01:32 am: Kelly's Great Link Hunt of 2007
My computer died.  It died a horrible, file eating death.  It's death took everything with it.  The things I do have saved to floppy (yes, I still used my floppy disks; wish I still could) are gone.  The cheapest computer that met the standards I set didn't have a floppy drive and I didn't have the money for extra stuff that, according to the little twerp helping me, was "old and out dated *insert snooty voice here*".   I'm thanking God most of the stuff I did have saved I also printed out or based off my scribbles in my notebooks and composition books.  What's really lost are all my random idea and research documents, you know, those things that are like seventy five pages long per story and full of odd scenes that struck while I was working on the main story and bits of research I did while surfing the net.  I'm already working on recreating that from memory.  Some of it, anyway.  The research and character note files for each story are going to be a pain the recreate and some characters are probably going to have slight personality shifts because of that.  I never bothered to print all those out and kept those only on the 'puter so I didn't have to keep track of yet another disk.

But what I really need help with are my links.  I had this giant collection of links to sites I used for research when I was writing, random prompt generators, reference sites, everything.  I also had a huge collection of fic links.  So, if you have a favorite site you enjoy using for research or an author you like or favorite fics in the FF VIII, FFX, Firefly, Highlander, Harry Potter, Buffy/Angel, Law & Order, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Gundam Wing, Stargate, or crossovers involving at least one of those, maybe you could recommend one.  Please.  Pretty please with chocolate dipped biscotti on top?  I wish I could remember author names, but *shrugs* I'm drawing a complete blank on a number of them.  And the ones I do remember, I've already hunted them down.

Please?

If you're a Harry Potter fan in need of a funny, I have to recommend Once Upon a Freakin' Time.  It's keeping me sane with its funny as I put everything back together.

*hugs* Ye gods, that completely and totally sucks. I remember when my last computer died and I lost all the RP logs I'd done with a friend of mine, along with a lot of other stuff, 'cause I didn't save them on disk... I'm still unhappy about that. While I can't help you with the research sites, I *can* help you with fics. Let's see...

FFVIII: Title Pending (author), scribblemoose (author), Imperfect Tense (a FFVII/FVIII x-over fic)

Harry Potter: loralee1 (author), lembas7 (author, has lots of HP/Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe x-overs, and a few SG1/Supernatural x-overs, all are very good), Aurilia (author), Realizations (HP fic), An Aunt's Love (HP fic), Redemption (HP fic), Corwalch (author)

Buffy/Angel: Trick or Treat (Buffy/SG1 x-over), Bridges (Buffy/SG1 x-over), Carving Out a Future (Buffy/Firefly x-over), Not All Monsters are Demons (Buffy/Law&Order SVU x-over)

Naruto: Walking Corpse (fic), Hidden Village (archive, lots of good stuff there), The Reflection of Oneself (fic), The Way of the Apartment Manager (fic)

YYH: Solitude of a Falling Star (archive), Mistress 259 (author)

Inuyasha: The Fanfic Vault of Macx and Lara Bee (author)

GW: GW Addiction (archive, lots of good authors), a little piece of gundam wing (archive and recs site), the turnip patch (author), shinigami & wing (archive), Calic0cat's fics (archive, also has HP fics. Make sure to read Calic0cat's stuff!)

Stargate: A Road Not Taken (fic)

X-overs: Vathara (author, the Queen of X-overs. Fandoms include Gargoyles, Ghostbusters, SG1, Airwolf, Godzilla the Series, Gundam Wing, Buffy, Runouni Kenshin, and some others I'm probably forgetting. Read *all* her stuff, it's amazing.)

Rec sites: Rec-readational (a *huge* list of fanfic recs by Aishuu, so you should be able to find some stuff from fandoms I don't read, like Highlander)

Enjoy! And I hope everything works out for you.

Oh God, thank you!!!!!

And you have Walking Corpse! That's one of my all time favorite Naruto fics! I couldn't remember the name exactly and my searches kept coming up with nadda. And An Aunt's Love and Vathara, who wrote the most wonderful Gundam Wing/Stargate crossover ever! And...Title Pending!

*hugs* Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Links

I don't know if you have any of these, but here's my list:
Authors:
Vathara (urban legends series, SG crossover)
Hoshi-tachi (harry potter crossovers)
Lomonaaeren (HarryDraco romances, wide range of genres)
esama (auburn Fire, HP, and a Sasuke time travel story)
Jedi Buttercup (lots of Buffy and harry potter)
Stories:
Back Again, Harry? and Special Delivery by Jedi Buttercup (DH compliant time travel chaptered and Stargate/Dresden one shot)
Flip Flop and Fly by The Red Dragons Order (/interesting/ take on Itachi, comedy)
Tomb of the Unknowns by Sophia Prester (introspective Buffy oneshot)
A Thousand Words by Ashen Skies (2x5, psychological and well written)
Better Be Slytherin! by jharad17 (borderline, but good characterization, and the voices are distinct)
Operation P and Triad by Heliotropic (short plot summeries: Iruka writes porn in OP, and Naruto ends up Kage of sound. Pure, high grade crack fics)
Qye by Shades (read prequel first, but very creative HarryVampire pairing)

Hope this helps some.

Triad! You found Triad! I was going nuts over that this morning. The Red Dragons Order wrote my favorite FF/HP cross. I couldn't find it because I couldn't remember the author's exact name and it's one of the bunnies in the bunny fic and I couldn't remember the name of that either. *sighs happily*

Thank you! Oh God, thank you!

Jedi Buttercup! *squees*

Don't know if this'll help but...

I was devastated to hear news of your computers death. Mostly for (shamefully) selfish reasons. Much luck in your recovery efforts.

Anyway, you might already know this but fictionalley has a whatchamacallit...community or something that's just a list of HP crossovers...they might be the most comprehensive list of HP crossovers...as far as I know.

So! here's the link, hope it's of some use to you. Much luck once again.

*reads fic lists* Holy cow!

You realize I'm not going to come up for years now, right? Crossovers are my weakness and there are so many to choose from that I've never seen before.

Thank you!

Naruto link

Um I'm not sure if this is the information your looking for, but have you tried

www.leafninja.com for information on Naruto? It's where I'm going for research for my fic, lol... so I find it very helpful. I hope you do too.

Later!
