Well, I'm well and truly on my way down the well LOL or the rabbit hole, your choice. I've been reading DS for a while now and I seem to be coming to an end as to 'good' stories. So, suggestions? *g* -- so far I've gone through cesperanza's stories, the stories @ mrks and a few on the DSA archive -- but I know there are probably a lot of really great stories out there that I haven't come across.

Mmmm and um... what is it with calling Kowalski 'Stan'? It derails my reading when people do that. He's Ray. Ray Vecchio is Ray too, but where I have no trouble keeping Ray and Ray apart, I REALLY get derailed when people call Kowalski 'Stan'. I know his name is Stanley, but he prefers to go by 'Ray'... Damn it's confusing to read LOL

Btw, as much as I adore Vecchio, I've leaned that in slash, I prefer the Fraser/Kowalski pairing. Like I said, I like Vecchio, but I seem to have fallen head over heels for Kowalski LOL -- must be the hair and the insane amount of energy. Oh and the coffee and smarties/m&m thing.

::reminds herself to buy some smarties next time she hits the store::

Btw, is the slash virtual season of DS worth reading?

Isn't is strange to be starting up in a "dead" fandom? I'm watching Forever Knight now, and want fic. I saw some of it the first time around, but not much of the beginning, so some of this is new to me. I'm holding off on fic for a while though, I want to get more of the history first.

I like both Rays, but I think one reason most slashers go for Ray K. is there's just more there to play with. Paul Gross had heard about slash, and though it would be amusing to put in some slash bait. It shows. And we love him for it. :)

Oh yeah LOL -- I adore PG, absolutely. I do prefer RayK too if it's for a pairing with Fraser, but what annoyed me a bit is that some writers call RayK 'Stan' it completely pulls me out of the story LOL

And yes, hurrah for dead fandoms LOL. Seriously. I got into Sentinel a little while back and now DS. And I've only been reading recced fic, while I'm catching up on the episodes. I nearly killed my entry into Stargate because I read EVERYTHING I could get my hands on. A lot of it sucked as much as black holes do *eg* -- odd that I actually stayed because some of that fic is seriously bad enough to scare away anyone *g*

Oooh, and have fun with the FK fandom. I think the more current tv shows suck, the more we want the 'good old' stuff ^_~

I guess I'm "rediscovering" fandoms more than anything. I watched Sentinel and DS when they first aired, but I wasn't really into fanfic at the time -- I was in and out of it there for a while. Now that I'm "in" again, I want to go back and find fic. I've even started watching a few shows thanks to fic.

Thank heavens for DVDs. I think that has been such a boon for find "new" old fandoms, or just revisting "comfort" fandoms. :)

I lost my collection of really good, long DS fics when my last laptop died on me, but I've found a few to rec for you:

True North (http://crys.mrks.org/fic/tn/truenorth.html) by Crysothemis is just one of the best stories out there - long and unputdownable.

Being Benton Fraser (http://home.comcast.net/~fauxpaws/BeingBentonFraser.html) by

theodosia is a amazingly in-character, funny body swop fic.

And there is a huge collection of DS recs here (http://beth-h.mrks.org/Recs.html#3), the first section are all Fraser/RayK - I don't know many of the stories but judging by the authors' names they'll be good.

Ahhhh, thank you kindly. I'm glad you gals are helping out ^_^ I'd be lost without ya

Does Due South air any more on any station? Is it out on DVD? I just know I could get sucked into this fandom if I could watch a few episodes again. It seems like I only watched 1 or 2 when it was on the air.

Seasons 1-3 are out on DVD so I'm currently downloading as I'm searching for a way to order season 3 at an okay price. It's only distributed in Canada. So far the prices have been a bit high for my liking. Season 4 is rumoured to be released sometimes early 2005, but who knows?

I used to watch DS waybackwhen. One of my friends had the hots for (and I quote) 'that damn fine Mountie and boy couldn't I let him demonstrate'. How could I *not* watch the show then? There were videos available for hire at the video store which is how I got up to speed with the show.

I haven't seen it for maybe 8 years or so now. Time to go hunting for DVDs or videos again. *g*

::laughs::
yeah -- at least the first three seasons are out on DVD, although they're only distributed from Canada, thankfully there ARE ways of of getting them *g* -- and yes, the Mountie's damn fine to look at, but for some odd reason he's just a tad bit too perfect looking for my taste -- though seeing him through Kowalski's eyes help -- at that point I REALLY wanna mess up that always-perfect-hair LOL
