This thread is for links/recommendations/what-have-you to references and resources that might be of use to writers. I'm going to start it by repeating a couple of my recent posts on the subject, but it's open for everyone to add their own favorites and discoveries.

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/23/buffy_movie/]According to The Register, there's a new Buffy movie in production. Early production - no director or cast has been announced.
It's a "re-imagining".
Also, "Joss Whedon, who created Buffy for the original 1992 film and subsequently guided her to TV success, will play no part in the project."
And the writer is currently "'fighting through' the script".
I'm not holding out a lot of hope for the quality of this movie, but I could be wrong...

A wind storm!
Then an ice storm!
Followed by another snow storm!
Followed by another wind storm!
Gorrammit, Western Washington is supposed to get one three inch snow fall a year than the rest of the winter is fourty two and rainy. That was the deal!

http://thegrum.com/ no longer resolves to a working webserver, but the domain is still valid.

This is one of the projects we're working on before we lift the freeze on moving Fenspace's "now". Anyone who wants access to the Google Document, please ask for it here. (Anyone with access to the Google Documents for The South Is Rising, Somebody Get a Hammer or The Fall of Crystal Osaka already has access to BoskonePrime.doc)
So far, all we've got is a short prologue to set the scene:
[size=larger]Prologue: Girls' Night Out[/size]
28 December 2013
Meetpoint, Earth-Luna L5
"Yes, our employers can't work with each other. But that's not even a good excuse to throw away victory in the Boskone War, let alone a good reason."
"Um... Technically, Haruhi isn't my boss."
"You know what Yayoi means, Mikuru." Catty sighed. "The important part is that we're letting petty rivalries stand in the way of our objective."
Shuko nodded. "We've lost too many people already. Marcel, Ms. Nikaido, all those innocent people on Crystal Osaka... It has to end."
"Which is why we called everybody together in the first place," Nezumi added. "We can't let the current situation go on any longer."
"Unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do to help you here. The Transrationality Science Assessment Bureau has orders from the Department of Defense to remain neutral in this whole affair. The Pentagon's getting enough flack from Washington because the Navy's involved in this."
Emily glared at Amy. "They attacked us first!"
Nezumi put a hand on each uniformed woman's shoulder. "Ladies, we're here to try to stop the bickering, not get lessons from the experts on how to continue it."
Emily backed down. Amy glared at Nezumi. "Time for me to leave. I can't contribute anything to this, and I'm just causing friction here." Nezumi let her go.
Gina broke the silence. "Now that that little bit of drama is finished, what are we going to do about this?"
"Pool our resources, coordinate our actions, and take the battle to the enemy, of course," answered "Doc" Raven.
"Here's the first resource," volunteered Winry. "Task Force Tango Shoes raided an enemy base code-named 'Jusenkyou' three weeks ago. The data sifters back at Great Justice discovered references to a location code-named 'Black Tower' in the data we liberated - it appears to be the Boskonians' overall command and control point. We don't have coordinates for it, though."
"That matches the intel we got from that hell-hole in space that FESWAT cleaned out the day before yesterday," added Nanoha.
"The Sammies took a Boskonian troop carrier yesterday," interrupted Utena. "Its navigational computers held the location of an asteroid called 'Black Tower', but didn't indicate it was of any importance."
The Jess in attendance nodded slowly. "Even if that's disinformation, it's worth a look..."

Its not really fanfiction, but its an awesome series that has both a free online prequel, and the author decided to put the most recent installment in the series on his site as well.
If you kind of squint and look at it sideways, you could call it Dreden Files fanfic maybe?
If you like that series, I definitely think you will dig this one.

Well, I've lost my laptop. And along with it chapter 6 and chapter 7 of DSKS.
The good news is that I was backing up the folder to an SD Card. That bad news is that at some point in time it started giving me some weird error - probably because the card was starting to go bad. So I only have chapters 1 through 5.
I may get my laptop back, but it could take up to a year to happen. Until then, I've taken the precaution of purchasing a new laptop. It's a nice little thing, too. Toshiba Satellite A665D series, with AMD Phenom triple core processor at 2.2 GHz and 1.5 MB of L2 Cache, 4 GB of DDR3 Memory, and an ATI Mobility Radeon with a dedicated 1 GB of DDR3 Memory. I may not have my missing material back, but it's nice to have a computer again.
