Lurker's Corner

1. Find your desired tag, for example:
James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

2. Search results default to newest to oldest, which be a nice grab bag, but (nosewrinkle) if this is new. From the sort and filter panel on the right, check "complete only" near the bottom and sort by "kudos" from the drop down menu near the top.

3. Click sort and filter for the Yelp of that pairing.

Which reminds me!

When did "free rein" become "free reign?" The latent Texan in me is mightily offended.

I follow some "Imagine..." prompt blogs on tumblr and recently, someone proposed an AU where either Steve Rogers or Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes discover that his/their boyfriend Tony Stark is in the in the early stages of Alzheimer's.

I'm not just in the nopeNopeNOPE camp, I'm horrified that someone even thought that was promptable, which engenders a small amount of guilt, quickly squashed because Alzheimer's. So, every time I saw a reply to that post, I scooted right past it because nopeNopeNOPE.

Then I saw a post where two people the prompter had been tagging asked not to be tagged and prompter became huffy because s/he wasn't forcing anyone to participate. S/he went to the extent of making a separate post wondering when Marvel fandom got so touchy? S/he wasn't ever going to prompt anyone for anything again.

My response in general:
1. This individual doesn't know enough about Alzheimer's to know better than to prompt it.
2. This individual does know enough about Alzheimer's to know better and prompted it anyway because s/he is a horrible human being.

My response in particular:
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO TONY?

So, one my wonder why I think that with all the various disease, disability and deathfic going on out there, why is Alzheimer's extra special horrifying?

( Let me tell you more than you might want to know )

I know there are bittersweet and downright dark fic prompts out there. The enthusiasm that met this one, though, set me back on my heels.

Yes, I will judge this prompt very harshly.

I'm pondering doing National Novel Writing Month for, like, the fifth year in a row and have decided that fanfiction is the answer. Crossover! Yes! Possibly slash, but I'd be happy just to finish a story.

I know Highlander has been crossed over with Stargate Atlantis plenty of times, but has it ever turned out that Immortals are Furlings?
