When I was a little fangirl, and first discovered fan fiction, there were a couple of writers who basically exemplified everything wonderful and good about the genre to me. They were bigboobedcanuck , who had left the fandom when the series ended (with grace!), and ragingpixie , who hasn't written in a long time but still drops into fandom now and then to spread a little, well... SUNSHINE!

Nothing could have made me happier than to see that my "Sunshine mini-challenge" inspired her to write QAF fic! And when I read it, and saw what a finely crafted little gem it was, I got all giddy and fan-girly on her.

If you're not familiar with ragingpixie , please check out her work immediately -- and if you haven't seen this new story from her, you're in for a treat:
