{latest updates to Merlin}
Angel | Beauty & the Beast | Buffy, the Vampire Slayer | Dark Angel | Hercules | Merlin | Tron
Angel was one of the few rare series I watched from the beginning, mostly because I started watching Buffy regularly during its third season, so I saw the ads for Angel and was intrigued, although Angel himself was only mildly interesting to me. The five seasons it was on had highs and lows and sometimes felt uneven to me, but all-in-all it was a series I enjoyed. One of the characters I liked the most was Doyle, the half-demon who helped Angel find his way at the beginning of this show for nine episodes. Maybe it's because I have a thing for accents or because Doyle was so likeable but had hidden angst, but I really enjoyed him and the potential and never-fulfilled relationship between him and Cordelia. I still miss Doyle and eagerly devour "return" fics, especially like those that deal with the could-have-been romantic relationship between Cordelia and Doyle. A very good collection of "bring back Doyle" fic is found at the How Can We Bring Back Doyle {current URL is bad; looking for new location} website.
In season five, the year after Buffy ended, Spike joined the crew in LA. For the past two season on Buffy, Spike had rapidly become my favorite character and I was thrilled to see him on Angel, although I did miss the almost-real relationship he was beginning to have with Buffy by the end of that series. Because of my shipper leanings, most Spike-fanfic will be found in the Buffy section, but it's possible some could slip in here in the future.
Favorite episodes (by season): (1) Rm w/a Vu, Hero, To Shanshu in LA; (2) Darla; (5) Hellbound, Destiny, Damage, You're Welcome, The Girl in Question, Not Fade Away.
Again a Hero by MK -- A Doyle return fic; crossover with Charmed. Very nicely written; you don't have to know much about Charmed to understand it either. Found at The Definite Article website.
Almost a Very Good Life by Andrea Newberry -- A post-Hero fic and "return" fic. Very well-written. (See also the sequel, Feels Like Home.) Found at The Buffer.
Close to Home... So Far Away by Gabrielle Lawson -- One of my very favorite "return" fics. Good and long. Extremely well-written crossover that brings together all the characters from Angel and Buffy. As a side note, it paints both Angel and Riley in a sympathetic light, something that's hard to find in most Buffy/Angel fic. Found at This Side of the Nether website.
"Doyle as an Oracle" series by Jenny Kane -- A great series of stories being posted on the CordeliaDoyle list. She also has another "bringing back Doyle" series involving Buffy and the Sunnydale gang that's fairly good as well, but since I'm more of a Cordelia/Doyle fan.... Both series are found at More Than Meets the Eye. {site gone and fic no longer available}
Emergence by Jenny Kane -- Another very excellent "return" fic that also brings together the casts of both Buffy and Angel (yes, you do sense a pattern) and again puts both Angel and Riley in a good light. And also good and long. For buddy-buddy fans, this is a good fic to pick since it picks up on the friendship between Angel and Doyle a great deal and expands on it. Lots of h/c and angst. Found at More Than Meets the Eye. {site gone and fic no longer available}
Epilogue by Ellen -- An epilogue to Angel's first season finale, To Shanshu in LA. If only... Found at Clear Visions website.
Feels Like Home by Chris Luland and Andrea Newberry -- Sequel to Andrea's Almost a Very Good Life. Currently in progress and being posted on the CordeliaDoyle list.
The Long Howl by Matt -- Post-The Gift (Buffy season 5 ender). Angel's reaction to Buffy's death affects their friends in a surprising way. Angsty little fic. Found at The Gift Archive at The Buffer.
Naming Day by Cynamin -- Immediately following Lullaby, the gang deals with the newest and youngest resident of the Hyperion. Found at the Angel fanfiction.net section.
None Goes His Way Alone by Melpomene1 -- What happens when, at her most vulnerable, Cordelia is left alone? It's an intriguing and very well-written take on a very horrible thing that happens to Cordy. Deftly handled. Found at the Angel fanfiction.net section.
Scars by Avalon3 -- Fred visits Wesley after he is wounded during a fight. Found at the Angel fanfiction.net section.
Waiting for the Miracle by starlet -- My first non-Doyle-included recommendation. It's an epilogue to the third season episode, 'Lullaby'. Found on her site.
Beauty & the Beast
(last updated 2/8/08)I consider this to be my first *real* fandom. It's the first series I bought fanzines for ... and an astounding number of them to boot. :-) Most of the really good fanfic is still only in zine form, though some of the older stories are finally making their way onto the internet. This was also the first time I experienced the denial that goes with decisions made on the series that I didn't like -- in this case, Catherine's death obviously. I liked Diana well enough, but nothing could ever (and never has IMO!) match the romantic relationship between Vincent and Catherine. Therefore, I tend to read only Classic stories or SND (she's not dead) stories. I'm still waiting for Ron Koslow to write ... *something* ... to bring Catherine back to Vincent. :-)
Favorite episodes (by season): (1) Masques, Shades of Grey, To Reign in Hell, A Happy Life; (2) Remember Love, Dead of Winter, Orphans, When the Bluebird Sings, A Distant Shore.
Bedside Manner by Jo Ann Baca -- Catherine has the flu, and Vincent takes it upon himself to care for her. Found at The Beauty and the Beast Reading Chamber.
The Course of True Love by Annette Wells White -- An SND story that is still in progress (seems that it will sadly go unfinished). Two years after Catherine Chandler's reported death, Vincent begins to sense her presence, while still struggling with his loss; raising his son, Jacob; assisting Father in managing the Tunnel Community; and caring/protecting all who live down Below. Add to this mix a killer bent on revenge; a cover-up at a convalescent facility; a mad dash across the State of New York to Central Park; and a simmering inferno between Diana and Vincent threatening to erupt at any moment. Rated R. Found at The Beauty and the Beast Reading Chamber.
Dancing in the Shadows by Ayiana -- A third-season SND novel. Fairly good first handful of chapters, though I'm not really a big fan of straight episode rewrites. But the original stuff and how she weaves in third season events are well done enough for me to want to continue to read. Found under 'Tunnel Tales' at CABB.
Fawn by Nancy Lynn Knauff -- A mystery of a young child becomes a larger danger when Catherine and Vincent become involved. Very nicely written. The author makes reference within this story to what I assume is her out-of-print fanzine tale, "Love Shall Not," which I'm hoping I can someday get my hands on since it sounds like an intriguing alternate to TLBL... Found under 'Tunnel Tales' at CABB.
Night of Miracles by Rosemarie Hauer -- Beautiful. Found under 'Tunnel Tales' at CABB.
No Greater Love by Becky Bain -- Paracelsus makes another attempt to destroy the tunnel world. He starts by kidnapping Vincent. One of my very favorite fics to reread. Found at The Beauty and the Beast Reading Chamber.
O Never Star and Eternity II: I Shall Emerge by Becky Bain -- The first tale is a classic story that starts with Catherine firmly in Gabriel's clutches with the second being the novel-length sequel. Great dramatic stories. Well worth the time to read. Found at The Beauty and the Beast Reading Chamber.
Untitled Series by PEAhopeless -- Lovely set of stories. Found under 'Tunnel Tales' at CABB.
Winter Kiss by Nancy Lynn Knauff -- Their second Winterfest finds Catherine and Vincent content, except for one thing. Short, sweet romantic piece. Found under 'Tunnel Tales' at CABB or at The Beauty and the Beast Reading Chamber.

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer
(last updated 11/6/05)For Buffy fanfic, I stick with shipper fic by and large. And oddly enough, I tended to read whatever "ship" was in vogue on the series at the time. So I've read Buffy/Angel, Buffy/Riley, and at the end (which became the only 'ship I read), Buffy/Spike. I didn't start really beginning to like Spike as anything other than an intriguing bad guy until late fifth season when Spike really started to change. During that season and the following, I accepted the B/S relationship but really didn't enjoy it much since season six revolved around lust and not love (at least not on both parts). Later on, during the seventh and final season, I surprisingly found myself really becoming a Buffy/Spike (when he had a soul) shipper! Probably because of the angst involved between the two. And Spike became *so* much more intriguing to watch in the final few seasons. An ensouled Spike is much more layered than the broody ensouled Angel. (Sorry, not much of a B/A fan anymore.) I've read a *lot* of really excellent Buffy/Spike fic; by and large, they're post-Chosen fic, though I'm starting to delve into a few of AU version of seasons/episodes and a few total AU's.
Favorite episodes (by season): (2) Becoming two-parter; (3) Beauty and the Beasts, Amends, The Prom, Graduation Day two-parter; (4) Pangs, Hush, Primeval, Restless; (5) Fool for Love, The Gift; (6) Once More With Feeling, As You Were; (7) Beneath You, Showtime, Touched, End of Days, Chosen.

- A really good consistent Buffy fanfic writer -- HonorH. Great character pieces. Her fic is at fanfiction.net and at her website. Try Making the Call (post-The Body), Elegy for a Fallen Heroine (Post-The Gift; really excellent), Older but Not So Far Away, and Miss Perfect (As You Were fic; also very excellent).

Following Andrew's visit to L.A. in the AtS episode Damage, Angel is heartbroken to realize that Buffy & the rest of the Scoobs no longer trust him since he has taken control of Wolfram & Hart.

- Don't Stop the Dance by Xionin -- Season 7; begins after Get it Done and ends AU at the end of the show. Great, lovely, long story with changes on several issues (aside of the obvious one) that I really liked. Rated NC-17 for a few sex scenes. Found at author's ffn.net page. (See also unfinished sequel, How Many Days?)
- Et Lux In Tenebris Lucet (And the Light Shineth in the Darkness) by enigmaticblue -- Spike saves Dawn, but pays a high price; AU version of season six. Very good long tale. I'd love to see her version of season seven that would follow on to this -- of course such a season would have to be very different considering that Buffy didn't die. Found at the author's site, The Writings of Enigmatic Blue or at Fonts of Wisdom: The Crypt.
- Expedite by Annie Sewell-Jennings -- Post-Same Time, Same Place. "Sometimes, when the office is quiet and no one is talking, Buffy can hear him through the ventilation system." Wow. Just...wow. Found at All About Spike.
- Gentle by OneTwoMany (Sabre) -- Missing scenes for Chosen. Rated NC-17 for sex scene. Found at All About Spike.
- The Great Advantage of Being Alive by enigmaticblue -- AU Season Four. What if the Initiative had found a way to transform Spike into a human rather than giving him a chip?

- Kiss the Joy by Sadbhyl -- Post-Chosen; partway into AtS fifth season. Short and very sweet little Valentine's Day piece. If only... Found at Nocturnal Light.
- Origins by Niamh -- Post-The Gift, veers from canon, but uses elements that were seemingly left discarded by the writers. An alternate season six beginning. Perfectly lovely. Found at Spuffy Realm. See also the sequels Origins: Bridge, Origins: Revelations., and Origins: Resolutions. Great series.

- Reunion by Cindy -- Post-Chosen; partway into AtS fifth season. The things Angel does for love. Short, sweet, and something I'd love to see. I know it won't because the Angel on the series isn't this...well, non-possessive; he's never really learned how to let go of Buffy. Found at All About Spike.
- Reunions by anon462 -- Unfinished. This story takes place eight years after Chosen and seven years after Not Fade Away. Spike survived the final battle with the minons of the Senior Partners. Thinking he was the only survivor he has continued the 'good fight' against evil in L.A., but then one day the past catches up to him. Very intriguing and very good. Lots of depth. Good use and development of established characters plus a few new ones. Found at The Crypt.
- Silencio by Fojiao (Kevin Poston) -- Season Six. Spike can't speak because of a bet with Buffy, but it just allows her to hear his heart even clearer. Unrepentantly sappy and mushy! Found at author's ffn.net page.

- As You Weren't by Alexandra Huxley -- Buffy/Riley. An epilogue for the 6th season episode, As You Were (in which Riley returns for an episode).

Dark Angel
(last updated 3/15/09)I've a *very* latecomer to this fandom. I'd been eyeing the two season dvd sets for several months after I became a fan of NCIS. I wanted to see more of Michael Weatherly. I knew this series aired a while back, but it was on Friday nights and I think it might have been up against the Stargate/Farscape two-hour block, so I didn't watch it and then it got abruptly cancelled so Firefly could air...and we all know how that ended. FOX and their kooky programming decisions. After devouring season one (yes, the better season), I know I really should've been watching -- the whole angsty love story thing between Max and Logan is right up my alley. Add it action, a little intrigue, interesting characters, and you have a watchable (if sometimes a little fluffy) series. So now I'm wandering through fanfic, looking for the good stories.
Sites: Dark Angel Fan Fiction Archive
Another Haven by Rajana -- What if Max and Logan had gone to the Cascades and what if the weather hadn't been what they expected? Alternate shippy version of season one's Haven. I must admit to liking Logan-still-in-his-chair fics and seeing how he and Max deal every day things. This was a good take on that. Found at the Dark Angel fanfiction.net section.
At Least This by Toblerone -- AU M/L romantic fluff set during first season. This was absolutely gorgeous. Found at the Dark Angel fanfiction.net section.
Concurrent Jurisdiction by shywr1ter -- Crossover with NCIS set 2020 during season one of Dark Angel. Two homicides, both victims former SEALs, reunite cousins a continent apart. I adored this. Irrepressible Tony and shy/serious Logan... Very well-written. Found at the Dark Angel fanfiction.net section.
Minimum Contacts by shywr1ter -- Unifinished; crossover with NCIS; sequel to Concurrent Jurisdiction. Logan & Max had been making plans to get to Tony's wedding, but now that Max knows what Logan had been hiding from her, things don't look so good for them. Found at the Dark Angel fanfiction.net section.
Twilight by Anna McLain -- Food riots force Max and Logan to spend a night in the forest outside Seattle. Found at DAFF.
One of those guilty pleasures I watch are Hercules and Xena. Which show I like more just depends on what storyline they're doing. They've both had their ups and downs, though Xena got a little too...out there for me for awhile; I'll be interested to see what Xena fanfic writers do now in the wake of the finale. Hercules was one of the few shows I could actually *see* the "buddy-buddy" element in quite readily. I adored the relationship between Herc and Iolaus. And Michael Hurst is just a joy to watch regardless what character he's playing. For this fandom, I tend to read the h/c pieces more than anything else.
Site: Iolausian Library
Only Sorrows, Only Truths by Moon and Cobber -- A long h/c -- physical and emotional -- story that puts Hercules and Iolaus to the test after a traumatic occurance. Adult themes. Found at Iolausian Library.
Epilogue for Only Sorrows, Only Truths by Dream Catcher and Moon -- A long, wonderfully and sensitively written epilogue to the original story with healing for both Iolaus and Hercules. Adult themes. Found at Iolausian Library.
With series four now airing, this is pretty much my favorite show/fandom at the moment. Though I still enjoy Arthur & Merlin friendship fics (which are hard to find), I've become much more drawn to the developing Arthur/Guinevere romance. It's been so long that I've found a fandom I've enjoyed which includes a romantic couple I like. And A/G is definitely something I like.

Since I'd seen the original Tron several times, I had been
looking forward to the highly touted sequel ever since it was
announced a couple years. I missed it in theaters (mostly
since my way-too-nearsighted eyes can't handle 3D that long),
but I recently was able to see it on blu-ray and for the most
part, I was very happy with it. Of course, because I'm a
Bruce-fan, I would 've liked more Bruce-as-Tron and more
resolution for what happened to Rinzler after the battle, but
perhaps a sequel will delve into that more. In the meantime,
there is fic. At least a little fic. Most fic
focuses on other characters, but there are some
Tron-character-focused onces I've already found and have
enjoyed. Spoilers for Tron:
Legacy in all fic.
