I just got Season II Smallville from Netflix, preparing to give it another try. And dear God, theirloveissoslashy! It was particularly hard for me to see Tom Welling playing a character sleeping with Judge Gray, what with him trying to act 15 most of the time I've seen him.
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.
Okay. Nominate for me your favorite Harry Potter, Buffyverse, Firefly, Gilmore Girls, or Veronica Mars novel-length fic. Any pairings or no pairings. HP is my favorite of these fandoms.
If you know another great novel-length in a less common fandom, throw it out. I might be interested. Book fandoms especially (and maybe comic fandoms, though Batman and Sandman are pretty much the limit of my knowledge.)
Things I've already read include Invisible to See, all of A.J. Hall's HP stuff, and Yahtzee's Phoenix Burning, but not much else of such length.
David, try connie's stuff: [link]
Victor has a few longish stories up, all Buffyverse, one a Manchild crossover.
And it occurs to me that I really ought to make him an index page.
All Rheanna's Angel fic is worth a look. First fanfic I read in any genre, and it was wonderful for helping me cope with the Summer holiday between-seasons blues. Read like missing episodes of Season 1/2 Angel.
And who can forget Yahtzee's classic Phoenix Burning? Written after the end of BtVS season 5, and thoroughly gripping. Excellent OCs, lovely prose style, spot on characterisation. Loved this.
Lust Over Pendle, and its sequels. HP fic, set in the post-war future. Plotty more than romantic, but features Neville and Draco as central characters in an established relationship. I do not exaggerate when I say that AJ Hall's Neville and Draco are right next to Austen's Darcy and Elizabeth in my mental list of beloved fictional pairings. Funny as hell, very well researched, beautifully written, all round must-read.
Tissue of Silver by Fearless Diva - futurefic, Harry/Draco, plotty and detailed and hits most of my kink buttons along the way. Gah.
Hee. I've read LoP et cetera, as well as Phoenix Burning. In fact, just re-read them both (all of the AJ Hall stuff, in fact). But your taste is excellent, so I'll be checking out the others.
If you didn't notice that I've already read it, I'm disappointed that you didn't pimp yourself, though. Because Invisible to See was fab and you should always pimp it. I do. I've turned friends to fic with it, actually.
And thanks for the Buffyverse links, Plei and Deena. I'll be looking at those too.

I made Fay blush. =)
Now reading Tissue of Silver on my palm pilot. I'll be away for a while doing that. Thanks for the recs, everybody!
I'll draw special attention to the Rheanna/Yahtzee joint effort Splinter, which was like reading an episode script to me.
David, try connie's stuff:
hee. Please to note, the main splash page of my website was designed by the lovely Deena, as well as the page banners that involve pictures.
