I just
had to share.

Twisting the Hellmouth
BtVS and A:TS This is an archive of crossover stories -- Buffy and Angel versus meet the rest of the fandom universe. They accept fanart and stories, het, gen and slash, but no RPS. This link was an anonymous contribution from someone who apparently knows of and/or shares my not-so-secret love of really bad summaries. "Her heart still heavy from the loss of heaven, Buffy suddenly finds herself in Fangorn Forest. Will Middle Earth become her new home? Will she find comfort in the arms of an elf?" Would I make up something like that? Not when I don't have to.

New Links

Here they are, the new links -- gathered in one neat, cozy little section, for your surfing pleasure and my updating convenience.
Well, they may not be new to you, but they're new to this site, anyway.

Bent-Back Tulips
Movie-AtU. A slash community for Across the Universe. All slash pairings are welcome. They accept fanfic and fanart, and the mods will tag it for you. I especially like that part. The mods won't be tempted to stretch the tags hoping for more feedback.

Fanfiction for the Movie Across the Universe
Movie-AtU. All pairings and ratings welcome. The name of this community is either the one above, or "Lend Me Your Ears and I'll Sing You a Song." I'm not sure it matters since they both suck. Someday I'd like to get everybody in LJ in one room and explain the difference between a name, a username, a title and a theme.

Torchwood Slash
Torchwood. A very large, very active Torchwood community. Stop by here and try your hand at fic, art, discussion, icons, and almost anything else Torchwood. Even a bit of het, as long as it's not the main focus. Get that slash in there, too, or keep your hands off. Or hand, as the case may be.

Jack in Cuffs
Torchwood. Land in this LJ com for darker, more explicit Torchwood fanfic. Yummy. They allow fic of any rating. They don't demand smut, but it does seem to be the preferred flavor. Again, yummy.

doctorslashjack
Dr. Who/Torchwood. A het-free fic and discussion community. The Doctor and Jack do make a lovely couple, don't they? Let's get a show of hands on that.

The Torchwood Files: Videos from the Institute
Vids. Torchwood vids. Every once in a while I feel the need to repeat myself, so here goes: I just list 'em, people. Any community is going to take you on a ride through GoodBadandUgly land. Don't blame me for the billboards blocking the scenery, or the lack of rest stops.

The Impala: A Supernatural Vidding Archive
Vids. This is a very nice site, and it's a great bookmark if you're a Supernatural fan. Don't doubt that. However, and I know this doesn't matter to anyone but me, it's not an archive, it's a list of links. It's not an archive unless the vids/stories/whatever are hosted on the site. Luckily for all of us, but especially you, I sobered up and deleted the 5MB rant on Aristotle and the importance of the definition of terms. It still irritates the spit out of me though, so I'm sure we'll have this little discussion again another day, about another site.

SPN First Time
Supernatural. An LJ com for lovers of Supernatural, and my fellow First Time enthusiasts. Stop by for the eye candy, the romance, the drama, the unmatched erotic tension of a first time between two gorgeous men. Stay for the eye candy, the romance, the drama, the unmatched erotic tension of a first time between two gorgeous men.

Supernatural Slash Talk
Supernatural. Supernatural discussion community, with fanfic, art, icons, etc. Keep the discussion slashy people. That's kind of the point here.

Lost Vids
Vids. Exactly what it says. Het, gen, slash, pretty much anything and everything goes. Meanwhile, back on the island...

Delusions
Babylon 5. Whine long enough and someone will answer. Flutterbye and an anonymous donor sent me an honest to god Babylon 5 slash archive. It's strictly for Marcus/Neroon slash, and it's alive! As in recently updated. You have no idea what this means to me. I had just about given up on this fandom.

For England
James Bond. James Bond slash, mainly Goldeneye. Lolana contributed this link, ages and ages ago, but we all know how behind I've been. This community is for stories slashing James Bond and/or Alec Trevelyan. FPS and RPS accepted. All RPS must include either Pierce Brosnan or Sean Bean. Personally, I think it should all have to feature Beanie. Preferably moist and sans shirt.

Drinking 'n Fighting
Mag7. The archive, official even, of the Drinking 'n Fighting mailing list. This one's for devotees of the Chris Larabee and Buck Wilmington pairing. Some Gen, mostly slash. They've got good authors and one of those "here's what's happening with the archive" front pages. They've also got some quaint, more than likely temporary, formatting problems on the main page. That, or the incredible disappearing pixel is the Next Big Thing. Elanor sent me this one, just before I disappeared into RL hell. Thanks, Elanor.

Tar 'n Feathers
Mag7. More Mag7, contributed by Elanor. This one is Vin Tanner and Ezra Standish slash. Elanor says this one's dead, and since she did the skin, I guess she'd know. Enjoy it until it rots and the dessicated corpse turns to dust and blows away on the prairie winds, tumble weeds tumbling into the sunset, bouncing off the odd cactus on the way... Let's just pretend I covered all the tacky cliches and we can move along.

Force Haven
Star Wars. This archive is primarily Obi-Wan and Anakin fan fic. It's simple and easy to navigate. The extras aren't worth much of your time, but if you're exceptionally bored and want a very small giggle, click on Workshop and check out the Fanfiction Writer's Checklist for "Use of Earthisms" and "Does your story have an end?"

Down with the Sickness
BtVS. A small, lonely little archive of Warren/Andrew fics. It hasn't been updated since 2005, but considering that, it's in pretty good shape. Most of the more interesting sites on the links page are either dead or lead to other sites that also haven't been updated in years. It's kind of interesting -- a small side road of fandom, frozen in time. Sad, too.

Pop Fic Rec Requests
Popslash. An LJ community for requesting pop fic recs. Just ask, and they'll give you links to het, gen or slash pop-fics out of their super secret stash. But you have to do it right. This community is for finding genres of stories -- looking for something with cowboys or whipped cream? Or cowboys and whipped cream? This is the place to ask. If you're looking for that particular story about Justin, the cowboy, the whipped cream thong and the roller skates, and you're pretty sure there might have been something about a cactus and two gross of Band-Aids, try over at Pop Star Story Finders

Link Sites

Try one.
Try two.
Oh, go ahead,
try another one. You can never
have too many
slash links.

crack_van
A multi-fandom rec community on lj: all ratings, all pairings, gen, het and slash. Are you being seduced into a new fandom, and just hate that clueless-newbie feeling? Or are you pimping a new fandom to a friend and hate tracking down links? Check out crack_van, it's purposely, and perfectly, designed for pimpimg, self or otherwise. They have fandom explanations, character sketches, definitions of key fandom terms, and best of all, one of the largest story-link collections I've seen on lj. Recs are listed by fandom.

The Newbie's Guide to Fannish LiveJournal
Link site. This is the kind of site I dream of finding on those long, lonely, two in the morning where-the-hell-did-all-the-good-sites-go searches. Put this one on your flist. If you're not a member of lj, put it in your bookmarks next to crack_van and visit often. Yeah, it's that good. Maybe even better. It's an lj community that exists to list fandom lj communities. They're goal is to be a "bouncing off point" by collecting links that will interest fans, and listing them in an overview for each fandom. They're superbly organized, and most of the overviews of each fandom are dated. You can tell at a glance if the fandom overview you're looking at was updated last week, or last month, or last year.

Lotrips in a Box
A link site for Lotrips fandom. Listings include lj communities, archives, miscellaneous sites and author sites. I'm not sure how useful it'll be -- it hasn't been updated in almost a year. I'm including it for the list of author sites, since I don't list many of those.

The Fannish Directory
Currently this site has links in the following categories, some contain fanfic sites, some don't: Actors/Actresses, Anime, Books, Buffy/Angel, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings actors, misc. movies, misc. TV shows, miscellaneous, Multifandom, Musicians, Pop, Queer As Folk, Smallville, Star Trek, Star Wars and X-Men. You can submit a link, but this is not an automatic link site -- all submissions are approved and added by the site owner. That's a big plus, since it cuts down on the people who figure they'll get more hits if they list their site in ten categories, whether they fit or not.

The Directorium
This fannish wiki site was sent to me by Ashlyn. It's one of those ambitious, let's list every site in fandom projects, but it's better than most. You can browse the listings by fandom, category, genre, actor, network, artist, medium or the decade the show aired. There's also a link to find other fans in your area, a user forum and an update RSS feed at lj. Like any add-your-site listing, it's only going to work if fandom participates, and if fandom reads the entire FAQ before adding listings.

Vox Populli
This is the index for all the author sites, domains, mailing lists and forums at populli.org, populli.net, and DitB.org. Can I make a suggestion? If you haven't already, bookmark this one. It's a major gateway for any serious slasher.

The Basement {Collective}
Dozens upon dozens of links to slash sites. Don't get too excited -- it's three pages of those bitching little button links, which, if you're very, very lucky, and if the designer isn't overwhelmed with her own cuteness, are almost legible enough for you to tell what the hell you're clicking on.

Whispered Words
A slash recommendations database. Search by fandom, or browse all the recs. Register, and add recs of your own. As of this writing, there are 876 recs in 107 fandoms. They also have a great links page.

The Hub
A selective listing of great X-Files sites.

Justacat's Slash Resource Site
A listing of slashfic rec sites, recommended stories, and archives for HP and due South fandoms. Plus Yahoo groups list, LiveJournals, and more. The same treatment for The Professionals is apparently on the drawing board, but she's changed "coming soon" to "coming eventually."

The BTVS Writers Guild
May the Fates protect us all from websites that have mission statements. This site is here to promote quality fanfiction for BTVS and ATS. Hot damn, we're saved! Actually, we're bored spitless. Now, if they were out to promote low, sleazey, corrupt-the-impressionable fanfic, I'd be out there waving their banner, but 'quality' is such a slippery, crap-weasley, we-know-what's-best kind of word. Five'll get you ten, these people believe their LOCs. OTOH, they have a fabulous (read: huge) listing of BTVS and ATS archives.

The Mammoth Index
This is an incredible resource for Xena fandom. They've got links for Art, Crossover Fan Fiction, Fan Fiction, Games, Merchandise, Fan Music, Music Videos, Non-English sites, Poetry and Filk, and Other. Good indexers never forget that all important Other category -- it saves so much time. I'm adding this site to the list of reasons I'm still very, very impressed with the folks over in Xena fandom.

Vids

Holy Bandwidth, Batman!

It's the themes, daaahling.
It's about the
subtle layers of meaning,
the infinite care taken with color and song choices,
the artistic vision,
the intricate story lines,
blah blah blah.

Me like pretty pictures. Ooooh, Clark. Ooooh, Duncan. Ooooh, Aaaaaangel. Preeeeetty.

Supernatural Vids A community for fan vids of Supernatural. I don't post a lot of vid communities, but this show is just so damn pretty, it must have vids. Don't miss: absolutely anything by Luminosity or Sisabet.

Vidding Discussion
Nothing slashy or sexy at all in that title, so what's it doing here and why did I interrupt your search for ever hotter and kinkier sex to list it? This is the premiere vidding community on LJ. This is where the best vidders on the net hang out and discuss their art. What makes it important to you? They announce their new vids here. All fandoms, all genres. You don't have to be a vidder to join, vid watchers are welcome, too. But if you show up over there moaning and bitching and trying to get someone to listen to your ground breaking, original idea for a Kirk/Spock vid to Stairway to Heaven, remember, I did not send you.

Battlestar Galactica Music Videos
I think this might be a very good time to remind everyone that just because I post a link here, it doesn't mean I'm endorsing the content. We all understand that, right? Good. This is an LJ community for posting BSG music vids.

Neptune Video
Another LJ vid community, which is a Very Good Thing. This one is for Veronica Mars, which is an Even Better Thing.

LOST Video Island
They bill themselves as "the web's biggest collection of fan-made videos related to ABC's Lost," and I don't doubt it. Vids are sorted by category, character, and vidder. They've got a "Random Vid" link too, which is kind of fun. It's a gorgeous site, all the links I checked worked, and it's really easy to navigate.

Video Elite
If you're looking for music vids in your favorite fandom, this is the place to start. Dozens of links to vid sites. Over twenty fandoms are listed, plus multi-fandom sites. It's a wonderful resource for vid lovers.

Buffyverse Music Video Database
A searchable database of online vids for BtVS and Angel. Lots of links. Tons of links. I'm not kidding -- you have to see this site. This is how it's done, people. You'll think you've died and gone to Buffy vid heaven. Check it out, then go make one for your fandom. Every fandom that has vids needs a site like this one.

Luminosity's Vidworks
Vids by Luminosity, The Shimmertwins, Luminosity and Kamil, and OSF Productions. Highlander, Smallville, Buffy, Angel, and multi-fandom vids. Don't miss: absolutely anything by Luminosity.

Paper Cup
BtVS vids by here's luck. To quote from the opening page "Man, I suck." Don't you believe it.

Bloodrose Productions
BtVS vids. Spike lovers, be sure not to miss 'What Do I Have To Do.' And Navigator won't do it -- download it in IE.

BoniBaru.com
Vids for Firefly, Smallville and BtVS fans. Also links, fanfic, and all the extras you get at great web sites.

Chez Morgaine
BtVS and Xena vids. This site has a few problems, but it's worth trying for the vids anyway. Don't miss: The Faith vids.

Elephant Momentum
BtVS and Angel vids by sisabet and dr.dawn. Don't miss: Whatever.

Farscape Fantasy
Farscape music vids. Vids are posted at 12:01 am Dallas time. Enjoy.

AMV
Anime music vids. Lots of them. Also forums, FAQs, and hardware and software information for vidders.

Multi-fandom Archives

Nobody can eat just one:

Multi-fandom sites and archives,
for people with
way too much time on their hands.

The Archive at the End of the Universe
A Multi-fandom archive with some really interesting search options. It's hard to determine exactly how many fandoms are included here, because the categories list fandoms that have zero stories. But the search criteria -- oh, my. Breathplay? I've gotta check that one out. And what the hell is "Original character -- other gendered?" For experienced slashers only: check out the Book section. If you've been looking for Peter Pan or Moby Dick slash, here they are.

The Android's Dungeon
Want to see a classic example of piss poor organization? Start at the Universe Index, and click on Highlander. Don't get your hopes up. The Highlander link leads to a crossover Uncovered/The Breed story. Granted, it's the same actors, but does that make it a Highlander story? I think not. They do have a lot of fandoms, though. Correction: they have a lot of universes listed, in both movie and TV fandoms. Whether they actually have stories in those fandoms -- or whether they're as screwed up as the HL listing -- is something you're going to have to determine for yourself.

skyehawke dot com
They have three divisions, but the only one I'm concerned with here is the archive. The very BIG archive. It's a php-based archive, so it's going to remind you of a couple of not-to-be-named, not-so-great archives that haunt fandom. Don't be fooled -- this one is a good archive. I have a theory about that: delve beneath the surface at skyehawke and you'll discover a literate development team with --gasp-- a sense of humor. Stories are divided into six broad categories: anime/manga, book, games/comics, movie/television, original fiction and original non-fiction. Under the heading of Again and Again and Again -- please, do yourself and fandom a favor: read the terms of use.

coffeeslash
There doesn't seem to be a unifying principle here, unless it's simply: "Hey, let's gather great stories from fantastic authors and put them on one site!" Anybody object to that? I didn't think so. Fandoms represented include Highlander, Sentinel, ER, CSI Miami, and lots and lots of ST: Enterprise.

Realm of the Shadows
F/F slash in more fandoms than mousehounde and I could count, or at least, were willing to count. If you go look, and at first you don't believe that, check under Other. See? Told ya. Fandoms run from the commonplace (Buffy), to the rare (Matilda: The Movie). Also videos, links, and a nice size gallery of photomanips. I had only one reservation about this site. They use those blinking *New* icons that make you want to keep a fly swatter next to the monitor.

The Paradoxical F/F Archive
I have lots of good things to say about this archive. One, it's legible. Startling, and not my favorite color choices (black background, neon fonts), but legible. Two, the stories are text files (white background, black font), so downloading and printing are quick and easy on your printer cartridges. The stories are divided by fandom, then listed by author, with pairings clearly indicated, and email links to the authors are handy and easy to click on for sending that all important feedback. Three, the fandoms. It's primarily a Trek archive, but the archivist has recently begun adding other fandoms -- seventeen other fandoms, by my count. Four... four... I know there was a four, what was it? Oh, it's been updated recently. Very big plus.

noire.sensus
This site is gorgeous -- and legible, and easy to navigate. Fandoms include HP, Final Fantasy (insert Roman numeral here), PotC, and LotR, among others.

Fandomination.net
Scroll down to the very bottom of the site and click on Terms of Service. The best laughs are in the section on quality standards. Bonus points will be awarded to anyone who can make it through the section on ethics without snickering or losing their lunch.

IIBNF Press
Fanzines and online stories in Due south, X-Files, LotR, and other fandoms. And may I just say -- get those damn stars off of my cursor!

Wordsmiths
HL, TS, SV, M7, BtVS, and probably more. Fiction, media recommendations, topical essays, and interactive role playing, among other things.

German Speaking Slashers United
This is the archive of the Querstrich mailing list, and it has stories in more fandoms than you can shake a tube of lube at. Stories are presented in German and English.

Prettyboys, University
I hate this site. No, I really do. It's absolutely useless, but it just won't die. Every time I check the link, it's still there. Not updated and no easier to navigate, but still there.

Live, Grow Stronger, Slash Another Day
You can't talk about multi-fandom sites and leave out the House of Slack.  Well, you could, but it would be an awfully short conversation.  This is the spot where the RSM first crawled out of the primordial slash-ooze.  It's also the home of some of the nastiest, meanest, most creatively sordid muses on the net.  Even the Ur-Kronos muse walks softly around these guys.  Wise slashers will check the phase of the moon before visiting.

SlashCity
Yes, you're already here. But did you come in through the front door or climb in a window at the back? Slashcity is one of the fastest growing slash sites on the net. Slashcity.com/.tv/or .org -- whichever dot you visit, there's a lot of wonderful stuff in the city, and it's all waiting for you on the other end of this link. Tour buses leave every hour on the hour. Please keep your hands inside the bus, and don't tease the natives. They dressed up in those funky costumes for your amusement, so be polite.

SlashFanfiction.com
An automated archive operated by the people who brought you Slashcity. On my most recent visit, this archive was hosting 3854 stories by 970 authors. There was no count available on fandoms. The archive does accept stories with het "pre-slash" content, but they prefer that the authors provide warnings for het. That's my kind of archive.

The Multifandom Merry Go Round
I'm not putting in a lot of single-author sites, but I'm making an exception for a few of the best of them -- like this one. Amy writes everything, and she writes it all too damn well. Sometimes I just want to slap her, you know?

The flambeau factory
Another single author site. Torch writes in twenty-nine fandoms, several of which qualify as rare. How does she do that?

Teland
And yet another multi-fandom prolific author. Te writes Buffy, X-Files, Lost Boys, HCL, OTF, Sports Night, Oz, The Usual Suspects, Virtuosity, Angel, and on and on and on. Absolutely disgusting, isn't it?

Castle's Keep
I counted twenty fandoms. If I go back in half an hour, it'll probably be twenty-one.

The Wonderful World of Makebelieve Archive
I counted over 140 fandoms, I was only counting slash, and I stopped somewhere in the Hs. The categories are divided into specialty archives, so you can browse without accidentally tripping over any gen fic.

The Tifling Gateway
Multiple fandoms, movie slash, links, etc.

Any Road
Single author - multiple fandoms. Merry writes Highlander, Sportsnight, Sentinel, Smallville, Stargate, Stargate: Atlantis, Popslash and more. And she does it all well.

The Pink Rabbit Consortium
Multi-fandom archive for femslash, f/f fanfic, alt fic, or whatever the hell they decide to call it tomorrow.

The Glass Onion Archive
Archive of the Glass Onion mailing list. Slash/Het/Gen, any rating, any pairing. Stories (no RPS, no underage sex) are from multiple fandoms, including Angel, BtVS, West Wing, Smallville, Harry Potter, Star Trek, X-Files, Farscape, the Lone Gunmen, and my personal favorite, Other.

Data Annex Fan Fiction Archive
There is slash here, but not much. It's a multi-fandom archive, but there's no convenient listing of the fandoms they host. Overall, five points for style, but minus two points on the execution -- the lack of a simple fandom listing is really inconvenient.

The Full House Slash Archive
All together now -- Eeeewww! Ick! Ick! Ick! Actually, you can relax -- it's not really Full House slash, it's just another multi-fandom archive, but one with a very misleading name. The archive contains Andromeda, BtVS, Darkangel, Angel, Sentinel, Star Wars, Star Trek, CSI, JAG, Magnificent Seven, QaF slash, and more. There's also original fic.

SlashNexus
Mostly Sentinel slash, but there are a few stories from other fandoms sprinkled around -- Glory Days, Charmed, MutantX, Invisible Man, SG-1, plus some original fic.

The Battlefields of Slash
LoTR, A:TS, Buffy, B5, Star Wars, The Mummy, Dogma, Blake's 7, QaF US, Forever Knight, due South, SG1, HP, and RPS. They changed the colors! No more sludgy, mid-tone purple fonts on a dark background. Now it's purple and black fonts on a white background. Lovely, and oh so legible.

bfslash
The lj community associated with the Battlefields of Slash Archive. Acceptable posts include slash, het and gen fiction, meta discussion, jokes, fic links, and as far as I can tell, just about anything and everything related to reading or writing slash and/or adult fic.

the_rec_room
A multi-fandom lj rec community: any fandom, any pairing, any genre, any rating. This is not strictly a rec community. It's also a fic-finder community. Looking for a story you remember reading a long time ago where you think Methos was talking to Alice in Wonderland about mushrooms versus dandlion wine, just before Duncan beheaded the Queen of Hearts? They can probably help you find it. Looking for kink or specialty fic you haven't been able to find at all? Say, oh, hypothetically speaking, Mulder/Orlando/Kronos BDSM/Mpreg stories? They can probably help you find those, too. And they wouldn't even snicker at you while they did it. Much.

One By One
AKA, The Short Attention Span Archive. It's a multi-fandom archive, and it's for stories that are complete in one part. No WIPs, no stories with multiple parts -- one story, one chapter. Fandoms include AtS, BtVS, Carnival, HP, Joan of Arcadia, Lost, The OC, Roswell, and Veronica Mars.

Back to the top

Specialty Archives

Multi-fandom slash
archives
with a unifying
principle.

Oh, now that's just wrong.
Let me try that again...

Multi-fandom slash
archives
where the stories
have more than
slash in common.

Flagitious Abuse
A community that only exists to do horrible, unspeakable, really perverted things to... wigs. This is my kind of community. There don't appear to be any rules, but you know, I wasn't really expecting any. What do you want to see -- don't tease the synthetics? No nylon/real hair pairings allowed? Seemed to be mostly PotC fic now, but that could change with the next Ridley Scott movie.

polyfic
A community for fic, art, fic recs and meta discussion about polyamory relationships. That's threesomes, people. Or more than three, if the author can keep track of everybody's knees and elbows. Slash, femslash and het are allowed.

Slashspank
A multi-fandom LJ community for spanking stories. All whip-me beat-me make-me-dress-like-a-duck stories are welcome as long as the discipline is loving and consensual. This is not the place to post your non-con or domestic abuse stories.

The Angst Archive
We do love it when they suffer, don't we? If you're tired of deleting the romance and humor from your slash selections, try this one. All angst, all the time.

Remember Us
A multi-fandom, multigenre archive for stories about characters of color.

Lust in the Dust
Archive of the Lust in the Dust mailing list. Slash stories with a desert setting. Fandoms include: Gladiator, M7, Highlander, X-Files, Star Trek, Due South, Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Mummy, BtVS, and, oh yeah, Lawrence of Arabia, among many, many others. This archive is no longer being updated.

Menage á Trois: Household of Three Archive
Multi-fandom archive for threesome stories. A good idea, poorly executed -- and the pulsing brain on the entry page was pretty scary - even more so because it's somebody's idea of erotic. This site is worth mentioning because it's the only archive where I've seen story warnings for male stripping and pole dancing. Do you have to warn for pole dancing?

The Darkness Within
Multi-fandom specialty archive. The specialty is stories in which the main character is destroyed. Not killed, they're very specific about that. Destroyed. How cheerful. Het, gen, and a little slash. Lots of Buffyverse crossovers.

Spy Crossover Extravaganza
Check out the new special feature at bifictional bedlam. Challenge stories for spy fandom crossovers -- or rather, for any fandom that has in any way, at any time, ever done anything that comes close to, or resembles a spy story. Any rating, any length. At this point, stories are available for: Alias, Buckaroo Bonzai, MI-5, Spooks, and X-Files. The challenge is still open, there is no deadline.

We Invented the Remix... Redux
I'm going to let them explain the concept: "Ever read a fic and think, wow, what a fascinating story, but if I had written it, I would have... Well, now here's your chance to do just that. Rewrite someone else's story, tell somebody else's tale. Take the work of another person and wrap it up in your vision and style, just like a remixer does to songs." Note: all the participants volunteered their stories. Don't try this at home.

Slash Advent Calendar
Holiday stories and snippets in your favorite slash fandoms. Watch in amazement as your favorite pairing bend each other over the Yule log! Thrill to the excitement of well known characters finding creative new uses for eggnog and mistletoe! Something like that, anyway. I haven't been paying all that much attention.

101 Ways to End Up in a Canadian Shack
Sixty-two fandoms, thirty writers. As advertised, there are 101 stories (and a finale), and the only things they have in common are the length (very short), and that ubiquitous Canadian shack.

You Want Fries with That?
Multi-fandom fanfic formatted for reading on PalmOS (Palm, Handspring Visor,  Sony Clié, TRG Pro, Handera, IBM Workpad), Apple Newton, HP  Palmtop, Psion/EPOC PDA, TI Avigo, Franklin eBookman, or WinCE handheld device.

Flat MTN
Fanfic formatted for your PDA. Fandoms include: Buffy, Facts of Life, ST: Voyager, X-Files, and Xena.

First Time's A Charm
Slash from the Yahoo group of the same name. First time slash stories in 44 fandoms. They also accept submissions from non-list members. Recently updated, which is always a relief to see.

comicfic.net -- it's what's for dinner
They're baaaack! And, oh, how I missed them. This one is hard to characterize without telling too much. Even the stories are a challenge. Is it slash, or is it het? Maybe it's --- dare I say it? -- gen? If you never visited this site in it's former incarnation as the Itty Bitty Archive, run, do not walk, and check it out. If you've been there before -- go check out the redesign. These people are sick and twisted, but they're my kind of sick and twisted, and I love them for it.

Wake Up Gay!
This site hasn't been updated since May, 2002, it's not going to be updated, and the site owner has declared it Officially Dead. This isn't a site I recommend to the experienced members of fandom, not for random surfing, anyway. Save it for those nostalgic, deja brouhaha moments. But it should be required reading for fandom newbies. The whole Waking Up Gay phenomenon in fanfic is something one should be exposed to early. Like measles.

MPREG
"The only archive that should provide barf bags as a community service." -- Amy
They changed their URL again. They didn't do a very good job though, one half-hearted google search later and I found them, damn it. Just file this one under 'there's no accounting for taste,' and don't bug us about it -- it's not our fault. In case you've been hiding under the bed, it's a multi-fandom archive for Male pregnancy fic.

formpregarchive
Not my fault. So not my fault. The Mpreg archive has an lj community. They don't list any rules or information on their userinfo page. They don't even have a link to the archive. They do have stories.

deppmpreg
RPS, Johnny Depp. Hah! You laughed and pointed while I wept about Orlando mpreg, didn't you? Well, JD fandom, share my pain. They have lots of stories waiting for you at this Johnny Depp mpreg lj community. Teach you bitches to snicker at me...

Sneezefic Archive
"MPREG's not looking so bad now, eh?" -- mousehounde
Just what it says, with stories in het, gen, and slash varieties. And it's affiliated with a list. Really. Nobody could make this up. And thank you, mousehounde. What would I have done without this one?

The Erotic Mind-control Story Archive
Multiple fandoms and lots of original fic. Categorized by flavor of kink for your reading convenience.

Laura's Spanking Corner
Original fic, mostly of the girl's school variety. One of the classic spanking sites.

Godawful Fan Fiction
They've been searching the net for godawful fan fiction since 1998, and they're willing to share the trauma with you. The site has reviews of and links to fan fiction from fifteen fandoms, plus crossovers. Most of the fic is exactly as bad as you think it will be -- the rest of it's even worse.

The Mary Sue Society
This one's just too easy. The temptation to say something snotty is almost overwhelming. I shall, however, prove my maturity by resisting temptation -- just this once. I'm not going to make a habit of it, or anything. I'll let the Mary Sue Society speak for themselves: "Mary Sues serve a psychological need: they make their creators happy." Stop snickering. It's not polite.

S.P.A.N.K. M.E.
Society for the Promotion Advancement and Necessity for Kilts on Men Everywhere. Complete with a small fic archive, and a slightly larger photo archive. All that and slash, too.

Rare Slash

Bright pink
in the
middle:

Slash so rare
it bleeds

Indeed, Sir
A fannish community for Jeeves and Wooster. If you haven't read the stories by PG Wodehouse, or at least watched the delightful TV adaptations with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, you probably should. I'm reliably informed that this community is slash friendly, but there's a lack of useful information on the user info page. Let's just assume it is, and let them kick us out if we get rowdy.

Excellent Omens
Good Omens. This is a rec lj for Good Omens fanfic. It's a single person site, not a community, but if you're looking for rare fanfic, you take the links where you find them and say thank you very much.

Thousand Ships
An archive for fanfic based on Classical Greek and Roman mythology. Gen, het and slash. It's small. It's unusual. It's mostly harmless.

vintagefic
Lj fic community for book, tv and movie-based fic set before 1939. Lots of smaller, obscure fandoms are represented here. Welcomes slash, het and gen.

rarelitslash
An lj community for posting rare or unusual bookbased fanfic. The community was slash only until January 2005, but now accepts het and gen fic, also. Absolutely no LotR or Harry Potter fic allowed. Well, they did say rare or unusual, and they meant it. Fandoms represented iinclude Winnie the Pooh, Bleak House, Brideshead Revisted, Ender's Game, The Great Gatsby, and many, many others.

The Dark is Rising Slash Archive
A small archive for a small fandom. But we're slashers, we know that size doesn't matter. It's easy to read, easy to navigate, and it's been recently updated. It's based on the ubiquitous archive style sheet -- you'll recognize it when you see it. But that's cool -- it means their JavaScript works. Remember the days when every other fandom site you visited had horrible JavaScript errors? You miss those days, don't you? Thought not.

While We Tell of Yuletide Treasure
More Xmas-themed stories, but these are in obscure fandoms. And some of them are pretty damned obscure -- Wheehee! Barrayar fic, at last! Rejoice with me as I do the Vor Mirror Dance of Ecstasy! Ok, I'm better now. Some of the stories are in well-known fandoms, but are twisted crossovers or odd pairings, and some of them are just, well, odd. But I'm all in favor of odd, it's too much normal that scares the hell out of me.

Salty Seamen
Yes, I triple checked the spelling of the name. An archive for stories inspired by the fiction of Patrick O'Brien and others. Pairings include Aubrey/Maturin and Bolitho/Dancer. And that's all I can tell you because I have no earthly idea what this is about. I am, however, going to ask mousehounde. She'll know, and I'll get back to you as soon as she explains it to me.

The Original Slash Archive
Not original as in 'first,' original as in 'not fanfic.' You know, Original Characters. All original characters. I'm putting it here because, well, I couldn't think where else to put it. Miscellaneous fandoms? It's not fandom related -- that's kind of the point. Multi-fandom? Same problem.

Beverly Hills 90210
Bare bones, and there's not much there yet, but it's slash.

Challenge-Land
An archive of fic written for challenges. No, that's not rare, but some of the fandoms are. In a quick tour I ran across the Usual Fandoms of X-Files, Red Dwarf, due South, Harry Potter, Spiderman, LotR, Buffy, and Smallville, but I also saw some Chronicles of Narnia, Gangs of New York, and Firefly fic. And I by no means looked at everything.

Turkish Delights
A Narnia fanfiction archive. Automated. Searchable. Very small, so the search shouldn't take long.

Slashville
They've got your standard slash fare -- you know, Highlander, Oz, and the Buffster type slash. And then they've got your not so standard slash fare -- BUGS, Coronation Street, Diablo (yeah, the Sony Playstation Diablo), Reservoir Dogs, Walker, Texas Ranger, and Scooby Doo, among others. Listen, if Scooby and Shaggy are getting it on, I don't want to know about it, OK? Velma and I will go wait in the van.

Silverlake
This site is too concerned with it's own PC-ness to be truly user-friendly. There are lots of well known fandoms, but they've also got rarer fandoms ranging from 24 to Boy Meets World to Six Feet Under. There's also something that looks like it's probably RPS, if you're at all squicky about that sort of thing. They seem to have some slash, some gen, and presumably some het. I say 'seem to' because it's hard to tell what you're getting by looking at the ratings or summaries. Click at your own peril -- their reluctance to provide clear labels means you may step in something smelly, or even het-like

Oblique Publications -- A slash archive
A treasure trove for collectors of rare slash. The stories are in pdf format, and among the fandoms represented on the site are: Adam Dalgliesh, Blackadder, Dalziel and Pascoe, Inspector Morse, Jeeves and Wooster, Lord Peter Wimsey, Sherlock Holmes, Northern Exposure, Tarzan, Wiseguy, and For the Greater Good. There are also stories from more well known fandoms, such as The Professionals, SW:TPM, and ST:TNG.

SlashCom
Website of the SlashCom mailing list -- dedicated to slashing situation comedies and comedy-dramas. Been looking for 'I Dream of Jeannie' slash? Really? I was just kidding, but if you want it, they've got it. Along with Blackadder slash, 'Allo, 'Allo slash, Drew Carey Show slash, Caroline in the City slash, and many others, strange or obscure. Sometimes, strange and obscure.

BritSlash Fiction Archive
They moved, but mousehounde tracked them down. This is one of my favorite slash sites. Try this one for a taste of slashfic for shows from across the pond. What the hell is Drop the Dead Donkey, anyway?

Bill and Steve's Excellent Adventure
Silicon Valley slash. If you need more explanation than that -- don't go here. If you don't want to imagine Brother Bill sans clothes, don't go here. BTW -- they've got some great links.

Fabulae
Archive of the Fabulae mailing list, and no, I have no idea what that is. But it appears to be multi-fandom and slash friendly. Lots of familiar fandoms that don't qualify as rare, but... Sweet Valley High slash? Yeah, OK, that's rare enough for me.

Femgeeks dot net -- for chicks with byte...
Formerly known as the Rare Slash Archive. I think. At least, this is where the old link leads to these days. The Femgeeks host eight archives including Rare slash,  Musician slash, Depeche mode slash, Tolkien slash, Lit slash, and RPS. I recommend you stop by and take a look at this one, if only for the sheer elegance of its appearance. But while you're there, take a break from browsing the archives and check out the projects link.

Sacrilege!
Holmes/Watson slash. Yes, that Holmes and that Watson.

Swamp Thing Fan Fiction Archive
I'm not kidding, it's really there. Would I bother to lie to you?

The Sharpetorium
Sharpe smut. They're probably kidding about the barnyard animals. Maybe. Somebody go check.

This Side of Paradise
Multi-fandom site. Qualifies as rare because of the Stephen King slash. Don't miss Valeria's Fan Fiction Drinking Game.

Tiriel's Treats
Gateway for three archives: The Bookhouse Boys -- Twin Peaks slash (the owls may not be what they seem, but they do serve a damn fine cup of coffee); On the Q.T. -- L.A. Confidential slash archive; 19 Haven St. -- First Wave fic.

Slash Cotillion
Historical slash, fanfiction, and original fiction. There's RPS at this site: Historical slash - Real People. Think about it, it'll come to you.

Phantom's Adult Transformers Archive
Luminosity sent me this one. I notified her family and they're watching her meds.

Battlestar Galactica

BSG Classic
BSG03

Lubing a classic Cylon
might be entertaining,
but lubing an '03 Cylon
would be a night

Battlestar Galactica 2003 Unofficial FanFiction Archive
You know I've got to ask, right? Is there an official BSG fanfiction archive out there somewhere? Stories are listed by author, by challenge, by character, and by "relationships." They also have listings for Action stories, AUs and crossovers. And the listings aren't bare bones, either. They list author, date posted, word count, category, pairing, rating, and whether it's part of a series. Did I mention the art? They have ton o' fan art. They also have several skins, but that never excites me.

galacticafics
I think this archive is supposed to be a deep dark secret. So how did I stumble across it? I honestly don't remember. I wade in a lot of murky shit looking for links. And how did I know it's BSG03? Good question. I played with the search engine. It's not like there's anything on the main page to let you know what fandom you're wading around in. I mean no-thing. There's a decent amount of fic though, some from authors I recognized, and some of it quite recent, so it's not an orphan-archive.

Battlestar Galactica 2003 Fics & Pics
An LJ community for Battlestar Galactica 2003 fanfic and fanart. The community is het, slash and gen friendly. Not a squee community, so if you want to drool about the actors, go elsewhere. But if you want fics and pics, this is the place. And it's run by elke, so of course there are great links.

Battlestar Galactica slash fic and chat
An LJ community for Battlestar Galactica 2003 fanfic and chat. Het and gen are welcome, but the community is primarily slash.

By Your Command
Battlestar Galactica slash. Forget light sabers -- how do you lube a Cylon?

House

Our House
is a very,
very, very
nice house.

Did you get
through that
without snickering?

Really?

Are we

the same show?

All House Slash, All the Time
An LJ community for House slash. You never would have figured that out on your own, would you? As long as it's about House, and it's slash, it's welcome here, which means fic may be FPS or RPS. Also fanart, wallpaper, and anything else you can make slashy is welcome.

Grabbing His Cane: The House/Wilson LJ Community
As you can see by the site name, it's an LJ community. It's House. It's for discussion, fanfic, fanart, graphics, "wild speculation," etc., about the House/Wilson dynamic. Dynamic -- I love it. Is that what we're calling hot monkey sex these days? It's so hard to keep up.

The House Fan Fiction Archive
Dorothy sent me my first link for House fanfic. This archive is for all ratings, all categories, and it's mean and lean. It's attractive, which is cool, but it's obvious the archivist chose to use her time working on the organization, not the pretty, which is even better. Pretty is only pixel deep, a good search engine is forever.

House Fan Fiction
An LJ community for all genres of House fic -- slash, gen and het. Discussion is permitted, as long as it applies to plot lines and/or characters. Fan art is welcome, too.

Supernatural

He's not
slashy,
he's my
brother.

Oh, wait, backup...

Supernatural Fiction and Art
This link comes from maygra, who is almost single handedly responsible for the Mag 7 section. This one is an lj community for Supernatural, and when they say fiction and art, they mean it -- no discussions about the show or the actors, no introductory posts. FPS and RPS fic is accepted, and -- oh joy -- the moderators put all the fic posts in the memories. God, I love that. It's a small thing that makes a big difference. I love lj, but it's not a great archiving tool. Don't you love paging back, back, back through an lj searching for part 5 of a 34 part story because the author doesn't put anything in memories? Memories are your friend.

spnnewsletter
A lovely resource for Supernatural fandom. This lj community posts daily updates on news, meta posts, challenges/ficathons, communities, episode reviews, recs and other miscellaneous goodies, fanfic, songvids, fanart , and screencaps. Check in here once a day and you won't miss out on a single good fic or fandom kerfluffle happening on lj. How could you possibly resist?

Ghost Hunters Supernatural Fanfiction Archive
It's new, it's small. It's automated. It's also cute and it defines Supernatural fandom -- if you exclude incest from the search results you get zero search results. This fandom is so twisted -- gotta love that.

Supernatural Slash
An LJ community for Supernatural slash, and only slash. No gen of any persuasion. Pre-slash stories are welcome. UST stories are welcome. You can see the slash if you squint real hard and think dirty thoughts stories are not welcome. FPS only. Slashy fan art is also welcome.

Supernatural Fanfiction
A fic only community for Supernatural. All genres are allowed -- gen, het and slash -- and all non-fic posts will be deleted. One quick note on the community rules -- a rule that strongly enourages the use of betas is a Good Thing. But when you have to explain what a beta does, you're probably pissing into the wind.

Keep it in the Family
An LJ community for posting anything having to do with the relationship between the Winchester brothers on Supernatural. Take any warnings you feel you need from the title, and leave me out of it.

Sinful Desires
FPS and RPS. Two archives for the price of one -- FPS and RPS. Also AIM icons, LJ icons, wallpaper, fan videos and LJ headers. The fandom is still new, so it's recently and frequently updated. Enjoy it while it's still shiny. No links of interest, but it's early days yet.

SPN Prompts
A Supernatural LJ challenge community with an interesting take on the challenge scenario -- fics are based on images posted to the community. It's samll, but it's weird.

The Young Winchesters
An Lj community for Supernatural stories set before the series takes place. All genres are welcome -- gen, het and slash. Also welcome are stories set in the present that contain flashbacks. Warning: I'm not investigating this one too closely. There's just something about the combination of slash and the phrase "totally adorable as kids" that makes my teeth itch. Enter at your own risk.

Lost

Deserted island,
good looking men,
strange, rustling noises
in the bushes....

the strange,
rustling noises
would be
the slashers,
of course.

The LOST Fan Fiction Archive
Lost fic, obviously. The archive accepts FPS stories in all-pairings, all-genres, and all-ratings. Does not accept stories containing Mary Sue's. Gotta love that.

A World Away: The Lost Slash Archive
Not very large, yet, but it's a relatively new fandom. Stories are listed by author, by title, and by category (read: pairing). There's nothing exceptional about the archive structure, but there's nothing to complain about either. Makes for a boring listing, doesn't it?

Lost - Fanfic
Story categories are Conventional, Unconventional, Slash/Multiple, and General/Non-shipper. Don't ask -- I have no idea what Unconventional means in this fandom. The archivist reserves the right to refuse submissions, and apparently she's very picky. The submission guidelines insist that "all stories should have paragraphs and spacing in between them." High standards like that kind of get your hopes up, don't they?

Fic in a Bottle
FPS and RPS. LiveJournal fic only community. Genres include het, gen, slash, crossovers and AUs.

Lost Slash
An exclusively slash LiveJournal community for Lost. No het, no RPS.

Lost RPS
RPS. A Lost RPS fic LiveJournal community.

BrokebackSlash
Brokeback Mountain. A community for people who really, really need a Brokeback Mountain fix. This is a huge community, and it's very active. Just scrolling through the tags made me dizzy. OK, it made me drool too, but that's probably TMI. They allow art, poetry, and anything fanfic related, including humor. Yes, humor. They had to mention that specifically. They also felt they had to include links to define parody. I love these little windows into a fandom. They had to specifically state that humor is allowed. Sorry. I just keep getting stuck there.

Brokeback Mountain Fan Fiction
Brokeback Mountain. Fan fiction and artwork inspired by Brokeback Mountain. All ratings are allowed. Discussion or question posts must be "thought provoking, not frivolous." Sometimes it's so easy it's not even worth the effort to mock. I wonder if these people allow humor?

spideyslash
Spiderman Spiderman slash community -- fiction and icons for the movieverse and the comic. No exclusively het fics allowed, but they do allow all other genres, pairings and ratings, including RPS. I love it when they give me those kind of essentials on the userinfo page. You wouldn't believe the hours I spend trying to tease that kind of information out of the content. Hours and hours and hours -- most of it spent skimming really bad fic -- and sometimes I still can't tell what the hell an archive or community is for. These mods cover all the bases, and they actually use the memories feature. Bless their webby little hearts.

Troy Slash
Troy This large lj community is for slash based on the movie Troy. They accept fics of all ratings, and discussion of the delightful slashiness in Troy, The Illiad, and The Odyssey is welcome. Stories with het elements are welcome, as long as they're clearly labeled. The guidelines don't specifically state whether RPS is welcome, but I browsed a bit -- ok, more than a bit -- and didn't see any.

You Strike Me Still
I'm trying to think of a pair of characters who are less deserving of a rain of little pink hearts on their "one and only" web page, but I'm drawing a blank. Let's pause a second while I reload my brain. Most of the stories here are based on the movie Alexander, but there are a few historical fics, too. They've got quotes, a gallery, links, multimedia (icons and trailers), and some links I was scared to click. And lest we forget, they've got those floating pink hearts on the main page.

BBI Chronicles of Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers
Fanfic for one of the slashiest movies ever made from a comic book. Seriously. Just close your eyes every time Ellen Barkin comes on screen, and the rest of the movie is slash heaven. The stories here are all ratings, all genres. They also have links, writer resources, orphaned plot bunnies and challenges.

tweaked fiction
Fan fic based on the movie The Faculty. This site makes me feel like I've stepped into an information black hole. I know that some of the fic is slash, but only because I recognize titles and authors, not because they actually tell you anything that useful. I don't know if there's any het or gen mixed in with the good stuff. Not that I actually care about het and gen, you understand, but still, slashers deserve warnings too, don't we?

jacked_up: Guaranteed to jack you up
I so didn't need another fandom, but as long as I'm here, I'll share. This is an lj community for Faculty slash, all pairings, all ratings, RPS and FPS. Stories are linked in the community archives by length, pairing and rating.

caseyzeke: One of us is a decoy
An lj community for smut about Casey/Zeke from The Faculty, FPS and RPS. Besides fanfic, acceptable posts include discussion, pictures, news, and theories. Theories about what, they don't say.

A Knight's Tale
A Knight's Tale.This is an archive for slash fiction for A Knight's Tale fandom. I'm going to do everyone a favor and resist the almost overwhelming temptation to rant about people who don't understand title tags. No, I'm not -- according to the title bar on my browser, the main page of this site is titled "A Knight," and the title of the links page is "New Page 1."

Walk of Shame
Het and slash fic archive for the Sorority Boys movie mailing list. It's pink and white, with high heels. The website, not the mailing list.

Gladiator
Yes, it's fic, mostly slash, inspired by the movie Gladiator. And it looks fine, until you actually click on a story. I doubt she formatted the stories that way on purpose. At least, I hope not.

Diva Vexa Aeturna
Gladiator fic, all ratings. Not Netscape friendly. Not even a little bit.

Great & Fabulous
Fan fiction inspired by the motion picture Ned Kelly. There's slash, of course.

Fight Club Slash Archive
Just the fic, ma'am. The entire site is as clean and unpretentious as its name. No RPS or underage slash allowed.

Touch My Stump
An automated archive for Hard Core Logo fandom. Visit. Read. Upload your HCL stories. And while you're doing it, take shit from nobody. Just my little happy thought for the day.

VG Fairy Stories 2000
I don't name 'em, I just link to 'em -- but that names's kind of catchy, isn't it? Velvet Goldmine slash from the VGFairyStories2000 mailing list, complete with info for joining the list, which is always nice to have.

Satellite of love
Velvet Goldmine archive. Het, gen, slash, filk, crossovers, AUs. No RPS, no explicit under-age sex.

Shanghai Slash
Slash for the movie Shanghai Noon. This is the archive for the Shanghai-slash mailing list, but non-members are encouraged to submit their fic, too. Like I tell my Methos muse, it's small, but it's pretty.

The Marrow Life
Archive of Dead Poets Society slash. It has more stories than I expected to find. Also has images.

JayandSilentBob slash
It didn't mean anything to me either, but Zen and Moonpuppy took pity on me and explained it to me. Slowly. In words of one syllable.

Loving Lecter
Maybe slash, maybe not. But you didn't really think I'd be able to resist listing this one, did you? This site is for Hannibal Lecter fanfic. BYOFB.

JP3 Alan and Billy List and Archive
Jurassic Park 3 slash. I was going to list it in the miscellaneous section, then I saw this note on their link page: "alan and billy pages -- None right now. If you find any, let us know."

Fluent Fag
Bring it On slash archive. You know, Bring it On, that cheerleader movie. Yeah, I didn't know it either. Stories are listed by author, by title, and by pairing. Quite a few stories, but only one link -- to the official movie site.

League of Extraordinary Fanfiction
Archive for League of Extraordinary Gentlemen fan fic, including slash. Also fan art, resource links, and essays.

Seize the Night
An archive for slash fic inspired by the movie Newsies. Stories are indexed by pairing and by author. There are also links, galleries that aren't worthy of the name, and a really irritating animated gif on the main page. Do I need to mention the dark blue font on the black background, or are you getting the idea?

The Richie/Methos Slashfic List Archive
As strongly as I feel about Methos/Anybody-but-Duncan fic, I promise that I didn't overlook listing this site for so long on purpose. It was an oversight. An unfortunate mistake. A tragic accident. It wasn't deliberate, all right? My most abject and insincere apologies to all Richie fans everywhere. Is that enough groveling? It's listed now, so shut the fuck up.

highlander_lj
Lj community for Highlander fandom. Note that this is not a fic only community; discussion, drooling, pic posts, and gossip are allowed. According to the moderators, the community is slash biased, but not slash exclusive. Fic posted can be any rating, any pairing, but absolutely no RPS allowed.

highlander_ rps
RPS. Little bitty lj fic community. Almost miniscule, even. So small that if they were any other fandom, I'd probably not list them, but... Highlander? I'm so proud of these eight women I could spit. I mean, really -- RPS? In Highlander? In the meanest, most conservative fandom on the internet? I'm impressed right down to my socks. You go girls.

Amandaslash
This archive is small, but tasty. I'd include Amanda in that description, but she's actually quite tall, and I have no idea what she tastes like. A few stories, a few images, a few links, all attractively presented. Well, that goes without saying -- it's Amanda, after all.

The ROG-L Guide to Highlander on the Web
I'm maintaining yet another link page. Sigh. It's my own fault. I whined and groveled on the Really Old Guy list, and the list members actually listened to me, bless their hard little hearts. They sacrificed their time, energy, and lots and lots of bandwidth, searching the web for every HL site they could find. Then we deleted all the sites that consisted of one page with a picture of Methos on heart-covered bright pink wallpaper, with blinking text reading "I Drool for Methos," and a midi of "Princes of the Universe." We ended up with a list that consists of the great sites, the good sites, and the sites that didn't make our brains melt. Enjoy.

The Seventh Dimension Highlander Fan Fiction Archive
Every night I say a little prayer; "Please God, please don't let Ann get hit by a bus tomorrow."  Her wonderful HL archive now hosts over 3000 stories: gen, het, and lovely, lovely slash. For visiting with an old favorite or discovering a new writer, there's no place else like it in HL fandom.

The Highlander Quill Club
"Come upstairs and let me show you my etchings, little girl." Just when we think we've seen everything, Eng comes up with new ways to delight and amaze us.  A wonderful HL archive, of course, along with pictures, postcards, contests, screen captures, other assorted Highlander goodies, and topping it all off -- Eng's Etchings. And while I've got your attention, let me just add this -- as far as I know, it's the only place on line where you can be thrilled and amazed by cm decarnin's legendary, must read HL opus: And Hades Followed Him.

Futures Without End
Web edition of the best HL zine, bar none. Editions one through four are available through this link. Great stories, beautifully presented, and illustrated with some of the best fan art on the net.

The Methos Boxer Brigade
Boxer fic! Toe fic! Popsicle fic! Highlander, of course, and if I have to explain it, you probably can't handle it. Plus there are links, intelligence reports, con pics, essays, and more. There are even recipes: first, you skin a pig...

The ROG-L Recommended Reading List
Not an archive, but I'm doing the typing so I get to list it anyway. It's a list of HL stories, all of them involving Methos, that are recommended by the members of the ROG-L mailing list, with links to the archives or author pages where the stories can be found. And it's just been updated -- all the links work. Better catch it now, that'll probably last for, oh, at least a week or two.

Blood, Love & Rhetoric
She's one of my favorite HL slash authors so I'm listing her here, even though she writes in several fandoms. Expand your horizons, check out Sleeps with Coyotes' fanfic. Warning: she's just a bit... insane. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Seacouver
It's not strictly an archive -- OK, it's not an archive at all, but I'm listing it anyway. It's a multi-author, multi-fandom site, but most of the fic, and what all the authors have in common, is Highlander, hence the name. The authors currently residing in Seacouver are Killa, elynross, Taz, and the incomparable Illuferret. In my humble opinion, this is one of the top three sites for great HL slash on the net. At Seacouver, not only is there not a bad one in the bunch, there's not a mediocre one in the bunch. When you visit Seacouver, you just have to settle for excellence.

The Smallville Slash Archive
The fandom may be relatively new, but the people running this archive have obviously been around for awhile. Very well done.

The Level Three Records Room
Sister archive to the Smallville Slash archive, this one is the archive of the Level Three mailing list, and welcomes all ratings, pairings, and genres.

LexSlash
Fanfiction (see name of site for details), episode transcripts (in .pdf format), links, video clips, sound bites, recs, and eye candy. One stop shopping.

small town girls
The archive of the smallville femslash mailing list. If you're surfing with Netscape, don't even wait for the page to finish loading. Go straight to view and click on Text Zoom. Your eyes will thank me.

first down: the whitfic archive
Archive for Whitney Fordman fanfic. The archive has slash and het fic, and the archivist says they would accept gen -- if someone would write some.

Tall Tales
An automated archive. Accepts gen, het, and slash. Most of what I saw during a quick tour was het, but there was a spattering of slash. The stories are listed by author and title, with no provision for searching by character, pairing, rating, or genre. In other words, you gotta wade through a whole lot of '"Oh, Clark!" Lana simpered, wondering if her dead parents, tragically killed in the meteor shower, had ever done this,' to get to '"Oh my God, Lex!" Clark moaned as his eyes rolled back in his head.'

Damn, there it is, right on the opening page, right there in front of godandeverybody: male-on-male sex. One of those males is going to be Faramir, Boromir's much loved, under-appreciated younger brother from LotR. There's gotta be lots of angst here -- I'd bet on that without even looking. Didn't that hopeless charge just tear you're heart out? Besides the fiction archive, they've got a picture archive (fanart, not screencaps), and an interactive story. It's very attractive, too. Elegant, restrained. Almost tasty.

King and Herald
An archive for Elrond/Gil-galad fic. When you visit this archive, I want you to keep in mind that there are archives out there so bad even I won't list them. The most offensive thing here is some mildly mediocre fanart. Ok, so it's god-awful fanart. I was trying to be nice. I do that occasionally, not that anybody ever notices.

The LotR BDSM Dungeon
Does the site name not say everything that needs to be said? Maybe not. Let's see if I can add anything useful. It's an lj fanfic community. It's LotR -- NOT Lotrips. Discussion is allowed. Pimpage is encouraged. They have an intelligent rating system -- warn for NC-17, warn for Strong R, warn for Gen so the people looking for the NC-17 stuff can avoid it.

Meddling in the Affairs of Wizards
LotR. A Gandalf slash archive. How cool. It's about time the old guy got some. And in his own archive, too. Fics are sorted by pairing. Oh, look -- Gandalf/Legolas stories! I didn't see any Gandalf/Sam stories, but I'm not complaining. Really, I'm not.

Henneth Annûn
The archive of the Henneth Annûn list. Accepts quality LotR fic of any rating, any genre, any character. At this writing, the archive houses 997 stories, which you can sort by any combination of author, era, genre, or character, or you can get the entire listing and browse on your own.

AL Slash Archive
More Aragorn/Legolas fic. Archive of the AL Slash mailing list. It has a very few stories involving someone, or something, else, but not many. There's also a little bit of fan art, and... I was going to say links, but they only have one link listed that isn't a webring. These people don't get out much. I wonder what they're doing in there? Not much apparently, the archive hasn't hasn't updated since 2005.

West of the Moon
Slash and gen. Those are the only fic categories they list. I wondered if they put the het in with the gen, but I looked and I didn't see any. I saw lots of 'Frodo and Sam do this...' 'Frodo and Sam do that...' in the gen story summaries, and I had to wonder if Frodo/Sam counts as het. In LotR fandom, stranger things than that are considered normal. Also links, slash-poetry, and lots of LotR event reports.

Longing...
Welcome to Hobbit love central, where all things with furry feet flourish. It's Hobbit slash. With tiny little Hobbit titles, and tiny little Hobbit toes, and tiny little Hobbit whatevers. Also a fan art gallery, screencaps, and links. It's one page of story titles, so it doesn't really matter how they're sorted, does it? Also, I couldn't find any reference to when it was last updated. Yes, I look for things like that. They do have an update link, but that page has nothing so prosaic as actual dates.

Anuonnen
Mpreg. It hurtsss us, preciousss, it hurtsss us! The stories are painful enough, but they've got fan art and photomanips, too. But could I just note that and move on? Of course not. I had to check out the pages to make sure the links work. They do. I did this for you, you know. I don't look at this stuff for my own amusement. Pregnant Legolas isn't my thing. My squicks aside, it's actually a very attractive, well organized archive. So why do I still feel like I need to take three showers and disinfect my loofah?

Meduseld
You're looking for Eomer, fic, right? Or maybe nothing that specific -- how about just the Rohirrim in general? Pounding hooves, racing hearts, sweaty men on horseback? You found it. Gen, het, slash, humor, dark fic, adventure, poetry, songfic, and more. Plus links, chat and art.

Bagenders
What can I say about a site where chapters have summaries like: "Pippin's porn collection reaches critical mass?" They call it extreme silliness, but I'm not sure that description is, uh... extreme enough. Gen, slash, smut, and their unique take on mpreg. And I'm not going to complain about the mpreg -- no, I'm going to save my complaining for the lack of contrast. They never did move the archive, as they threatened to do, but they're no longer posting new stories.

Hall of Fire
These people used to be a lot more fun before they went and got all dignified and prissy and changed their name. They used to be pervy elf fanciers, and it showed. Now, well, it's kind of boring, but at least the wallpaper border doesn't cover the text anymore. I miss the pervy elves on the splash page, though. They still have fic and galleries, but the site is no longer being updated.

Elf Fetish
Elf fic. Mostly, but not totally, LotR Elf fic. Those elves are slippery little critters. If you ask me, they all ought to be kept on leashes. Very short leashes. What stories those little devils come up with! Imagine, dishonoring Master Elrond in a bathtub. Tsk-tsk. Also, elf images, audio files, a do it yourself MarySue story generator, and my favorite, a flow chart to help authors name their OC elves ("Start Here: Is your character an elf? Yes. No.").

Axe and Bow
I shall set aside my certain knowledge of the One True Pairing that is Legolas/Aragorn long enough to tell you what you need to know about this archive. It's a pretty site -- clean and well organized. It's the archive of the AxeBow discussion forum on Yahoo groups. It has fan art, and links, and character discussions, plus resources for writers. It's an archive of Legolas and Gimli stories, enmity, friendship and -- shudder -- slash. There. I've done my job. Now -- what the hell are these people thinking? Do they have any idea how wrong this is? Legolas, honey, how could you?

Elf n Hobbit
The archive of the Elf n Hobbit group at Yahoo. How many times do I have to explain this to you people? Legolas belongs with Aragorn, period. Their love is pure and everlasting. Why do you insist on throwing pervy little hobbits into that perfect, timeless romance? Frodo? Please. Sure, he's cute and cuddly and winsome, but once you've been had by Aragorn, a hobbit is barely an appetizer.

Melethryn Archive
Elfslash. Stories are indexed by author, pairing, and title. There's also a random fic selector. Hit it, and it picks six fics for you. Reload for six more. I'm not sure it's useful, but it's fun.

So Wrong! The OrcSlash Archive
Not just another slash archive for LotR fandom. This one is brought to you by the folks on the OrcSlash mailing list. Go. Look. Have a good time.

Fellowship
A Boromir/Aragorn slash fan fiction archive. With a gallery, a mailing list, links, and writer resources.

Least Expected: A Tolkien Slash Archive
Archive of the Tolkien slash mailing list. They claim to be the oldest Tolkien-slash list on the net, and they may very well be -- how the hell would I know? And why would I care? I know one thing though -- this site is incontrovertible proof that slash isn't always pretty. I didn't delve into the stories myself, so you're on your own. For your sake, I hope the fics are better than the graphics -- but they'd almost have to be.

Library of Moria
First, the good things. Their opening graphic is lovely, the archive is huge, and it's frequently updated. But... you knew there was a but coming, didn't you? These people may be the wittiest, most talented archivists on the net, but even Gandalf couldn't tell that from their opening page -- tiny neon green font on a black background. The stories, thank goodness, are done in a black font, on a white background.

The darker side of Orlando Bloom based fanfiction
OB: RPS, FPS. The sucky name aside, I like this lj community. But that's probably because it pushes my buttons. Angsty, dark, painful Poor!Orli fic -- fps and rps. Yummy. Torture -- physical or emotional -- is encouraged. No skipping through the flowers stories, and absolutely NO het stories allowed.

Where's Elijah?
An archive of Elijah Wood challenge stories. To understand this archive, you first need to understand that RPS is a bit different than the rest of slash fandom. In RPS, maybe especially in Lotrips, good characterization is getting the haircut right, and canon comes from DVD extras, Google Alerts and the latest GQ photo shoot. As for this site, well, back in 2003, there was a two month period when EW dropped out of sight, so of course... oh, shut it. Like your fandom isn't capable of moments of mass idiocy.

Banalando
OB/EB. An LJ community dedicated to the Orlando Bloom/Eric Bana pairing. And what a pretty pairing it is. A very active community, with lots of delicious fic. It's not actually Lotrips, but it's going in the Lotrips section because I'm not starting a new section every time Orlando hugs another man. Not yet anyway.

Northern Softy
Orlibean. An lj community for people who appreciate the grace, beauty, and snide hilarity that is Orlibean. The community is for Sean Bean/Orlando Bloom fan fic, and welcomes both RPS and FPS fic. Please warn for threesomes and groups --some of us prefer our Orlibean straight without artificial additives. Except Viggo. In this fandom, Viggo's not an additive -- he's a condiment. Or maybe a crouton.

Sigil
Absolutely too weird not to list. This is a small, almost microscopic archive of stories that put the LOTR actors in Neil Gaiman's Sandman Universe. If you haven't been there, I can't explain it.

insatiable
Vigorli. An lj community for Viggorli fic. No fanart, no manips, no teeny-fic. All fic must have Viggorli as the main pairing, although threesomes are welcome, and other pairings are allowed as long as the main pairing is VM/OB.

fellow_shippers
Lj fic community for Lotrips slash.They don't specify slash only, and they don't specifically say no het, no gen, but I'm trying to remember if I've ever seen any het or gen show up here... Nope. Can't remember one.

carefullykissed
Vigorli. An lj community celebrating VigOrli fic. Welcome to a Happy!fic community. Angst-lite is allowed, but only if there's a happy ending. Go ahead, scoff -- we don't mind, we're used to it. Finished? OK, moving on...

vigorleancult
Vigorli. An lj community for anything V/O related. Absolutely no het allowed. Implied het is tolerated, if you absolutely must, but that's it.

Rugbytackling
Fic from the rugbytackling community on LiveJournal, and it's associated Yahoo! list. Slash involving Viggo Mortenson/Sean Bean and/or their various characters. And isn't that a pretty picture.

Perfect Bloom
Orlando Bloom, RPS and FPS. A Relatively new automated archive. Stories are listed by movie and by author. There's also wallpaper, pictures, and links to writer's resources.

bloompreg
RPS, Orlando Bloom. I wasn't there, I didn't see this, and as soon as I finish typing this, I'm going to go wash my hands and scrub my brain. It's an lj community for Orlando Bloom mpreg fic. Fic must be related to Orlando, he must be one of the pairings, but he doesn't have to be the one who's pregnant. Thank heaven for small favors.

Digitalcandy.net
RPS and FPS. LoTR, Lotrips, Popslash, Other. Home to assorted slash, smut, and other tasty snacks. Be sure to visit Pretty When You Cry, an Elijah Wood character torture archive, and Gloria Mundi's fic site. And they host lots of other authors, too.

Slasha, baby!
Yeah, technically, this is part of Digitalcandy.net, and shouldn't need to be listed separately. But as of this posting, the link on their main page doesn't work, and this one does, and you know I'd hate for you to miss anything.

Bloomwood -- House of Pretty
Orlijah. An aptly named site, given the pairing. Have I mentioned lately that I love Lotrips? Not just the stories, the whole damn fandom. This site will give you an idea why. Check out the standard-to-rps disclaimers: "also, we make this shit up. yes." I love it when people get right to the point.

Love & Beauty, Elegance & Strength
Vigorli. Yet another reason to hate I-frames. Don't you just love reading stories in little bitty boxes? One thing this site does have: great links. Not just to the standard web sites -- she has links to LJs that are full of hot Vigorli fic.

Monaboyd.net
For those of you new to -- or totally, willingly, downright gratefully ignorant of Lotrips fandom -- I'll explain the name: it's Dom/Billy slash. That helped, didn't it? But there are other pairings here, too. All I have to say is -- I could tell it's Lotrips. Without looking at titles, names, pictures or pairings I could tell -- there's an orgy listing in the search engine. Go Lotrips!

The Haven Project
Orlando Bloom, RPS and FPS. A very small archive of stories about Orlando, or his characters. It's small because it's an extremely selective archive. There's an anonymous board that approves all story submissions, and because I know you're wondering, board members are not allowed to submit their own stories. It's going to be interesting to see how it works out.

The I Want Archive
An entire archive of song fic. And it's all the same song. My life is now complete. Let's just put this down to one of those insane, we're-all-in-this-together, warm and fuzzy bonding moments that happen in fandom sometimes, usually during the full moon (See "101 Ways to End Up in a Canadian Shack"), and move on to the next link.

VOLA Slash Archive
This used to be one of the most frequently updated archives in Lotrips fandom, but I just stopped by and they've still got their Christmas decorations up. They do have an LJ community now at volaslash, so maybe that's taking up all their time. I couldn't tell if they accept fic posts on the LJ community or not. There's almost nothing on the user info page, and I saw at least one "didn't know I wasn't supposed to post fic here" post. On the other hand, I also saw several fic posts. Don't miss the link to the Other Vola -- the section of the archive for stories that aren't strictly Viggo/Orli.

Of Elves and Men
FPS and RPS. This is the archive of the LotR Adult Fiction group at Yahoo (list links are provided on the front page). Stories are slash and het, and are sorted by author, by character, and by title. There are very few frills to get in the way of your reading, and they have great links.

Broken Boundaries
Stories are listed by author and by pairing. They also have recommendations, links, polls, quizzes, a cast list, and a handy dictionary, although I'd quibble over a few of their definitions -- archive and badfic, just to name two. The archive is still there, but it's no longer being updated.

Mirrormere
This is the archive for the LotR RPS list, but they also take submissions. The site has a little bit of HP FPS, a little bit of Oz fic, and over six hundred LotR FPS stories right now, but it's going to end up filed under lotrips. They have over two thousand lotrips stories here, and there are more being added all the time. An archive that big needs some wicked organization, and these folks have got it. The stories are sorted by categories, authors and titles, and you can also search by author's pen name, chapter title, summary, or by character, genre, rating, and warning. Or you can enter your own search term. Nifty, huh? Let's go search for 'Orlando' and 'ugly shirt' and see how many hundred stories come up.

Lotrips remix '06
The 2006 stories are up, and the archives go back to 2003. The list of participating authors is a lovely resource; the links go back to the authors' fic pages.

Every Single One
Totally lotrips, no sign of FPS anywhere. The archive is simple, plain, and large. Stories are sorted by author and by pairing. Also, a random pairing generator and lots and lots of links. Unfortunately, the archive hasn't been updated since 2004.

Characters in Bloom
FPS and RPS. Archive of the CIB mailing list. Slash for every Orlando Bloom role. The fic is sorted by role (within the role listings it's sorted by pairing), and by author. Fic containing het or femmeslash pairings is included only if the primary pairing is m/m slash.

Kirk/Spock Automated Archive
Kirk/Spock -- the classic slash pairing. And the Kirk/Spock pairing must be key to the story, or it will be deleted from the archive. The story must be complete, or it will be deleted. The main categories here are Fiction, Ficlets, Poetry and Essays, and the categories can be searched by author, character, genre, warnings, and ratings. The author link is at the top of the page; click on it and you get the option to search by title, too. The search page adds the ability to search by keyword. It's beautifully organized. Spock would approve.

The EnSTCommunity
ST: Enterprise. Home of the Warp 5 Complex fan fiction archive. Het, slash and gen stories accepted. For any links you don't see on the main page, click on Departments. For anything beyond that, you're on your own. There doesn't seem to be a site map, just a lot of sub-menus. You have to go there to get here. I strongly recommend that you bookmark any page you might want to visit again later. That, or drop bread crumbs. Recently updated.

Better Living Through Trek Stories
All series. An all inclusive Trek archive. All shows, all genres, all pairings, all kinks. No trek is too bold, no universe too unexplored, no whipped cream is too whipped. There are two archives available here -- same stories in each, but one is text versions and one is graphics heavy versions. Very graphics heavy.

Archer's Enterprise
Archive of the Archer's Enterprise group at Yahoo! This one's a little difficult. I don't find it attractive, but that may just be because I'm not overly fond of sky-blue as a color choice. So I'll give them that one. And looks aren't the point, anyway. All the links work, which is always a plus, so I'll give them that one, too. But they lose serious points on navigation. Check out the instructions: "If you are interested in a particular author or pairing, please search for the appropriate string with your browser's Search function." Doesn't that sound like fun? Do yourself a favor and use the title or author listings -- the Monthly Indexes are scary.

Femme Fuh-Q Fest
Do we all know what a Fuh-Q fest is by now? Good. This one's f/f Treksmut.

Cardassia Sutra
A Garak/Bashir slash archive, for your reading pleasure.

The Brunching Shuttlecocks
A great site, and if you look for it, you'll spot the Net's first Enterprise slash fiction. Even if you're not an aficionado of the Star Trek universe, you should go read this one. And then you will go hunt down more and send me the urls. When I count to three you will wake up feeling calm, yet slashy, with an irresistible urge to smear yourself with emu oil and roll in the dust bunnies under the couch. One...two...

ASC Archive
The Official Alt Star Trek Creative Fiction Archive. Can we use alt and official in the same sentence? Of course we can -- we are Fandom, hear us roar. And whimper. And plead. And gasp longingly. Try to save the breathless sobbing for the really OTT h/c stuff.

Novel Expectations
Janeway and Seven fan fic. Plus message boards, reviews, episode summaries, and all the frills and furbelows of f/f fandom.

The Tom Paris Dorm
Het, slash, and gen. Bless their hard little hearts -- they fixed the problems experienced by non-IE users. It's attractive, easy to navigate, and they have over one-hundred twenty links to other Star Trek sites. A great resource.

Like My Father Before Me
An archive for Han/Luke and Obi-Wwan/Anakin fic. The only really interesting thing about this one is that it's best viewed in Firefox. The archivist hasn't updated since December, but it's an eFiction archive, so that may just mean nothing has crashed since then.

T.O.T.O.
The Ladies of Slash must hurt young Obi-Wan Kenobi. Really. Don't take my word for it, it says that, right on the site. And from that compulsion spring some very interesting stories. You know, I would have sworn I'd already listed this site. Oops, my bad. Must have been another link page. Well, anyway, it's here now. Enjoy it -- it's clean, easy to navigate, lovely to look at, and full of fun stuff. It's small, but choice.

qui-online.org
Home of the Qui-Gon Jinn discussion list, this site is a treasure chest of confused intent and wish-washy purpose. The 510 stories are suitable for all audiences... unless otherwise noted. But it's pretty, the links work, and yes, Virginia, there is slash here.

The Xanatos Estrogen Brigade
Fic, FanArt, extras. And I can't be the only one who thinks it's way past time to lay the whole Estrogen Brigade thing to rest, can I?

Bail Now!
The Bail Organa fan fiction archive. Het, gen and slash, but mostly slash. I came this close to putting it under rare slash, but I didn't want to have to write all the lengthy explanations that would entail.

Master and Apprentice Archive
Obi-whosit and Qui-whatsits fic. Slash, of course.

The Yoda Estrogen Brigade
I just love finding people who are as sick and twisted as I am -- makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over. This site is a... it's an... uh, words fail me -- Off shoot? Spinoff? Morbid growth? -- of the Sith Academy, which should be all the warning you need.

Elusive Lover
Han and Luke -- love among the light sabers. Bet that smarts.

The Darth Side
TPM and pre TPM 'meaningful erotica.' I like that, I think I'll say it again -- meeeeaningful erooootica.

The Sith Academy
Words won't do it justice, you'll just have to go see this one for yourself. This is where I go when the angst gets a bit too deep. I sincerely recommend that before opening this site you remove all beverages from the vicinity of the computer. Sitting on a towel wouldn't hurt either.

Darth Maul Estrogen Brigade
One of the largest collections of Darth Maul stories on the net. It's no longer the active fan site, but the archive is still there.

Darth Maul Estrogen Brigade 2
Version 2.0 is now open for business.

SWA-L Stars Wars Slash Archive
Definitive proof that an archive doesn't have to show style, personality, or an iota of fun. Maintaining this one would bore the crap out of me, but OTH, it's probably really easy to update, it does have lots of stories, and the stories are what we're here for, right?

The Qui-Gon Jinn Estrogen Brigade
I'm listing this one with reluctance; they've got some serious html problems happening, none of which are helped by the multiplicity of frames. Maybe the site is just dying of neglect -- it hasn't been updated since July 2002.

The X-Files

The Slash is out there...

But Skinner would never
do that,
and Mulder
and Krycek
are really just
good friends.
Aren't they,
Mistress Scully?

Walter Torture
An archive of stories that put Skinner through the wringer, be it physical, mental, or emotional. Stories are categorized as general, slash, erotica, humor, discipline, or miscellaneous. There are also links and a gallery.

Scully Slash Archive
Now this is an archive! It's attractive, it has easy to understand link titles, and the stories are organized by submission date (last 7 days, 30 days, 60 days), by pairing, by author, and by title. And the owner changed the web ring banners on the front page to simple html links, so it loads much faster now.

Author's Choice
X-Files slash writers pick their favorite stories. Wonderful idea for an archive, isn't it? Look in the Buffy and misc links sections for similar archives in BtVS and Andromeda.

The Cube
Do not miss this one -- even if, like me, you're only a fringe Xphile. The people behind the Cube have taken fandom from an interesting, if borderline bizarre obsession, to an artform.

In Our Humble Opinion
There are archives, and then there are... sites like this one. It takes more than collecting a bunch of stories on one site to make an archive -- that's why well trained librarians are so important to the survival of our society: all the information in the world can't help you if it's all thrown into one big, unlabeled pile. The stories here are listed alphabetically by author -- and that's it. For any more information -- all that nonessential stuff like pairing, or rating, or whether it's gen, het, or slash -- you have to click on the story link. It's extremely time consuming, and IMHO, it's irritating as hell.

TER/MA
Truly Erotic RatBoy slash Mulder Association. Actually contains four archives: RatB (mostly Mulder/Krycek plus crossovers), WArm thoughts (Skinner/Krycek), the author archive (old RatB), and The Agency (OaT archive). And all of them are terrific archives.

The Smiling Pectoral God
Gotta be Skinner. Nobody else in X-dom has pecs like those pecs.

XF/SM
Zen sent me this link. Does she know my buttons, or what? If you don't hear from me in a week, send help. Ooooh -- they've got a special category for threesomes! Make that two weeks.

Down in the Basement
Now hosting The M/K Romantics Association, Badfic: The X-Files Hall of Shame, Dana Scully's Slash Angels, and several other tasty X-Files sites. You can probably get anywhere worth going in X-Files fandom from here.

CharlieFic
I don't know this fandom well enough to know if the person who built this site is considered the pinnacle of wit, or if she's the idiot savant of X-Files fandom, but I can tell you that from outside the fandom looking in, this site is hysterical. It didn't just tickle my funny bone, it rolled it in honey and dumped fire ants on it.

SKSA
The Skinner/Krycek slash archive. Stories, art, and links.

The Slipper Archive
Slash Lite. X-Files slash rated PG-13 or lower.

Stop, Drop, and Porn
It's an lj community, it's due South, it's basically drabbles, and it's pure porn. Makes for a really short entry, doesn' t it? Let's see if I can flesh it out with anything we can pretend is important. Uh... the info page doesn't say anything about slash, het or gen, but they do salivate when they mention meaningless porn, so let's just rule out gen, shall we? They don't mention RPS, but that may be kind of like the archives that don't mention slash, even to say it's not welcome. Those archives are usually het and slash is icky and if they just refuse to think about the icky it'll slink away and hide in a corner and DIE so they can continue to pretend it doesn't exist and if it does exist in some fandom somewhere it has never existed in their fandom. Sorry -- turned left into an old rant for a minute. It has nothing to do with this community, which is happily enjoying all the porn it can write, which is always a good thing. I'm back now. For lack of any evidence to the contrary, let's assume for now that this community is FPS only. I'm sure someone will eventually correct me if it isn't.

The Due South Noticeboard
A community bulletin board for Due South fandom. If it's happening in the fandom, it's a good bet that it's been announced here: fic, fan art, rabid discussions on someone's LJ, news, etc.

lavender
An ezine-archive focused on the female characters of due South. Fic is gen and slash. It's not been updated since October 2004. The font and color choices make the main pages hard to read, but the story pages are easier on the eyes.

The Welsh Fan Fiction Archive
A very, very tiny archive of fics featuring Welsh. Fics are divided into gen and slash categories. You won't have trouble finding anything -- it's that tiny. The sound files are Quicktime files.

Racine Street
Primarily gen and het, but they welcome slash. Your main problem is going to be that the stories are arranged alphabetically by author, and that's it. Hey -- they fixed their code problems. Looks much better now --works better too.

White Wolf Website
Due South. The Diefenbaker fanfiction archive. I wandered around a bit -- OK, more than a bit -- and as far as I could tell, none of the stories actually slash Dief. Which is either a mild disappointment or a profound relief, depending on your pov and your particular kink. I wouldn't presume to judge. Nope, not me.

Red Ships and Green Ships
A multi-author site rather than a true archive, but it's interesting. Slash fic, and lots of fan art.

Serge Protector
It's the web version of the zine, and it requires Adobe Acrobat Reader. That's not a problem, really. Trust me -- you'd much rather use Acrobat for this: the site is blinding -- a light font on a blazing red-orange background. After a few seconds, the letters start to wiggle and squirm. And no, I haven't been drinking.

Fraser Torture
Exactly what it says -- an archive of Fraser torture fics. It contains ninety fics at the moment. Easy to read and understand story classifications -- het, gen, or slash, with the pairing, if applicable.

due Slash
Slash and pre-slash. No het. No gen. No smarm. No Sir.

The due South Fiction Archive
Otherwise known as Ex-wood. Exactly as advertised, with searchable listings.

Serge -- He got his man!
I'm guessing it's the suit, right? I'm getting the hang of this...that's really frightening.

MRKS.org
Not strictly an archive -- it's a multi-author site. Fifteen excellent authors, writing in multiple fandoms, but what they all have in common is Fraser/RayK. slash.

Speranza's Due South Stories
I know -- it's a single author site. I make an exception for the best of the best.

The Ultimate Xena Fan Fiction Directory
Another fascinating resource site sniffed out by mousehounde. Sorted by categories, easy to navigate -- and read -- and they've got Pop-up movies. Best of all -- timely updates.

The Royal Academy of Bards
Yeah, like Xena fandom needed yet another cool archive. What is it with this fandom? It's so greedy. Why don't some of these talented, hyperactive archivists get bored and wander over to PotC, or Lotrips, or some other fandom where they're desperately needed? Sigh -- fine. Easy to navigate, easy to read, the links work, and it's been recently updated. And I'm not bitter that it's not in one of my fandoms. Well, not much.

Do the Xena fans appreciate how incredibly lucky they are? So many of their archivists seem to be first degree anal-compulsives. Stop snickering -- it makes for great archives. Don't believe me? Take a look at this one. If I hadn't already been bitter about Xena fandom hogging all the really great archivists and site designers, I would be now. This isn't just an archive, it's an amazing fandom resource. Not only do they host stories, they have reviews and links to over 4800 Xena fanfics. Reviews are listed by focus, by genre, by author, by title (alternative and general), the Quick Search function actually works, and you can get rid of the white font on the dark blue background by clicking one little link -- instant black font/white background. And if that isn't enough, it's frequently updated. Go away now -- I need to be alone to wallow in my fandom jealousy.

The Bard's Corner
The fanfic section of the Australian Xena Information page, they describe themselves as 'subtext friendly'. OK, somebody check me here -- maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I've never noticed a lot of subtext in Xena. Text, yes -- up front, righteous, unashamed and not going to apologize to any-fucking-body, in your face text. That part I got. But subtext? What are they saying in the subtext? That Xena and Gaby aren't...? Naaaaah.

The Imperial Bath House
More Xena fic. No Joxer/Gabrielle or Xena/Ares pairings allowed. Presumably, there are people who care.
