I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

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.


Dana - Dec 07, 2005 5:25:17 am PST #1476 of 10434
I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Pretty sure Sam Vimes is actually a he.

Once you've read "Transfigurations", you should go pick up julad's prequel, which is called "Night-blooming Heartsease."

Go for it, Fay-babe.

erika, I"ll be able to enjoy Adena 1950 with no H:LOTS knowledge? I do intend to netflix that at some point too, but it could be a long time from now.
