffy/Spike-ly inclined, what's something you'd like to see me write about them? My seasonal_spuffy date is Monday and I decided last week that there's no way to finish my dark!fic or my baby!fic in time. I'm working on something now that's about four chapters long, and I think I might be able to finish it, but I want to have a backup plan in case.

I prefer S7 or post-NFA prompts, please, just because that's the mood I'm in and I'd have to do a ton of rewatching of other seasons and I just don't have time for that. Though go ahead and throw out stuff from other timeperiods, too. I just wanted to get you thinking along the same lines I am.

Note: my id-post suggestions are off the table. Yes, even just writing about them running around Vienna. I'm probably going to do that at some point, but not right now. I need more time for that.

As always, I make no guarantees.
