That's What She Said

superduperkas:

The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor both said “You know what the real horror is? Emotions.”

here’s the thing. 

i have been wanting to do a fanfic rec list for d/l fic for sometime and sort of gave up as i ran into a problem that problem being it’s the year 2021 and csi ny has been off the air for almost a decade. 

to say there’s little activity in the fandom is an understatement. many of the fan spaces are just gone. they are either lost to time or inactive memorials to a once thriving fandom. it’s a true tragedy. i used to spend hours going through forums (i miss you dlchem) and reading fanfic when i was in high school. my senior year was survivable because i looked forward to every wednesday night. 

i may be doing the lord’s work in generating a small csi ny renaissance in my little corner of the internet here on tumblr dot com but i cannot resurrect dead websites. 

but @dl-2021​ reminded me of how much i wanted to compile something. for posterity if anything. i was there when the deep magic was written after all.

so. this is not so much a fan fic rec list but rather a “here’s stuff that still exists list” and yes it’s centered around danny/lindsay because that’s the circle i used to run and frankly i can’t find much that has anything substantial.

csi files appears the last activity was in 2017. csi files was a news aggregate for all things csi and eventually other crime procedurals.

talkcsi the forum for csifiles. there seems to be recent posts as of 2020 but it seems quiet these days. but it’s a good place to see what opinions and discussions were happening at the time when the shows were still airing. however, there was a lot of negativity towards anna belknap/lindsay. i rediscovered this while reading the old reviews of the episodes. i apparently had purged that from my memory.

tvtropes page for csi ny this still has a wealth of information about the show and it’s fun to look through the tropes.

messermontana the og lj community. there’s still a lot of great content here but it’s livejournal so there’s a lot of purged and deleted accounts and dead links but i think still worth a look.

the danny/lindsay fanforum i’m pretty sure there are multiple threads. makes me nostologic for early 2000′s webforums. 

fanfiction.net’s csi ny page this is the largest collection of csi ny fics left on the internet.

ao3 there is an ao3 tag and it’s somewhat active. well. more active than anywhere outside of tumblr.

my bf and I have the same fucking brain

Quiplash is the greatest game ever made because it allows for things like this and you can’t change my mind.

i love star trek. so much. i can’t even properly tell you how much i fucking adore star trek. all trek. every single trek. 

like, if you ever hear me say that i don’t watch/like certain star trek shows or movies, it’s not because i think they’re bad. they’re probably just not my thing or not what i’m looking for in a trek show or maybe i’m just too attached to the original canon. whatever it is, it’s never because i think they’re bad. i know that each star trek show is special to someone.

and beyond that, all trek is fundamentally good to me because of what it stands for. because behind each and every star trek show or movie, there is a dream. gene roddenberry’s vision for a future where humanity has made it to the stars. 

it’s the optimism, the hope, the belief that yes, we’re going to achieve all these things! we’re going to fix all our problems on earth! and once we do, there will be so much more to explore, there will be an entire galaxy out there waiting for us, thousands of strange new worlds and even stranger new problems to solve. it’s the idea that we are capable of all this and more, that the future is bright and brilliant and the best is yet to come. 

it’s also the diversity, the acceptance, the immeasurable strength of being different and yet working together. it’s the idea that love is universal, and that everyone feels it, everyone is worthy of it. star trek taught me that i belong, that there is nothing i’m not worthy of, no matter where i come from or what i look like or who i love or how i experience life. 

and then there’s the idea of a universe full of life, of exploration and curiosity being encouraged, of wonders and dreams and nightmares just waiting for us out there… 

star trek is a love letter to humanity. it’s hope and it’s faith and the core of it is love, so much love, for people and nature and science and art and life. what was it that captain kirk said? “a dream that became a reality and spread throughout the stars.” 

i love star trek. so fucking much.
