Amen. I'm open to reading just about any pairing for the variety if nothing else, with the exception of some pairings that bring my brain to a screeching halt. Example, I got linked to an SGA fic one time and all I saw that it was Elizabeth/somebody, but within the first chapter when I realized that somebody was Kavanaugh, I honestly think I threw up in my mouth a little and I didn't even make it to the second paragraph without closing the window. Other than that... I've read so many things that society would think I probably shouldn't enjoy (but fuck you, society), I can't even remember anymore. All we need is something that's written well and has a good story and true characters. Like, check out drake_fic and look at her Mac/Sinclair story. Don't be put off by the pairing. You won't hate it, I swear. And that's what makes it good.

Matter of fact, I take it as a point of pride when I have people tell me they usually don't like Mac/Danny or like vampire!fic, but they still like my We Don't Die. Even though I'm the utter opposite of someone who'll brag about their own work (massive self-esteem issues here), I like to consider that the mark of a good story.

While I'm thinking about it, you have anything posted for me to read? You sound like you know the characters and I'm confident that you've made good friends with spellcheck, so link away.
