*SLASH FICTION FOR ALL TASTES*

WARNING

THIS WEBSITE EXCLUSIVELY HOUSES WRITINGS
ON THE PRIMARY THEME OF MALE/MALE ROMANCE.


I'm not going to argue about it;
the world is a grown-up place where guys can marry other guys and
if you don't like it find another website.  (Or another world.)
If you are too young, or just too biased, to read stories which consider relationships between men
as having equal validity with traditional marriages, you should simply not be here. 
Go and pester someone else.


AUTUMN 2007


Welcome to this - seriously late - update. It is now 300 days since I last updated this site and I would like to start by apologising most profusely to Elise Lassiter and Chris Quinton; I have had stories from each of them sitting in my file for far too long in the vague hope that I might have a story of my own to add to the site at the same time. Unfortunately, despite a great many attempts, nothing has really taken root since HIERARCHY OF NEEDS, and I'm beginning to wonder whether I've hit a brick wall. It's just as well that I can number Elise and Chris among my personal friends; they've been very understanding of the reasons for this delay, but that doesn't make me feel any happier about it.

Elise's Apprentice (Happy Days) is a little out of the ordinary even for this website. Both innocent and sensuous, it features an unusual rite of passage in which Richie Cunningham is introduced to sex and love - and the difference between the two. Chris's Fool's Oath (Uncovered/Breed crossover part deux) is the sequel to Fool's Gold and is, I believe, the second part of an intended trilogy taking the intriguing story of Max and Aaron still further into uncharted territory.

Other changes include a flashy new background, courtesy of my offspring, and a 'QWERTY keyboard' instead of an alphabetical 'keypad' for navigation. If you find the latter incredibly annoying I hope you'll let me know; I'd be happy to change it back if necessary. Also I've removed the webring links, most of which were moribund anyway. I apologise to the webring maintainers if their rings are still active, but in the end I decided to opt out. Further, I've made minor alterations to the Recs page; I haven't read anything new in ages so there's not a lot to report I'm afraid, but I'm much obliged to a couple of people who have reported changes or errors.

We clocked up our 50,000th hit on the website at the end of February - if that was you, thank you! - and all unnoticed THE ANDROID'S DUNGEON passed its sixth birthday in October. For a smallish site we are well supported, and I would like everybody to know how much I appreciate the continued pleasure of your company.

I can't be too optimistic about future updates. I would like to be writing something new and there are indeed occasional flashes of ideas, but they rarely reach even the initial planning stages. I'm hoping this will only be a temporary condition - but then I'm also hoping to win the lottery and maybe lose about 25 kg, and I wouldn't want to bet my life on the success of any one of these apparently forlorn ambitions. The next definite update will be in January 2009, DV&WP, when I intend to post the full text of HIERARCHY OF NEEDS, but I am still hoping against hope to be able to produce at least something before then. All I can suggest is that you keep checking back with me to see whether or not I've managed it!

So, until the next time … whenever that may be …

PS! Deckchairs-on-the-Titanic update! After uploading the site recently I suddenly decided on a complete makeover with new colours and a less insipid background scheme. I have no explanation; put it down to the freak of a capricious nature.

AN IDIOTS GUIDE TO THE "GOD OF GAMBLERS" MOVIES
This is one of the most obscure fandoms I've written anything in, and it's the only one so far for which I've felt obliged to provide anything resembling 'Study Notes'. If you're not familiar with the films and would like to read the story, you may find these helpful. On the other hand, they may make you even more confused!



CHALLENGES
Yet again I feel the need to express my feelings on a subject of concern to no-one but me. This time it's that scourge of the fannish universe, the story challenge.



CHARLES HEUNG MOVIES
On the subject of the obscure, here's a fairly comprehensive resumé of Mr Heung's short and unspectacular career as an actor; he was never really a leading player in that sense, reserving his greatest achievements for executive production and management roles.



CHOW YUN-FAT MOVIES
Since Crouching Whatsit, Hidden Thingy and Bulletproof Punk everyone knows the name of Chow Yun-Fat. However I happen to believe that, apart from Anna And The King, most of his best work was done in his Hong Kong days. If you're prepared to brave a Cantonese soundtrack, these films are well worth a look!



EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE ANDROID'S DUNGEON BUT WERE AFRAID TO ASK
Some utterly trivial information about this website, why it exists, who runs it, and how it works.



LITTLE TIN GODS
Sometimes there are things that get on your nerves so much you just have to express an opinion or burst at the seams. This piece and my musings on the subject of MALE PREGNANCY fall into that genre.



MALE PREGNANCY
As with CHALLENGES and LITTLE TIN GODS, this is just me letting off steam over something that seems to me not only inexplicable but also contradictory.



RECOMMENDATIONS
On a more positive note this is my opportunity to draw to your attention sites and stories I have enjoyed, in the hope that you might do so too.



THIS ANDROID
For the terminally curious, some almost reliable data about the android that created this website.



TOP 12: SOME FAVOURITE (SLASH, OF COURSE!) FICTION
I admit it, I was trying for a Top 10 but I just couldn't narrow the list down any further!



WHAT ISN'T SLASH
Have you ever noticed how much easier it is to define what a thing isn't than what it is? This is my attempt to clarify the criteria by which I judge a piece of slash fiction, and the standards I attempt to apply to my own work.



WISH LIST
Pretty self-explanatory really. Despite hours and hours of trawling the Net, I still haven't managed to find fiction for some couples who absolutely scream slash from the screen! Maybe this will inspire you (or someone you know) to do something about it!

RECOMMENDATIONS

I'm sorry to say that many of the sites I originally recommended have disappeared. This is particularly distressing in the case of The Champagne Glass and Cobwebs From The Attic Of The Mind, although I'll also miss The Officers' Club, The Big Block of Cheese and Elizabeth Stuart's Page.

THE
SENTINEL

Some of the best writing in this genre is by Lemon Drop, who is also quercus (see below). 'Tempus Fugit' has one of the loveliest first kiss scenes you'll find anywhere, and I like the ingenuity of 'Cloud Mountain' too. Find quercus/ Lemon Drop's home page here. I'm indebted to AnimeJen for advising me that the Sentinel archive at 852 PROSPECT is once again available. I don't know whether it's moved or whether my browser was at fault; whatever, you can find a whole range of Jim/Blair fic there. I like Dasha's 'Dorset County' series and XFreak's no-holds-barred rocks-off smut which I recommend if you can find them. Also anything by Francesca would be worth a look.

STARGATE
SG-1

Fortunately the Stargate archives seem to have all the longevity of the series itself; the amount of good slash fiction available in this particular universe (and I'm talking Jack/Daniel here) is quite mind-boggling. The place to start is AREA 52: THE HKH STANDARD. Another excellent source is THE COMFORT ZONE, and there is also a goldmine of stuff accessible from the J D DIVAS home page. Individual stories I would recommend are Biblio's 'A Quiet Victory' (access via JD DIVAS) and Xochiquetzl's 'I Never' (access via Area 52). Also just about anything by quercus (access her home page) but particularly 'Only Love Survives'. Everything by these authors is well worth reading, however; these stories are just my favourites.

MULTI
MEDIA

For those like me with a butterfly mind, these archives cover a multitude of subjects: BRITSLASH is the place to go for slash fiction by British writers and for some smaller fandoms you may not have thought of. However the site has not been updated in some time. KITTY'S HOUSE OF PLEASURE AND PAIN explores the darker side of slash fiction. 'Through Smoke and Mirrors' is an all-time great (and is now, to my delight, also available on this website) but I also loved the 'Blood Price' series even though I'm not familiar with the show it's based on.

THE
WEST
WING

If you can find them anywhere, you might enjoy 'You and Me in a Rowboat to Rio' by Punk and Sabine, and 'Hurricane' by L Bright. Also try Ellen and Luna's 'You and Me of the 10,000 Wars' although it's a bit light on actual slash action. These are all Josh/Sam. Priya Denorain's 'Watching the Sun Rise from the Back of a Truck' is my favourite Jed/Leo, although I don't believe a word of it! The strongest recommendation I can give for any piece of fiction in this universe (other than HIERARCHY OF NEEDS of course!) is L Bright's awesomely stunning Civil War AU 'By My Cry'.

MISCELLANEOUS

TALIESIN'S REACH would be a great place to start; Taliesin has paid this website the massive compliment of 'adopting' Ryan Caldwell and writing her own Air Force One saga entitled 'Give A Mouse A Cookie' which I can thoroughly recommend. The whole site has recently been re-vamped, to good effect. Professionals fans can find plenty of reading matter at THE HATSTAND ARCHIVE, which aims to be a comprehensive collection of the voluminous slash fiction available in that universe. ITHILAS.COM undoubtedly has the best Tolkein slash; I'd recommend 'The Folly of Starlight' (Elrond/Legolas) without reserve, and a friend of mine speaks highly of the 'Rolling Thunder' Aragorn/Boromir AU which is to be found on the same website. If Aragorn/Boromir is your thing, you can also find it at FELLOWSHIP accompanied by some of the most delectable artwork on the Net. I'm delighted to be able to renew my recommendation of Kylie Lee's 'Acceptable Risk' Star Trek: Enterprise (Tucker/Reed) series which is now available again on the author's own site. Any Highlander aficionadoes who want more of Chris Power's fiction would do well to check out this site where the rest of her stories in that genre are archived. And, finally, if you fancy a walk on the wild side, you might like to tiptoe through the works of Kelandris and Ren on the JAY AND SILENT BOB SLASH, TRUE LOVE 'N' SHIT archive. Jay and Bob are an acquired taste by anybody's standards, but once you're hooked these writers will reel you in!

HIERARCHY OF NEEDS

A VARIATION ON A "WEST WING" THEME
Josh Lyman/Matt Santos

by FIONA PICKLES

It's late 2003, Josh is in disgrace for 'losing' a Democratic Senator, and suddenly nobody even wants to know his name. That's why he's suspicious at first when someone new walks into his life, apparently with every intention of staying.

Josh believes that anybody who looks too good to be true probably is, so he isn't in any hurry to trust the charming Congressman Matt Santos - until, that is, an unexpected facet of the man's character is suddenly made clear to him.

But nothing worth having is ever that easy, and when his own desires come into conflict with the needs of his country Josh has to get his priorities in order and make a decision that could alter the future of the world.

HIERARCHY OF NEEDS re-examines the history of Josh Lyman and Matt Santos between the episodes 'Disaster Relief' and 'Tomorrow', setting the growing intimacy of their personal relationship against a background of dramatic national and international events.
