Interesting

At brunch yesterday, someone suggested I read up on "The Ray Wars" in Due South fandom at the Fanlore wiki. While I was there, I began to rummage through articles on other fandoms or fanfiction sites, especially ones that I've been involved in. There was less about the UCSL in the Buffy fandom than I'd expected, but I got about what I thought I would regarding Smallville.

It was Stargate SG-1 which surprised me. Several of my stories -- all but one of them gen -- have been linked directly in the articles about the 'zines in which they originally appeared. My Chaplain series is one of the stories listed under "Christianity and Fandom." By no means are mine the only stories linked, but it never occurred to me that "Time Was" (one of my weirder stories), "Teal'c's Thanksgiving," and "Campfire Stories" would be, for lack of a better term, important enough to be linked. It's not like every story mentioned in the 'zine lists has a link, either.

Not all of my stories in the fandom have been linked (even the gen ones) by any means, but this is the only one of my fandoms where I have a direct association -- and I know I didn't do it.

Answer for question 4230.

[Error: unknown template qotd]There is no all time favorite.

There are a few cities I had a hard time living in, but most had something that I loved.

In Mannheim, it was the Saturday farmer's market (seriously, the cauliflower looked like it had been painted by Vermeer) and the fascinating grid system. The Duke (I think it was Duke, could have been Prince) who founded the city was fascinated by chess and the main street between his old palace, now the university, and the bridge was the dividing line. From the palace, the letters A-K formed rows on the right, and the letters L-T formed rows to the left. The numbers 1-7 formed the columns, so that my address was J7 with a unit number attached. I loved that system.

I currently live in DC which, along with Brussels, Belgium, is the city I think of as home. Both cities are beautiful. Both get slammed as the home of bureaucrats, but both have dynamic free or inexpensive cultural lives.
