Have you ever...

...had a story that you liked, but didn't get any reactions to?

Well, for the Due South Seekrit Santa, I did a crossover of Due South and Doctor Who.

And I did get a few comments on it at the beginning, before the writer's were revealed. but none since.

So, it it just because, as Nicci says, that I have too eclectic a taste in fanfic? Or because I only linked to it from my own journal back then?

Yes, before you ask, I'm slightly tipsy.

Oh, have an image of Gareth



*falls off chair*

Sorry, had a bit too much.

Sorry, did you say something, I was too busy chewing on Gareth's wristband

I've been kind of sick as a dog since before the holidays, so totally missed this. (Have just now read and OMG love!).

Also, I can say the same thing about my Hitchhiker's Guide/DS crossover I wrote for my DSSS. (That it didn't get much response, I mean.)

Was that for this year? I feel slightly brain dead, because I don't seem to remember seeing that. I'd have read it *pouts*

And I'm glad you enjoyed it *g*

What I should have said, is, that happens to me quite a bit. Part of it is the curse of small fandom crossovers, and part of it is, I suspect, the way I often go under the radar a bit. (Anyway, here's a link to my repost, if you're interested.)

*laughs*
Yeah, I thought I already had, but I seem to have missed one or two. Possibly, I just got lost in the new archive. I'm sure I'll get used to it... eventually *g*

Yes, I've definitely had that happen. Sometimes it seemed to be that fewer people were online, or that maybe there was a big kerfluffle going on in fandom & everyone was engaged elsewhere. Or it's an unpopular pairing, or a less appealing subject.

But it always left me feeling bemused, because I couldn't really tell if it was because the fic genuinely was lacking, or if it was primarily due to outside circumstances.

*nods*

I'll be the first one to admit that there aren't that many Doctor Who fans among the Due South fans and the story isn't that much fun unless you know Ten and Donna too LOL

He so is XD -- I love how Gareth looks lightyears differently from Ianto.

The story was Close Encounters of the 4th Kind (http://ximeria.popullus.net/fanfic/ds-encounters.php)

Oh I remember when that picture was first posted :D I think it was posted for an AfterElton interview he did

[identity profile] ximeria.livejournal.com 2009-02-08 11:40 am (UTC)(link)
I think so too. I had it on the hardddrive, but I seem to recall it was from AfterElton. He's rediculously cute in it XD
