Second, any fic must be in before January 1.
Third, even if you haven't submitted a team to tackle this...

Eyrie Down?

feeds@yuku.com (HoagieOfDoom) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:36:49 GMT

Anyone know what's up with the Eyrie Productions website? I can't reach it and Is It Down Or Is It Just Me confirms that it's for everyone.

Looking for Ed Becerra's Fics

feeds@yuku.com (Shinkaze) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 07:27:03 GMT

Like the title says I'm looking for Ed's stories, so far I've only found his fanfiction.net account (though I also have a link to an archived version of his old site somewhere in my bookmarks), does anybody know where he's hosting his stuff nowadays?

Fun Things to Say

feeds@yuku.com (blackaeronaut) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:21:08 GMT

Recently, work's been utterly insane. I won't bother you with details, suffice to say that I've made no progress on my projects. Blargh...

However, I did run accross a list of awesome one-liners that I fully intend to have Zeke use over the course of DSKS. Let the snarkage commence! ;)

When life gives you lemons, make grape juice, and sit back and smirk as everyone wonders just how the heck you managed it

Mark Latus "Hurricane Season"

feeds@yuku.com (Jeanne Hedge) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:18:26 GMT

Back in the mid-90s, Mark Latus started a trilogy of BGC fics. Like most trilogies, the first story set things up, the second story is where things fall apart and come crashing down, and the third story is the conclusion.

The first story, Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo Babylon, made its appearance in the summer of 1995. The second story, Bubblegum Crash: Knights End, was literally a Christmas present, although a rather dark one, that same year. In the Fall of 1996,...

Mahoranma discussion thread

feeds@yuku.com (Necratoid) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 01:40:34 GMT

-Jinx999:
Ranma is genuinely and seriously mentally ill, even by anime character standards. We're far beyond quirky, to the point where (s)he's a genuine danger to herself and others.
-Shay Guy:
And I'm starting to doubt whether even getting the curse unlocked would help at this point.
-yesilmavi:
getting the curse unlocked could be even worse for his mental instability. Depending on whether or not his Dad accepts it. Total cure sounds like...

#1 - The invisible (mostly) Freind(?)

Around Harry's first accidental magic, the energy flare attracts a type of semidark semisweet creature that wizarding parents know to watch out for and chase off. Harry, of course, is on his own, and the #4 wards don't react because the critters act to protect their mark once chosen, and don't technically do any harm, just syphon off radiated magic, at least in the initial...

New BGC story up on FFN

feeds@yuku.com (yumekochan) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:09:38 GMT

Yes, it's another Yumeko one, what did you expect from me? ;) It is NOT from her POV though. Why don't you take a look, eh?

HOLY CRAP!!!! HEARTS OF ICE IS DONE!!!!

feeds@yuku.com (Logan Darklighter) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:34:50 GMT

I wasn't even looking for it. I had long ago given up on Hearts of Ice, figuring that it would remain the ultimate example of a dead and abandoned fic. I'd taken Krista Perry's site out of my personal bookmarks and stopped checking on it about... mmm 7-8 years ago.

I was perusing TV Tropes and was following up something that lead me to the Dead Fics page - where there was an update that Hearts of Ice was done. Completed.

*THUD*

That was the sound of...

Just a little joke

Ed's new coaching project

feeds@yuku.com (Rod H) — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00:06 GMT

Hmm, Ed's keeping his writing irons warm while performing Evil Old Dude duties at Spacebattles for a RR they got boiling over there.

So far there's more of this: http://aewab.wikia.com/wiki/Skippy%27s_AEWAB_List then there is story . See if you can pick entries done by him.

Fanfiction.net down?

I haven't been able to reach anything I've tried -- does anyone know what's up with ff.net tonight?

The Song of the Dragon Masters

feeds@yuku.com (DHBirr) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 19:56:49 GMT

In a weird way, I guess this counts as fan fiction: Michael Moorcock put four lines of song into one of the Elric of Melnibone stories, and I expanded on that, doing my poor best to capture the Melnibonean spirit. (I wrote this something like twenty or twenty-five years ago.)

Moon Fic?

feeds@yuku.com (Jeanne Hedge) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:56:30 GMT

Would someone please recommend site(s) for good Sailor Moon fic, or even just some good stories? I haven't been able to find a really good site since Andrea Hui's Moon Romance site closed/moved/went away seemingly eons ago.

be kind...

maybe I've just been looking in the wrong places...

maybe this is the wrong crowd to ask about sailor moon...

Ping blackaeronaut - Triangle Heart

CXD70 - More sharks! Bigger! With FRIKKIN LASER BEAMS! Or not?

feeds@yuku.com (ClassicDrogn) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:06:25 GMT

So, Chuunin Exam Day continuws, with a new 'spite the flamers, nyah nyah' twist to 'unintentionally' bring Orochimaru into the loops. While this is bad in sevaral obviuos ways, my own reaction is that it may well be a blessing in a deep nasty disguise for Clan Kitsune - at the least they won't be bored anymore, and they have both thousands of years' head start on him in methods of exploiting it and dozens of different brains to analyse how he reacts. The 'try over...
