Sliding into your AO3 with my ninja-like stealth

[sholio]

If you happen to notice the sudden arrival of a comment on a fic from two years ago, I've decided to use the Comment Project to go back and attempt to get caught up on the backlog of AT THE VERY LEAST my oldest unanswered Biggles fic comments (and a few random other ones). So I'm doing a few of those tonight.

A few stray observations on the oldest page of Biggles fic on my AO3:

- Out of the Cold (the glacier rescue one) is based loosely on an SGA fic I wrote around 2006-07. It's obviously not the same fic, but I used the idea of climbing down into a glacier crevasse to rescue someone who was suffering from hypothermia after a fall. I think the original was called "Cold Comforts" and may or may not be on AO3. (ETA: It is indeed on AO3 and it was from 2008.)

- I still love the concept of the book club fic even if I'm not wholly satisfied with the execution. (I was really struggling in the earliest ones with the book voice, and I think I went a little overboard on pastiche-ing it. This would definitely be one of those.)

- I literally forgot about the existence of some of these, particularly the one where EvS's handler is creeping on him.

- Still highly amused that I debuted in this fandom with shock collar fic. Somehow it's very me, though.

Comment replies are always welcome, no matter how long ago! Sometimes I read the comment I left that's being replied to, get reminded of how much I enjoyed the fic, and re-read it.

[sholio]

Yeah, I do that too, and I also like getting comments on my own older fics because it reminds me of them again!

EvS's handler creeping on him! I just perked up like a dog that has seen a squirrel. Sorry Erich, you just suffer indignity so beautifully.

[sholio]

I love how the entire fandom shares an id. AND AN EXCELLENT ID IT IS TOO.

[osprey_archer]

For whatever reason AO3 simply WILL not recognize that I am signed in and let me comment on that particular fic, so let me say here that it is glorious. Kozlov is such a creep and I love how he gets even creepier when he sees that it bugs Biggles, until he escalates so much that Biggles and von Stalhein snap simultaneously. Brain twins!

[sholio]

Thank you so much!! I don't know why it's so much fun to make EvS's canonically crappy life even WORSE, and yet, it is.

(AO3, why.)

[osprey_archer]

He's just such an iron woobie about it! It makes you want to see what would finally break him...

[recessional]

Gen shock collar fic, no less. XD

[sholio]

IKR, it is a thing of beauty. xD

[silverflight8]

Seeing your reply today and thinking ah yes, sholio posted about this a few days ago :P

[sholio]

Yeah, there's probably more where that came from. :P

[silverflight8]

Hooray! I didn't get into fandom so I could silently have fun with canon, after all 😆

[philomytha]

I still vividly recall my utter delight at finding your shock collar fic! A perfect debut <333

[sholio]

And I continue to regret nothing. :DDD
