It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Roseveare needs to finish Inertia, her incredible Birthdayverse fic. Damn it.

Also, Fay's Sick Rose (link, Fay?) Dru and Spike fic is perfection.

For Harry Potter, I liked Duinn Fionn's A Thousand Beautiful Things. Harry/Draco, with good magic detail. Which I appreciate. Along those same lines, I'm really liking the magic in The Shadow of His Wings, but it's a WiP (link is to Mirabella's lj).

(ETA: She has a Webpage for it, but it doesn't have links to the two most recent installments.)

There was a recent-ish sequel to A Thousand Beautiful Things, I think. Though I can't remember the name. Someone else might be able to link it.

Delicate Sound of Thunder would be the one you're thinking of?

And whilst we're at it, Trade, by Hackthis, was absolutely one of the most delightful stories I've read in AGES. London is probably the main character. It's AU HP fic, magicless, and it's a crossover with Alias. And Draco runs an escort agency. And it is wonderful beyond the telling of it, even though it sounds like the most insane of crackfic.

Except if you're an OTP-er. In which case it's still wonderful, but one should be warned.

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.

Hmm. I'm terribly fond of NWHepcat's Lilac City, which is a Xander novel set 7 years after Chosen. Really excellent stuff, well-plotted. Oh, and This Little Light is a novel about a new slayer set not long after Chosen, which is really excellent as well. [link]

I haven't read any novel-length Firefly. I do recommend Salieri's Firefly stories: Utopia is shatteringly good. She also writes fabulous Stargate, primarily slash. I think Noise might be novel-length.

Tripoli's The Cost of Doing Business is a long, plotty, messy Stargate story. Very sad. Gen, sort of.

Novel-length, novel-length... Peg Robinson and Macedon's The Talking Stick/Circle stories are a Voyager series that develops into an epic novel. Spins off from canon early in season 2, so there's no Seven, no Borg, and a lot of messy internal politics. Good stuff.

Kipler's Strangers and the Strange Dead is excellent X-Files. Not quite novel-length, though. Other long XF I'd recommend: Iolokus, of course. Fialka's Arizona Highways. Nascent's Pillar of Salt and Theory and Practice. Jill Selby's Mediocrity's Allure. Most of those should be at Gossamer.

Speranza's Chicago's Most Wanted is a long DueSouth story: plotty and damned funny. Slash.

Hey. New board.

Except if you're an OTP-er.

I'm not sure what this means, in this context, for some reason.

Thanks for the recommendations, everybody! This is fun. I now have a bunch of fic on my palm for infinite free reading yay.

I'm 2/3 of the way through Tissue of Silver and enjoying it thoroughly, though I prefer the Draco/Harry interactions in Invisible to See.
