I am not a sportsfan. I don't care who wins the World Series or the Super Bowl. I find sports today often lacks good sportsmanship but every once in awhile I come across something that just warms my heart and demonstrates what sports should and can be. Read here.

Found an intriguing S/X+Dawn fic by wesleysgirl called Deciphering Fire. It's up to part 7 with a possible dozen or so chapters.

Post-Series BtVS/AtS Seasons

In my days of trawling the Internet I have come across 4 sites where the creators are attempting to continue our shows by writing their own "seasons". They are:

AtS: No Limits with a full 6th season of AtS
Heroes where BtVS combines with AtS in a truncated season of 12 eps with one to go
Spike: Soul Survivor of NFA who, with Xander, guides a Slayer in her quest.
Three Deep has only 3 eps so far.

There are others out there but most of them are in script form where I prefer prose. Let me know if you've come across any others.

RIP

I just found out that Octavia Butler died on Friday. She was only 58 and one of the few African-American SF writers. It appears that Fledgling will be her last book unless she has some others yet unpublished. For more go here.
