Fan fiction sample platter

I am not normally one to get too involved in fan fiction... however I can't help but appreciate the passion that lies behind it and the sheer quantity that is getting produced for Battlestar Galactica these days. I decided to start reading a few at the recommendation of some fellow bloggers:

Lights a Candle
A short story about the "first" librarian of the fleet. (thanks Malkin Grey)

Calliope
A longer story centered on the fleet's smallest ship of "common" people. (thanks ireadthat)

Even if you aren't into fan fiction like me, a BSG fan can really appreciate how fiction like this can really help to flesh out the universe.
