[livejournal.com profile] anaross has recently finished Ransomed her post-Chosen fic. She is a truly gifted writer though not of the Spander-persuasion. I've also read her wonderful Long Day's Journey, another post-Chosen fic, and Colors, her Serenity/Firefly crossover which I may have mentioned before. If you read more than just Spander and are looking for good fics check her out.

Just finished reading a delightful BtVS/AtS fic called Play It Again, Sam by [livejournal.com profile] elisi. It takes place in AtS S5 between "TGiQ" and "Power Play" when Riley and Sam Finn turn up in LA and there is reminiscing all round. I especially like Spike's take on his adventures/affair with Buffy.

Unless I blinked at the wrong moment JM wasn't on last night's ep of "Smallville". I'm in withdrawal again *grumbles*.

This morning some news show had a segment on Seinfeld's Festivus at http://www.festivusbook.com. Just what we need--another mid-winter holiday. Let's startup the Saturnalia again while we're at it *more grumbles*.

On a brighter note [livejournal.com profile] kaygrr has written "Neon Hunting" another Xander/cop crossover this time with CSI's Warrick. Her previous fic was "City Hunting" (http://www.livejournal.com/users/kaygrr/109714.html), a L&O:SVU crossover with Stabler written over a year ago. I like this mature, competent Xander.
I do occasionally read non-Spander fics and crossovers. One that sticks in my memory is Eric Jablow's "Chaos & Disorder" at http://members.cox.net/ejablow/mmos/chaos.html which crossed the BtVSverse with L&O--what happened when those folks encountered vampires and put one on trial. There's also Sajinn's marvelous "Soft Science" at http://sajinn.com/misc/SOFTSCI.html where the investigators from Las Vegas head for Sunnydale then the Scoobies go to Las Vegas and Salustra's "A Study in White" at http://www.salustra.vague-disclaimer.org/solo_fic/studyinwhite.html which has Spike in Las Vegas with Grissom. Good reads all.

I was reading [livejournal.com profile] nandibble's latest chapter of "Blood Price" when I came across this quote "the still center of the turning world" (Donne, Wordsworth, Elliot??). I just thought the imagery it invoked was so lovely. I collect quotes that are meaningful to me but I've been doing it for years and it's rare to find something new these days. I'm getting jaded *sigh*
