Several people answered this question positively, including
Nancy and Kristen, and that's wonderful to know -- these are
marvelous treats, and like everyone else, I'm looking forward to
them! I get behind on reading fanfic all too easily, but while I'm
slow, I'm always thrilled to see new posts, and I *will* read them.
I'm also very lucky to be looking forward to an FK story a
friend promised to write me as a combined birthday/Christmas gift
this year. I don't know when she'll finish it, but I'll do my best
to pull her home to fkfic-l with great joy. I'm also naggi-- uh,
pester-- um, *reminding* another friend to post her very imaginative
SG:A/FK crossovers to fkfic-l; there's no reason that only those
active in _Stargate: Atlantis_ fandom should get to enjoy them when
they'd be so welcome here.
And for what it's worth, I've got a few stories in progress
myself. "In progress" being key, perhaps. A good friend recently,
very gently, suggested that I make waaaaay too big a deal of
fanfiction creation, agonizing for months over themes, morals,
flashbacks and cop plots for every story, and thus never finishing
any of the incipient novellas sleeping on my hard drive. She dared
me to produce a "ficlet" or drabble; I'm going to give it a
try. It's not that I don't love reading very short FK fiction! But
I never seem to imagine that way for writing; when I'm so lucky as to
imagine a new scenario, it quickly spirals out of control, a universe
of its own, and I have to fight it down into a feasible form I can
actually finish and you might possibly wish to read. Otherwise: just
another half-started story on the hard drive. Does anyone else have
that problem? Is it FK-related, do you think, because the series has
such a strong, multi-layered formula? Just curious.
Good luck and thanks to everyone writing! (And everyone
reading, too!)
