That's one of Rory's isn't it? Just read anything from her! Although one word of warning, she does seem to write mostly slash.

Yes it is one of Rory's. I hadn't realised she also archived it on Gatchafanfic. I personally don't have any problems with slash (I write it myself and am rather fond of the Ken/Joe pairing). Rory's writing is really good - if you get over the slash and take it as a love story, then youll really enjoy it.

This is a favorite of mine - Phase III by Ninja Sam. I think that the only place it's archived is at Bird Go. You can read it at: Phase III by Ninja Sam This is a lovely piece of Mark/Princess erotica - much in the sense of TJ's "Forbidden Fruit". Unfortunately there is nowhere to review

Oh man ... Thanks for reminding me about that one, Maddy. Phase III has always been one of my most favourite fics. Actually NinjaSam is one of my absolute favourite writers. She is like you in having no fear and no inhibitions in writing. She's so gloriously technically perfect, yet raw and passionate all at the same time. I loathe the whole yaoi thing, personally. I feel absolute distate over the massive warp on characters and the apparent need to have Joe force him self upon Ken (and vice versa) to get the story going... But, she is one of the miniscule few Yaoi writers who makes it readable to me... She does it right.. I miss her stuff muchly ... does she still write? SJ

Oh, and Mads ... is there room at AFF.net for BotP smut? I have a few unposted ones that I wouldn't mind sharing... I've had a browse around over there, but don't see a spot for the BotP world.. SJ

Nothing wrong with a well-written slash/yoai story. I do find Ken/Joe easier to take than Mark/Jason (just can't read that pairing for some reason). And now for a fic rec: Go read and review Green's "Cookies" at gatchfanfic. Just make sure to have lots of snack food at hand.

Amethyst I'm like you. Ken/Joe seems to work where Mark/Jason just doesn't (unless you have a Swan in the mix as well). I am not a fan of the forced yaoi - after all, that's just rape - but I do love a "sweet" yaoi - and I suppose that's the romantic in me. SJ - I post BotP stuff in AFF.nt under the Gatchaman category and just put a note that it is BotP in the desription. Most of the others who post there as well do that. It's an older anime, so it's really onlyl we "older" writers who write about it. Youll see that it's a fairly small category anyway - the Gatchaman category is only a few years old and for a long while only Emby Qujinn's stuff was there. Sam still writes - but mostly Thunderbirds fic. But she is a lovely writer and I think that Phase III is one of her best! But yeh - she writes some hot smut!!

Maddy, force or rape usually isn't romantic or erotic in either het or slash fiction. However there are stories that break that rule Lori MacDonald's "Beer Night", part of the Reason to Live series is one. http://www.gatchfanfic.com/viewseries.php?seriesid=37 And this story in the Harry Potter fandom is the story that got me hooked on fanfiction (and it is a rape fic): Hinge of Fate by Ramos http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1024910/1/Hinge_of_Fate

You're right about Beer Night - another favorite of mine. I think what really redeems it is that there are hints during the fic that Joe knows what is going on - and then there is that wonderful last line "Next time, ask."

And Ken's conscience, too. The fact that he shows his guilt and remorse is totally in-character for him, but not typical of most rapists. BTW -- I'm really looking forward to the possible M/P/J in Generations.

Thanks Amethyst! Of course, this is the fic that I'm trying to deny is my work...

Don't deny! It made me want some of those cookies and I'm allergic to pot, or at least the smoke from it (kind of makes one afraid to try anything else). Plus it was funny as hell. I loved paranoid Ken!

I'm not admitting to anything that I may have done in my youth, but it's been my experience that Ken would be just the type to get paranoid! Sad to say, in this situation, I would be a Swan... I'm not admitting to anything, understand?

I loved "Cookies" Green! Giggled my way through it *sigh* my one and only time I was completely off my head was in about 1986 at a work christmas party (it wasn't called "The Swill" for nothing. 3pm (yes - pm. Started at noon....) we had a seafood smorgasboard. Iknew that I was completely off my head when I foudn myself holidng prawn up and saying "I can't eat you little prawn. You're little face it just too cute". And how did I know I did this? It's all on video tape.... Yipes!!

Oh, Maddy... I would say I read your admission with the decorum it deserved, but I'm still wiping my monitor clean...

strangely enough - I've never been able to peel and eat prawns since either....

I've never been able to - and I don't think their little faces are that cute....

I'm staying out of this discussion....

I have to say the funniest thing I have ever heard from someone under the influence of alcohol was - "You don't know me, nobody knows me - I've hidden my personality in a pot plant."
