SN Links

[out_there]

So, since I showed slashybits, mcicioni and vissy SN, I think I'm under a moral obligation to pimp the fandom to them.

Fannish Info

First of all, I'd check out scrunchy's Dan/Casey essay on ship_manifesto, It's Not Against the Law to Be Vaguely Gay. It's a lovely description of both guys and of slashy moments through the show (and is far more eloquent and logical than my wild, flailing attempts to answer questions).

I also have a rough Casey timeline if that helps. (I like knowing details.)

And there's a SN intro at crack_van here that summarises the show and the characters.

The Fiction

When it comes to SN, I tend to get my fix via inthetallgrass which is a fiction community that features stories from West Wing and Sports Night (both shows were written/created by Aaron Sorkin, which is why they're listed together).

The fandom used to have a main archive, but it's hosted by Trickster, and doesn't seem to be working these days. (It always seems to have troubles.) Hence, I tend to get my fix through recs and author sites.

Polyamorous Recs is a good rec page that has a lot of fandoms and it was my guide to SN when I first got into the show. (That's a link to their SN page of stories.)

... and typing this entry up would have been a lot quicker if I didn't stop to read To Casey On His Thirty-Fifth Birthday (which still makes me sniffle) and A Sandwich is a Transitory Thing (which is funny and delightful) ...

Anyway, recs. The other recs I'd point out would be thefourthvine who does some interesting multi-fandom recs (but the tag function doesn't seem to be working, so I can't give you a direct link to her SN recs) and makesmewannadie who recommends quite a few SN stories too (this should be the appropriate link).

There's also crack_van for SN recs, made by a wide variety of fans, which, huh, proves that there are at least 102 SN fics worth reading. But I'd start with Polyamorous Recs as a better way to get a feel for the series.

Also, I know that in_the_bottle was joking about how much I'd personally written, so I'm including a link to my stuff. A lot of it is short, pointless stories, but there's quite a few I'm proud of, too.

ETA: It just occured to me that we didn't watch the episode where Dan and Casey have to start the show in their shirts, jackets and boxers. I totally should have showed that.

Huh, oh, I didn't know that. Interesting.

I just knew that it didn't work, and then it did (and there was much rejoicing) and then it didn't again.
