The CCCarioca's page of slashy fun Last update: 19-III-2004 I'm a fanfic writer and I go by the pen name 'Caramel Covered Carioca' or CCCarioca if you are as lazy as I am and so would rather not type the whole thing again and again. I do live in Rio, hence the name. I used to have a warning page but everyone linked beyond it (you know you did!) so I gave up on it and instead set up warning paragraphs. WARNING #1: The fiction posted here is SLASH, which is to say, guys having sex with guys in wildly pornographic and explicit ways. If this disturbs or shocks or offends you or you're not old enough to legally be reading this stuff wherever it is you live (16 or 18 in most places), LEAVE NOW WARNING #2 I'm just a fan and so quite obviously don't own the shows or characters and am not intending to make any cash on the fics, I'm just writing because I love both the characters and the universes they evolve in. Exalted and anything derived from it is the property of White Wolf. Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well as Angel the series (and all things related to these) belong to Mutant Enemy. All things X-Men are the property of Marvel. Harry Potter (and everything that has to do with him)  is J.K.Rowling's property, a lady who is extra cool for going easy on us fanfic-writing peons. Everwood and Gargoyles belong to ... someone. I'm not quite sure who but they definitely aren't mine and I'm not challenging any legal rights. Please don't sue me, especially since I don't have much cash in the first place. =) F.A.Q. About whether or not I'm still writing: Many people worry about that and send me pleading e-mails. The answer is: I still write ... however real life is occasionally demanding so the production sometimes slows down. Please be patient and bear with me. About the frequency of updates: You want more updates and you want them now? There is something you can do: feed the raging bonfire of my giant ego! I usually don't answer feedback unless it includes specific questions to be answered about the fic, however I -always- read it and the more I get, the more pressured I feel to get my lazy behind in front of the computer and start typing. So feedback away! It really works. Sure, I'll feedback: but where? The e-mail to contact the author is cccarioca at yahoo dot com How to know when there's been an update (or better yet, when there will be one): You want to know when I new stories are available? Sign up for my update mailing list. About archiving my stuff elsewhere: I usually say yes but please ask me first.    About what kind of fics I write: I love action fics. I love long fics. I love twisted plots. I love uncommon pairings. I have a Xander fixation. And so, I write what I love. Don't expect any angsty Harry/Draco snippets around here. Also, I have a very unhealthy fascination with improbable crossovers which has been known to have some disturbing (yet highly entertaining) results. About the rather lame design of this page:  I agree, it's embarassingly ugly. The thing is, I've read quite a lot of fanfic in my time and some very good fics were ruined for me by the fact that I had to squint at my screen to make out what was written thanks to fancy design. So I made the esthetic choice of 'readable' over 'pretty' which means any embellishments will not only be minimal, but likely to go if I get complaints.
