Fiction is life with the dull bits left out.*

This was supposed to be on my profile, but it got too big. Also, it took too long, and I was dead to the world by 7 pm. It's now 11:49 pm and Lars has just turned on the techno.

Fandoms I used to swim in, in somewhat-order, and the defining fics for me:

Main fics linked are the ones of such awesome dimensions, intricacies, stayle and maturity that I will never forget them, and they will always be the appex of my fandom-readings. By "briefly" I mean I didn't delve so deeply that I got acquianted with most of the authors and communities.

ETA: *grumblebloodyhtmlgrumble*

BtVS/AtS - Journeys by Mary

- honourable mention Survivors by Whistler84 and The Watchers' Diaries: The Apocrypha by Caro

Comments: My first fandom. *sniffle*

Honorable mention: Hell by jedimom

Planet of the Apes 2000 - which was a very short foray, as there's near nothing

X-Men the movie - Beneath The Harrow by Siubhan

Comments: This was during that rough patch where I found a bunch of really interesting stories but lacked the willpower to read them. Which means I have a ton of fic-links lying about somewhere.

Last chapter is half written already.

What, I don't even get an honourable mention for Heroes? I may never write again :P

*prostrates self at your feet* I did mention I'd been dead to the world with exhaustion, right? Anywho, I've added your fic under its very own mention. :P
