This seems to be my month for crying over Gan-fic (A Mile Away with their Shoes, Limited, and Empty Chairs). All very good, but sad. Something I hadn't really thought about before is that he was probably living on borrowed time even more than the others. The limiter had malfunctioned once, it would have done so again eventually. From that perspective, at least he got a more meaningful death (ie saving the others). I really need to go read something happy now.

Gan and ORAC are literally stuck together. It sounds like a ridiculous premise for a story, but is actually an interesting exploration of both of them. ORAC comes off as quite human..

There was a brilliant fanfic (Can't remember the title or the author, but it was incredibly good), in which nothing after Terminal happened, as Avon was still hooked up to the machine.

The Feds programmed Avon to believe S4 had happened, in some cases using lookalikes for the crew, and then pointed him at Blake (who was back on Liberator) and turned him loose. Avon, now with an understandably tenuous grip on reality, was ready to shoot anything that didn't fit his programming.

But being Avon, things didn't quite work out the way the Feds planned.

We need a fanfic directory.

It's something I've been working on, on and off, for a while, based on a suggestion by writer MG Harris who I met at a convention in 2014. She thought it would be great if Horizon could curate B7 fan fic - not necessarily host it (haven't got the resources!) but to collate recommendations and links to stories on AO3, fanfiction.net etc.

I started a thread HERE for people to post their recommendations, the idea being eventually to build these up into a permanent directory on the website. It's a long-term project, and further suggestions are welcome.

I actually really like the solution developed at Hermit, sometimes you just want to read a feelgood story after one of the more painful episodes. Being able to sort the stories based on characters , period and ending is quite a neat solution.

if we can get them catalogued I can try to put something together in a cms format, but it might be a while.

That's a good system. I don't want to tread on Hermit's toes (so to speak), or to duplicate things they've already done, but it would be useful to have something similar on here.


I don't know what cms is!
I was thinking more along the lines of a list with clickable links of various categories. But any help would be gratefully received.

a content management system- where all entries are organised by category and tags, a bit like wordpress but less complicated.
Like, you could choose the season, and type, and main characters and whether or not it is adult and whether or not it has a happy ending, or the major themes, maybe you want all auron stories that have a happy ending and have Blake in them and are pre TWB

Thanks for the explanation, SM. That sort of set-up is probably well beyond the scope of this website, but I'll try to find out if it could be a separate standalone add-on.
Anyway, between us I think we've well and truly derailed this rewatch thread, so instead of continuing this discussion here, I'm going to move it to the fanfic recommendations thread.
