I first read House of Stairs when I was 13 and it gave me nightmares then, too. I found it again a few years ago at a used book store and bought a copy which then sat on my shelf untouched for months. I was scared to pick it up! (The cover was spooky, ok?) I finally had to take it back to the store and swap it out for something else. I think what gets me is how very *possible* it is, with there being so many "disposable" people in the world. *shivers*
I would have addressed the packages to Teesa, too, but I don't know her last name. How far have you gotten? I got more where those came from because amazon is my bestest friend, but I don't want to overwhelm you all at once. I'm pretending I've got some subtlty.
I don't think The Need is particularly well-written, from what I remember; but it's the concept of the Androgyne that I really liked. Intriguing.
Soldier is a good movie and I still don't understand why it didn't do better in the theaters. Kurt Russell's movies are usually very solid and he turns in good to great performances; unfortunately, he's like Dennis Quaid, can't seem to get beyond a certain rung on the Hollywood ladder.
Quarelling, They Met the Dragon is one of those novels I read in my teens that came out and disappeared quickly and quietly; and yet every once in a while, I'll see it mentioned on a rec list or in commentary somewhere. It's not really "apocafiction", but the coping methods that the people came up with are...yucky, for one thing. But like something in an apocafic.
My favorite stories in Still, I Persist in Wondering are the one about Conan and David, and the one with Night Wind in the title. Pangborn's got a lovely way with language.
Re: fic...well, if you want to, who am I to turn it down? *hides grabby hands*
I'm thinking something with Jeff clothed and Jensen naked, preferably in a public setting. An interrupted gang bang or saving him from a bad dom who doesn't appreciate him properly? Both? Jeff, taking some guy's collar off Jensen and putting his own there? *flails*
I certainly wouldn't turn down a spanking...for Jensen, I mean. But anything, really. I don't think you *can* write anything unappealing.

Do I sound desperate? *shifty eyes*
