Okay, so here's the deal. I am a fandom whore. I jump from fandom to fandom, reading the stuff I find on other people's rec pages. Once I run out of good stuff to read I putter about reading the crap until I get bored and frustrated, then I bail. Here is some of the stuff that kept me around for a while. Speranza's Fiction I love Speranza's Due South stories. I was going to rec Juggling Act, 'cause... masturbating parrot! Clown sex! Then I thought I'd rec Scrabble, but got distracted by Chicago's Most Wanted. And then I remembered that everything here is good. So read all of it, k? By the way, is it some sort of law that everyone who writes Due South fan fiction has to also write The Sentinel fanfic? Not that I'm complaining, but the two do seem to go together. So read her TS stuff too. in media Res Resonant's fiction. I, along with every other Harry/Snape shipper read and loved The Familiar. I suspect it's one the most rec'd stories on the internet. However, it wasn't until she e-mailed me the link to her website that I discovered she also writes Due South and The Sentinel fanfic. I can't pick out any one story in particular, but they're well worth reading. The Bard's Den Ah, Rushlight's Harry Potter slavefic Through a Shattered Mirror is gorgeous and depraved. And whadda ya know, there's Due South and The Sentinel fiction (and other stuff) here too! Tosca's Kiss I've known Tosca for a while. We first met in the Xena fandom, and I fell in love with her alternate universe Strife in Screw the Roses, Give Me the Thorns. Then she popped up in Andromeda, which is my primary fandom. I got to beta read Hypothermia, and it blew me away. In my opinion it's the best piece of fiction in the fandom. Check out her artwork too. The Green Room Viridian5's stories were the first really good writing I found on the internet. I started out with her Andromeda stories and particularly loved Diplomatic Relations and it's sequel Negotiation, although they're all worth a read. Then I moved on to her Due South stories and found the amusing and sexy Tea For Three series. Swish and Flick Isn't that just the best name for a Harry Potter slash archive? Cybele does lovely Harry/Snape stories, and her crowning achievement in my opinion is the If You Are Prepared series. It made me cry, and that's not easy to do. Odyssey into the World of McJude Jude's writing is... different. Different good, but that's the only way I can think to describe it. I can pick a Jude story out after a couple of paragraphs, they're just that distinctive. She writes a lot of crossovers, which aren't to many people's tastes, but her Xena/Andromeda series where Tyr and Ares do the alpha/alpha twister is one of those stories that makes me stand back in awe. I can count on one hand the number of people who can make me read about two dominant men together, and Jude is one of them. Jaimie Blue's Kremlin I have an uneasy relationship with the seaQuest fandom. I was rather harshly (but not completely undeservedly) flamed for one of my stories on one of the mailing lists, and while I didn't flame back, a bunch of other people did on my behalf. It all got rather ugly and almost killed off the fandom. Fortunately JB was one of the few who didn't walk away, and her Tim O'Neill stories are lovely. I'm particularly fond of the Confessions series. There's Joxer fiction too, for those of us with a Thing for Ted Raimi. Scribe's Scribblings What can I say about Scribe? She's a Big Name, and I remember being terribly flattered and flustered when she complimented me on one of my Xena stories. Her Dracula AU Child of the Night is just awesome. And I enjoy her self-insertion stories... ow, I'm a Mary-Sue hater, and it hurt to say that. Luthien's Library Luthien has managed, single handedly, to drag me into not one but two fandoms. I became a Joxer/Ares shipper thanks to Mysteries and Revelations and a Harry/Snape shipper thanks to the Aftermath series. Manna's Own Slash Fiction Archive As a British girl growing up in the seventies and eighties, I could hardly have avoided Blake's 7 even if I'd wanted to. As it was, I was completely addicted to it, and now I get to enjoy all the subtext I was too young to see first time around. However, what I'm really recommending here is The Administration series. It's a series of original novels, novellas and short stories set in a near-future dystopian Europe. The sex in this series is always wonderfully written, and even after countless readings is still blisteringly hot. Read it now before someone sends it to a publisher and we have to pay for it! Anais: a big bunch of nerd porn I love Stargate, but I've never really been involved in the fandom, or read much fanfic. However, Dr Jackson's Diary is one of those stories that just has to be read. I spent two days reading with my legs crossed, so I wouldn't pee myself laughing. Stories by Aristide I wasn't going to do any more due South/The Sentinel authors, but then I remembered Fruit of the Vine and had to change my mind. Warning... horrible migraine-inducing background colour on the fiction page. Shrift's Fan Fiction I don't read a lot of Firefly fanfic, and I pretty much stick to high-rated slash, so I don't know how I came to be reading Big Damn Zombies, Sir. I do know that it's hilariously funny, and gosh, the only gen rec on this page. The Grrrl's Slash Fiction The Grrrl writes John Sheppard and Rodney McKay the way they should be written: funny, snarky and very sexy. My favourite is Yes, Yes, A Thousand Times Yes. unTitled Danvers is another writer I discovered through the SGA fandom. However, it's her vids that made me sit up and squeak. Check out her Shep vid to Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams. It's just excellent. Creation's Reflections This is a vid site, and a damned good one too. Check out Trisa Lee's vids, World of Danger is a particular favourite of mine. |
