Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

Hey. New board.

In the interest of getting reading material for my palm, everybody should suggest (at least) one (preferably long) fanfic work in Buffy, Angel, HP, Firefly, Joan of Arcadia, Veronica Mars, or classic Star Wars (basically anything that ignores the prequels - expanded universe is fine, I've got a good grasp of most of that.) Any odder fandoms ask me about, as I may be interested (His Dark Materials? Sure!)

I've read/collected a bunch of HP novels, including Invisible to See, Transfigurations, all of AJ Hall's stuff, and most of the stuff by sam_storyteller (who also goes by some other sam-related names, I think). But in the other fandoms, Phoenix Rising is pretty much my only novel-length venture.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Well, Rheanna and Yahtzee have two co-written novel-length Angel pieces, Splinter and A Stitch In Time.

I heartily second the rec for Splinter, which is funny and plotty and mind-bendy. Pylean Attack Cheese!

Do you watch Battlestar Galactica? Rheanna wrote a terrific novel length fic called Twelve, which is brilliant. Clever premise, terrific writing, all the usual Rheanna trademarks.

I don't know of any good novel-length Joan of Arcadia fic, but everyone should read Yahtzee's Goodnight, Moon (mid-length), which wrecked me. I think it's one of the best pieces of fanfiction I've read, full-stop.

A good longish post S1 VM fic, Logan-centric: Anjou's Into the Blue.

D., I don't read extensively in any of your fandoms, but I can highly recommend the longass ST: Voyager series, "Talking Stick Stories", which turns out far better than the tv show itself actually did. It goes AU from about the end of season 1, so there's no Seven, no Borg, and lots of conflict with the Maquis. Also, no slash, but it is Janeway/Chakotay. Find it here: [link]

If you read X-Files, there's a ton of excellent novel-length fic out there, mostly casefiles or mytharc stories.

Oh, yay, I have that saved but I haven't gotten to it.

Suela's right about the X-files stuff. Are you into slash at all - I can think of some excellent novel-length slash stuff, and some gen.

Hey. New board.

I have not watched BSG (Though I would like to), nor any Stargates or Star Treks, nor X-Files (I'm actually rather new to TV, really. X-Files is on my list of "maybe some time I'll do it all but don't have time to start it now.")

I'm fine with slash in any fandom, so long as the story isn't exclusively about the sex. That's also true for het, actually - give me story or give me death.

Always Anti-fascist!

I still want you to read Adena 1950, dang it. Which for my (no) money is one of the finest fics ever crafted, especially novel-length. I would have paid that guy to write fic, legality permitting. But I never even got to give him props...he archived it and didn't keep in touch.

Sam Vimes. I haven't been reading HP very long, but he/she does wonderful things with sharp AUs and minor character explorations. I was just reading Reclamation yesterday, which deals with "What if Tom Riddle managed to avoid becoming Voldermort?". It made me go, Ooooooh.
