I think I've read all the good fic out there, and I am rather bummed.

Doubt it. There's more good fic every day. The slashficathon produced some goodies, and Te's Rec's Blog is the place to start for All That's Fit To Read.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

I think I've read all the good fic out there, and I am rather bummed. So I'm digging through all my links to see if there's anything I've missed. (So far, not really).

Time to dip your toes in other fandoms, perhaps?

I've been trying to find some good C.S.I. fic, but there's an odd mix of rabid 'shippiness (some of the Sara/Grissom people make the K*****s look like the McLaughlin Group by comparison) and bizarre slash pairings. Not to mention that the few rec sites that I have found don't seem to be horribly picky about quality.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Augh. The slash in CSI makes even me shudder.

Greg is eminently slashable, mainly because he flirts with anything that breathes.

Grissom should not be slashed. Ever.

What I'd like to find are some well-written fics that have interesting cases and character studies and that aren't all about getting the characters into the sack.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Greg and Nicky are such the OTP.

Up with the sun

Te's Rec's Blog is the place to start for All That's Fit To Read.

Could I have a link?

Te's Amazing Technicolour Recs Blog . In addition to the recs contained therein, there are also a list of other fairly reliable rec sites. Which is cool.

I'm pretty sure Te has moved all new and future updates to We Read Crap So You Don't Have To.
