Speaking of AU's, did I ever send you my novella, or did you buy 'Off the Record' in the end (because it's in that one)?
I did indeed purchase "Off the Record" -- I love all of Annie's zines, and buy them as soon as they come out (thanks for pointing me her way, lo those many moons ago). I am sorry, as I thought I'd already told you how much I enjoyed your story (but knowing what a disorganized flake I am, I probably got distracted by something bright and shiny, despite my best intentions). I always enjoy your SG writing very much, but I thought this was a real departure; it was a very different idea, a nice twist on canon, and yet very true to our Jack and Daniel. (I also thought it stood out from the rest of the stories in the zine, frankly.) I thought you did a nice job of depicting a Jack and Daniel recognizably of that era, and yet still with the character traits of our guys; and I thought the emotional intensity between them was quite compelling. Very well done.
And I'm with you on avoiding live shows. Give me a dead show any day.
