dearest all,

i can't for the life of me remember where this is, but it's definately a W/T.

It took place in the early 60s? Mid 60s? Willow goes to a gay bar, Xander is her friend and he's a cop. He's very wary of her safety as a result of her going to said gay bar. Willow meets Tara. Police raid the club.
...that's all I got.

Thoughts? Comments?

[writerfreak]

Thank you Smilis, that might have been it, but it didn't have all the details I remember. It's a great fic, and some parts are exactly what I was thinking, but I remember more Tara going to more than one therapy session. I loved it anyway regardless. Thank you so much for the recommendation at least. If anyone does know the one I'm talking about besides that, please let me know. Thank you so much!

Hey. That's Garland Days, but I don't think it's on this site. I sent you a PM.

[Zooeys_Bridge]

aah, yes thanks DB that's exactly it.

It's been driving me crazy for a few days now, I couldn't find it anywhere.

Much obliged

Hi sweetpeas,

I'm new and have been losing myself in all this W/T fanfic goodness. I've been lurking 'n looking for some fics that people have talked about that I can't seem to find. If anyone could help me with any of these, via PM or here, please do. I'd be brimming with geeker joy.

1. Final Exam - Tommo
2. As It Should Be
3. Camp Flutie (apparently the one here has stuff missing?)
4. A Night Remembered

Also, I don't know who lurks here, but I did want to say that I've especiallly enjoyed the works by blameburner (Into the Woods always bring a big smirk to my face) and Please by JustSkipIt (oh how I wish you'd continue with that series). Tons of others, too, but anyhow... I'm rambling. Thanks for this little community of fiction.

im looking for a fict called aldora its about willows and taras daughter

[narrativeflow]

Hiya, These are general questions, I'm new & not looking for a particular story, so if this is the wrong place to post these ?s, my apologies--please PM me & I'll delete & repost (or if you're a mod & move(d) it, let me know where it went?! ) Thanks.

So, I'm having a bit of a time trying to find my way around. It seems like
1) some fics are not here at all, but still (only) archived on the 'old' board: is that right?
2) some fics mentioned (for ex., in the Recommendation thread) aren't here for different, Unknown reasons (if so, and if hotlinks aren't allowed... uh, any suggestions on ht find them?) and
3) there are sub-boards which also have fanfic--but... I can't tell how/in what ways the ff is different: on account of subject, content, author or what. Um. ;%

Is there some thread that helps explains all this? I've read the FAQs & stickies but am still Not Getting It. (Like: is it just a matter of where an author posted first [on what board], in cases of a W/T that's recommended but isn't here--or is it to do with content? or does it just totally depend, on a case-by-case basis?)

Also: the Recommendation thread is a nice way to start looking around, but it's kinda brief, and closed now. Could it maybe be reopened, so it could reference stories that are more recent?

Finally... the various indexes seem a little scanty, relative to the amount of stories that are here: is there some other place I should be looking to figure out ht organize myself a bit...? For ex., if I find someone I like & want to check out the rest of their stuff, it's been hard for me to find a simple way to do that. Thanks a lot for any help or hints, & sorry if this was confusing to read: with, y'know, the confusion & all. Mine.

Hey, narrativeflow. Welcome to the Kitten.

I'll do my best to answer your questions.

1) some fics are not here at all, but still (only) archived on the 'old' board: is that right?

Archived fics are here at this board. When we moved here from ezboard, we made every effort to bring along absolutely every single fic thread. There were a few threads that didn't make the move very well and those were fixed manually. It's possible there are still some threads that didn't come over properly that no one has noticed, but if there are any, it must be very, very few. So, no, there shouldn't be fics at ezboard that are not also here. If you (or anyone else) comes across one, please don't hesitate to PM a mod and let us know about it.

2) some fics mentioned (for ex., in the Recommendation thread) aren't here for different, Unknown reasons (if so, and if hotlinks aren't allowed... uh, any suggestions on ht find them?)

It does happen from time to time that fics are removed from Pens and/or from the archives. Sometimes this is for FAQ issues and sometimes it is the result of a request from the author. Whatever the reason, if a fic is no longer on the board, we won't be able to help you find it. This thread and the recommendation thread are both for fics that are on Pens or in our archives, not for fics that are posted at other sites. For fics posted elsewhere, I can only suggest Google. (The only exception I'm aware of is Lisa Countryman's fics. Because her chapters were so very long, they were always at her website with only a link to her site posted in her threads here. I do not know the status of her fics or her site. Many Kittens have posted asking about her last unfinished fic and no one seems to know anything about it.)

3) there are sub-boards which also have fanfic--but... I can't tell how/in what ways the ff is different: on account of subject, content, author or what.

Fics are in three places. We have Pens for active fics, the Completed Fics Archive for completed fics, and the the Pens Archive for unfinished fics. In order to keep the archive from being huuuuuge, each of the archives is in two parts by author name. There are no categories for subject or content or rating or anything like that. Originally, the first post in each of the 4 archive forums was an author index, but this has been in disrepair for some time and, as it is extremely time-consuming to fix, I doubt it will be repaired soon. When I need to find a fic by a particular author, I just do a Ctrl F on each page. This is cumbersome on Pens, but the archive forums are all five pages or less, so it's pretty easy to find a fic there if you know the author's name or a word in the title.

If you are looking for a fic based on some aspect of the plot or subject matter, this thread is the best place to ask about it.

Is there some thread that helps explains all this? I've read the FAQs & stickies but am still Not Getting It. (Like: is it just a matter of where an author posted first [on what board], in cases of a W/T that's recommended but isn't here--or is it to do with content? or does it just totally depend, on a case-by-case basis?)

All fics are posted first on Pens. As they are finished, they are moved to the Completed Fics Archives. Fics that sit on Pens for an extremely long time with no updates will eventually be moved to the Pens Archive for unfinished fics. All the fics in the recommendation thread should be here. I am not entirely certain what exactly you're asking, so if I haven't answered it, please don't hesitate to ask again.

Also: the Recommendation thread is a nice way to start looking around, but it's kinda brief, and closed now. Could it maybe be reopened, so it could reference stories that are more recent?

The Pens Recommendation Thread has recommendations for about 40 fics. It is not closed and has never been closed since it was started. It's open to anyone who would like to recommend a more recent fic. But only completed fics can be recommended in that thread. If you are looking for recent completed fics that have not been posted about in the recommendation thread, you should check out the first pages of each of the Completed Fics Archives.

Finally... the various indexes seem a little scanty, relative to the amount of stories that are here: is there some other place I should be looking to figure out ht organize myself a bit...? For ex., if I find someone I like & want to check out the rest of their stuff, it's been hard for me to find a simple way to do that.

Are you talking about the author index posts in the archives? Yes, those posts are messed up and useless. But only the archives had posts like that (Pens does not have any author index or any other type of index). There are about as many fics on Pens as there are in all the archives.

Fic authors writing a series usually post links to the other parts of the series either in the first or last posts in their fic threads. For authors who do not do that, I would recommend using Ctrl F to find for the author's name on Pens and/or in each of the archives. While a bit cumbersome, yes, that should return every fic thread the author has and that is probably the easiest way to be certain you have found them all. Another option is to post here in this thread asking others to suggest more fics by an author or fics with similar themes or subject matter or whatever it is you're looking for.

As a general guide for discovering fics, I'd always suggest starting with the recommendation thread. Perhaps then the completed fics archive or, if you want to read fics that are ongoing, the first couple pages of Pens will probably have the most regularly-updated fics. A thread with a ton of posts and views is, at the very least, a popular fic and also probably a pretty good one. We do have many, many excellent authors.

I hope I've been able to clear some things up, but please don't hesitate to post again if you have further questions. Welcome again and happy reading!

[narrativeflow]

Hey Maudmac, thanks so much for taking the time to make such a thorough response! I think you've covered everything, so that's me off to sort it, then I'll go hike the wilderness with these new maps. Many thanks again, that was very clear & helpful.

[narrativeflow]

Rutroh, I spoke too soon! 1 more ?: if someone's posted a story but is listed as a Guest... does that mean they're gone from here now or... what?? Thanks again!

[maudmac]

You're welcome. That's what we're here for!

Yes, when threads show the author as "Guest" that means they probably had already stopped posting by the time we left ezboard and so they didn't make the move with us. It is possible they are still around, but they aren't using the same username as they used on ezboard, so unless you just happen to know them, there wouldn't be any way to locate them.

Hello fine people,

Does anyone know if there was any more to the story, A Fluke Between Two Wiccans, by Spikeme4now? I have read up to 6c and ... ohmygod... it just stops and it was such a hot and amazing fic. Anyone have dibs on finished chapters. I see nothing with a Google search, but ... I wish at least I could thank the writer for that wowzer of a story.

Any help? I would totally appreciate it.

Thhhhhanks.
Kat

[ceridwen]

Hello

writerfreak i sent you a PM with a couple links to Shades of Grey also.

And katjetson, as far as i know, 6c is the last chapter, sadly.

[katjetson]

Hi ceri, thanks for the reply. That really is too bad. It is such a well-crafted fic.

Also, if anyone is interested... I know lots are bummed Extra Flamey material is lost, but you know, if you go to waybackmachine[dot]org, you can get snapshots of the page and find lost fics. Pretty neat.

Hello.

Can anyone tell me the name of a fic... Willow was hit by a car while waiting for Oz to show up (he never did). Tara helped her and ended up going to her house a bunch -- bringing her muffins. It was a pretty great story and I'm really looking forward to reading it again.

Thanks.
Kat

[dlline]

Hey Kat!

That would be Spark to a Flame by Auburn. It's in Pens.

Hope that helps.
Diane

[katjetson]

Yay!

My her-o.

im looking for a fict called aldora its about willows and taras daughter

[ceridwen]

Hey cammy, im sorry to disappoint you, but i dont think the fic you're looking for is on this site... i did a search and couldnt find it, i even googled it, and nothing.

Actually, i've never even heard of it before, but maybe you could PM a mod, and they could tell you for sure if its in here or not.

Hope you can find it.

Cheers

[PeaceFVR]

Hiya people..

I read this story a few months ago, it's about Willow getting attacked in an alley because she's gay, and Tara saves her. Later the gang find out that the group that attacked her is a bunch of weird shape-shifting people. I think Donnie was one of them and got trapped in a jar as a bug..

Anyway, anyone read this before?
I can't find it, and it's driving me crazy
Thanks~~~~

[em317]

Can Anyone Help Me?
