Don't you hate those random, desperate desires to read new fic about a pairing that hasn't been canonically viable for more than ten years, the last fanfic about which was probably written at least a year ago? You search around the internet, LJSeek, Icerocket, fanfiction.net and Google groups, but it's all stuff you've read before, and eventually you end up opening your fic folder for that fandom or pairing, and wondering if maybe there's something in there that's decent which you'd forgotten you'd written, and perhaps with some additional text and polishing it could be posted, creating a renaissance of interest in the pairing, except, oh wait, you wrote everything in that folder when you were fifteen and it's just too depressing to even read past the first paragraph in any of those documents...
This has been my morning.
Uh, anyone have any Bashir/Jadzia Dax recs?

Sometimes you can find hidden gems that way -- if a good writer has done a lot of other works (maybe Janeway/Chakotay?) and has a few fics listed under other.

Well, I have a ton stored away in my memory...want a list, with links if I can find them? To be honest, it's probably something I should do anyway for my own self...

That's a possibility. (Can I rant about the fact that the ASC archive doesn't have an an index by author? You have to find a story by the person you want and then go to their profile from that. Drives me crazy!) Although I've given half-hearted attempts at that kind of thing before, only to find that if anyone liked a DS9 relationship, it was inevitably either Kira/Odo or Bashir/Garak. *sigh*

Date: 2008-03-31 02:45 am (UTC)Alas, I have every episode that would in any way satisfy my yen on tape already. And I watched them enough in high school to still have pieces of dialog memorized, so, uh, yeah. I don't really need to actually watch the tapes at this point...
(I obviously had a lot more time on my hands when I was a teenager than I thought at the time...)
