1.  Chimera Bloom

Yes, it's an extreme concept, but I think it's an interesting challenge
the author set for herself, to have something that, even though
explained and excused by the backstory (shall I give details?  I hate to
spoil people, but I also don't want people thinking it's worse than it
is) will still cause issues throughout the story, but I don't see the
series's unfinished status as an indication things aren't meant to "get
better".  (Then again, I haven't read the whole seriesmy fragmented
cyber-attention span works against long fics.)

That said, I don't think a warning label is merited on the link.  It's a
B/W story, it doesn't bash either character, and if people don't like
the premise, they'll discover that and make their own decisions.
(There's one popular B/W fic that I, personally, was severely offended
by, but I didn't put a warning label on that one, either.  [Nor shall I
identify that fic or my issue with it, because I don't want to have that
discussion.  It's my issue and I've decided to keep my opinion private
on this.  I just wanted to point out that I don't feel Chimera Bloom's
series is a unique case and should be marked with an advisory.])

One note that *is* merited:  there are two prequels set within the core
universe of the series (the one that begins with "You Used To Be Mine")
that are not on the latest version of the site.  However, they are
viewable through the use of the Wayback Machine.

2.  Casandra's site, "No Other Way"

I like Cas lots, but keeping her out of the "Authors' Pages" folders has
nothing to do with promoting her or giving preferential treatment.  The
URL on that link is wrong and I left it out of the folders so I'd
remember to hunt up the correct addy.  Just didn't want to file and
forget, and I was too tired at that time.

My linkage, and my life, remain a work in progress. :)  (Bonus pts to
who ever first IDs *that* reference.)
