Hi. I'm Spud, the resident fic critic at the ADM.
For now, none of the fics listed are posted here. Check individual listings for the author's website/archive/e-mail.
The Golden Spud Awards
Note from Misha: "Eee-yeessssss!!! And Never the Twain Shall Meet part 20 is out!! Happy, happy, joy, joy!!"
Spud-type rant: "Wow, it's been months sice the last update (big %&#! surprise). So to compensate, we're trying to kick off the new millenium in style by opening the awards to all anime series. The fics will probably be mostly GW, with other anime faves, videogames, and some X-files thrown in for a variety of flavors."
Handy pics to indicate common series! |

Urusai Asuka | Crazyfun crossover/fusion of Eva, GW, and Nadesico. Wheee! | Archive: GW on Acid |
Joyce Wakabayashi | Shonen ai, x-over, AU! | |
"Give up, Asuka," said Rei. "I've got 9 guys here all ready to form the Tree of Life which'll turn your population into Tang." |
Death and the Dead Parrot | Duo endures much frustration as he attempts to buy a b-day present. | Archive:
GW Addiction |
Nixers | [3+4, 1+2] VERY light shonen-ai implications, Monty Python fusion! | |

Magical Knight Evangelion Wing | Three mecha animes, ten pilots, one vague prophecy. (and a partridge in a fig tree!) | Archive:??? |
The Scrivener | Non-yaoi, x-over, AU! | |
A fic supporting the Heero+Ayanami Rei phenomenon... kowai! Y'know, for a non-yaoi fic, this is/was shaping up pretty nicely. ^__^ |
Ma Vie et Roses | Skyler falls asleep in Wisconsin and wakes up in Ohtori Academy. Most of us would be cheering... but Skyler knows NOTHING about this new reality. Can he affect destiny, or will he too be merely a pawn in its clutches? A terrible description for a great story. | |
SKJAM & Scott Johnson | Non-series character, conspiracy, Shadow-Play Girls, Broadway musicals, obscure tv references! | |
Experimental fic co-authored by Scott Jamison and Scott Johnson. They're trying to step beyond the boundaries inherent in self-insertion... and they're doing a damn good job. |

Pointless | Duo and Quatre lament the problems of living with girls. | Archive: |
Nixers | (2+1) Tiny amount of shonen-ai, humor, body wax, roommates! | |
::Duo raised his hand, striking a pose like an avenging She-Viking. "She hadda huge wad of muslin strips in one hand and a popsicle stick fulla wax in the other hand, just globs of the stuff stringing back behind her like some goopy streamer, screaming 'GET YOUR ASS IN THAT CHAIR BITCH! IT'S YOUR TURN!"":: |
The Extended Family Fics | Mission Arcadia through Chasing the Crown | Archive: |
The Bon-Vonn Guest Authors Project | (1x2/2x1) Original characters, yaoi... great stuff! | |
Not even gonna TRY to summarize these fics. They're too damn good. READ THEM! YOU HAVE TO READ THEM!!! *_* |

What Happens When Duo Loans Out His CD | GW - Monty Python fluff | Archive: |

Nudge, Nudge | Awful lot of Nixers' stuff here this month... well, she's good! | Archive: |
Nixers | Mention of shounen ai, HUMOR!, Monty Python! | |
::Like oil spreading over water, a sinister grin slid over Duo's face. An idea had occurred to him. A very evil idea. One that required an English accent. :: |
How GW Character Eats a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup | Pure fluffy goodness. Yummy, too! | Archive: |
Belle Morte | Candy, humor, great possible commercial tie-ins (hey, I'd buy anything a G-boy advertised...) | |

[1+2, 3+4] The wars have taken their toll on Heero, Duo, Trowa and Quatre, leaving them all with emotional disorders.The boys are trying their best to heal, taking it one day at a time. ((Note from Misha: Hey, guys. It's nice to see someone be sympathetic and realistic about disorders such as bipolar syndrome, manic depression, etc. My father and I are both bipolar, and it's nice to see people like us regarded as something other than complete head cases.))

[2+1, 4+3, 5+?] Duo helps Quatre recover from PTSD, while they both come to accept their feelings for Heero and Trowa. Plus, Duo has a secret, but it's not one readers expect. Iria fans take notice!

[humor] [slice-of-life] [neighbors] [limey] [yaoi] [daytime talk shows] [sweet] [sap]

{{"Fine. Your mission, as I understand it, is to get this girl named Relena Darlian to go out with you so this Dr. J person and his associates can get some grant money. The Darlian's are one of two main benefactors to this research project and if you get the daughter to like you, she'll influence the father." Duo said in a bored tone. He dropped his arms down, letting them hang limp at his sides. "I think that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of."}}
Phoenix, Love's the Only House
Known for her controversial works of fanfiction, Phoenix has attracted as many flames as she has praise. In response to one particularly nasty little troll's opinions, she wrote this touching songfic.

{{Love is all that matters. It is all that never dies and lights the greatest darkness.}}
