Yeah, that machine that will write my fics for me, gotta get me one of those! I have all the ideas and everything, it's just having the time and the inclination (both at the same time, which never seems to happen lately!) to write the things down, that's all.
If you like North & South have you also read Wives & Daughters? It's another by Elizabeth Gaskell and I personally like it a lot.
One day, as and when I ever get around to writing more Lane/Dave fic, I'll let you know. I have written them as a background pairing in a couple of my Rory/Jess fics, and in a couple of their own short one-shots, but I've never written anything lengthy about just them. I probably should.
Ugh, I miss the good old days on LJ too. I was big into Leverage when lots of other people over there were too and it was a crazy-fun time. I like DW and Twitter and AO3 and all, but it's not the same. I want a big family type situation of all people who love the same fandom(s), but alas, it doesn't happen. Tried Tumblr, couldn't get into it. Have no idea what Discord is about. (I suddenly feel old! lol)
AO3 tagging is a minefield. I tag every possible thing because I feel like I should, but I know some people believe in minimal tagging. Live and let live, I guess, but it means no-one is ever really happy because there's no proper system. As you say, it would be cool if you could have a main pairing listed, separate to any secondary pairings. I mean, why has no-one thought of this before?!
I know I shouldn't, but I do get PO-ed when people don't comment on exchange gifts. I mean, sometimes, I remind myself that these are human people with lives. Maybe they're sick, maybe there's been some tragedy in their life, maybe they just forgot to come back and comment because that happens too, but yeah, I admit to seething about it a little bit here and there. I think it's okay to be a little put out about it - we're human too, after all :)
