Soledad's Journal

So, since I promised to post other things than just update alerts, I was trying to think of something of interest and came to this topic.

In any case, those are my favourite authors on FF.Net. Feel free to share yours if you like.

Behind the tag, you can find a short essay (sort of) about what baffles me most in the unlikely and ungrounded slash pairings I sometimes come across while reading fanfiction. Don't look if you're easily insulted on behalf of your OTP.

Which is what makes the Sherlock section on FF.Net such a hard place to find anything worth reading. So, here I'm giving you a few author names that won't disappoint you if you want to read really good stories:
senvenpercent
chappysmom
stillwaters1
And that's basically it, since saki101 doesn't post to FF.Net. All other authors are to be approached with care. You can get nasty surprises when you expect them the least.

I've added a few new recs to telekis_vendiak, my reading recommendation page. FF.Net really makes it easy for me with its Share function, and it's a good way to keep track on favourites anyway.

The new additions are a Merlin modern AU, an old favourite from the LotR fandom, a Torchwood AU and a very funny Blakes7 fic from the July session of picowrimo.

Have fun, I certainly did.

It was long overdue, so I've finally updated telekis_vendiak, my fanfic recommendation page.

Oh, and when we're already talking about updates: "Tales of Halabor 05" has just been posted to all the usual places. Dedicated to all the fans of the manly Men of Gondor.

I've added recs to my absolute Original Galactica favourites to telekis_vendiak. I apologize by the fans of the new show, but there were no recs for that one on the list.

I won't go into detail how much I was offended by the so-called "reimagined" show - those who know me know it already. There will be no divine intervention or unexpected miracle that could change my opinion about it, so let's not argue about the topic.

However, for those who'd like what great stories the original has inspired during the last 25 or so years, now can look them up at telekis_vendiak. Currently, all the links given there are working, I've checked every single one.

Oh, and by the way, I've acquired the entire original show on DVD a few months ago and re-watched it. Let me tell you: despite the occasional silly episode (and which show doesn't have those), it's still captivating.

I wish to God Richard Hatch had gotten the okay for his vision, The Second Coming! That would have been a worthy continuation of the original, with the Cylons finally showed according to Glen A. Larson's original idea (reptiles in armour rather than clumsy robots) and a lot of other things. But we weren't that lucky. I still grieve for the series that never was.

I've added a couple of new recommendations to telekis_vendiak. So far I have 23 recs in 11 different fandoms. It's great fun to hunt down again my old favourites - stories that I've saved to my hard drive - so that I can link them to the rec site.

Unfortunately, M'Ress - A Star Trek Novel by Paul S. Gibbs is not available anywhere on the 'Net anymore. I do have a copy, but I can't make it accessible to other people. :(
