Please Read!!

Gremlins attacked our post!!! *sobs* So I'm reposting this entry. Sorry for all the comments we lost, but things happen. So, trying again!

So, here you are, having found your way to the best fandom there is (and what took you so long, dammit?!?) But you don’t know quite where to start.

We, the Bitches of Britin, are here to guide you. So, take our hands, and follow us!



First, you’ll need icons. You must have prettyful icons of Brian and Justin, or Brian/Justin, or other members of the most dysfunctional family since The Simpsons.

Places To Get Icons:

Queer Eyes This is a great site, filled with everything you could want in one convenient place. Fics, videos, icons, picspams and screencaps, and more. Tell paddies we sent you!

Callie89’s LJ Check the Memories for icon posts

Badbadpixie’s Graphics LJ

RebeccaMa's LJ

And don’t forget to credit the icon maker when you upload your icons. The code for this, for those who don’t know, is <, then lj user=, then the username of the person, then >. This would go into the Keyword box in the userpic area. The Comment box is for a description of your icon, such as Brian’s Ass. And always remember to leave a comment in the icon maker’s lj, stating that you’re taking icons and that you will credit.

ETA:Thanks to zaipixie for the following How-To link: Here's How To Credit!

Next, where’s everyone hanging out? Well, there’s comms everywhere. Here are some that the Bitches prefer. These are comms for writing challenges, story recs, videos, discussions, you name it.

Places To Hang Out:

QAF Coffeeclub, for round table discussion

QAF Retread, for classic QAF stories

QAF Repixed, for all your video needs; and Xhaleslowly. Ethan’s site which includes videos, audio clips, stories, gapfillers, and is home to the video that began my obsession for all things Queer As Folk. I won’t tell you the name, you come back and tell ME which one I speak of. And leave some love behind, it keeps our friends happy!

QAF Challenges, where the gauntlet is thrown down and answered

QAF Drabbles, for short but sweet bits of love

QAF Marathons, where the seasons are discussed episode by episode

And a couple of multi-purpose places for icons, music, you name it:

QAF Icons

Queer As Folk Fans, the very first QAF community

NOTE: Most of the aforementioned comms require you to join. The links go to the Profile page, which explain the comm rules. Make sure you state your age, this is very important!!

Now, say you just wanna lay down and read. Here are a few archives to peruse:

Across The Pond

Midnight Whispers

BJfic.net

BJfic, the Live Journal

And if you can’t find a fic that you desperately must read again, this is the place to ask:

Get It Here

For your QAF news and updates:

In Babylon



Now, that should get you started. There are tons more archives and comms, but some of the fun is in discovering those for yourselves. But come back and share if you find something good, k?

A shout out for help to the flist!!!

Some of you have been around for like, ever. If you know of any other good sites, please let us know. If you want, you can email us at bitches_of_britin@yahoo.com. We’ll add your recs to the main post. Also, I know that some of you have icons stored at your lj, if you want us to add you, just say the word, and we will! Thanks, Bitches!!!

A Note Of Caution:

Most of the sites listed above require age statements before joining. We all check your profiles to make sure that you are of age, as the boys tend to be nekkid 75% of the time. Please add an age statement or your birthday to your Profile page to make it easier for all of us.

Now, go forth and explore!!
