everywoman mods have revealed the authors, so I can share that I wrote "Conjunction" (BSG78) (Cassiopeia & Serina, w/Paye, Dietra, Salik, Rigel) (G, gen, ~2K words) for ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
senmut's prompt: “sisterhood,” “friendship,” “making a life out of tragedy,” and “true caring between characters.”
If you feel inclined, please read. If you have constructive criticism and don't want to put it in public, DM me.
Yep, it was one of those double-match exchange situations. I wrote for the author who wrote for me, and we both wrote BSG78 (rec). I appreciate having more BSG78 around! Did you know that it has only 244 works by 92 authors on the AO3? Check it out. I've been told that people just didn't write fanfiction back then, completely aside from whether it could have been preserved and propagated, and that I shouldn't expect more, but... only 244? For BSG78? I understand that I'm biased in favor of a story I love so much, but how could they all have resisted the urge to fill in those blanks? With the abrupt cancellation and the despised sequel? Humans have been fanficcing -- I mean, intertextualizing, yeah -- at least since Homer. We have 3 separate versions of what happened to Iphigenia, and those are just the works that survived millennia. Heck, I personally wrote fanfic before I had a clue what it was! I feel it's much more likely that some people did write BSG78 stories, if only for themselves, and those diaries and spiral notebooks and letters just never made it to us here and now.
I bet some of those diaries and spiral notebooks and letters were awesome.
