J2 stuff you might like:
Stop Me If You've Heard This One
http://kellifer-fic.livejournal.com/143632.html
Summary: All comic book store clerk Jensen Ackles wanted for his birthday was an uninterrupted viewing of the three Lord of the Rings movies at his local cinema. He wasn't expecting a tall, dark haired stranger with pockets full of candy and for his life to change so... dramatically.

This was NOT what I thought it would be (namely a sweet little rom-com). There's drugs, gangsters, hut!Jared and J² on the run :)...

This one combines rom-com highschool fic, superhero au and a case file:
We could be heroes (just for one day): http://arlad.livejournal.com/114623.html
Summary: AU. Jared Padalecki is not your run of the mill high school student: for one thing, he’s gay, and for another, he’s an empath. The first thing has made life at school hell, and when the new kid transfers, it looks like it’s going to get worse… but maybe Jensen isn’t what meets the eye, either. (otherwise known as the gay teenage superhero!au)

Hurt!Jared + case file:
Long way home: http://t-fic.livejournal.com/32145.html
Written for the J2-everafter challenge and base on the movie Candle Shoe (that I've never seen). I love this ^^!

lol, I'm going on and on again. sorry. I should go to bed...
One last rec though. It's a WiP, which I know is annoying, but OMG! This is the most amazing storyline I've come across in years. It makes me wanna tear my hair out with how awesome and frustrating it is at the same time (frustrating cause I want to know WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AAAAH!). But the awesomeness makes up for the loss of hair. Ahem, so you know... go read. NOW ;)

Rule 26: http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/134565.html
A mash-up of Star Wars, Flash Gordon and a few other sci-fi stalwarts.
In which there is a galaxy-spanning evil empire, a mission to kidnap a henchman of the aforementioned evil empire, and Jared is a resistance fighter on the aforementioned kidnapping mission.

Oh I love getting rec's LOL
Ok i haven't read the first one but that sounds awesome and I love kellifer fics!

I did read and loved the We could be heroes. i'm discovering that Arlad is awesome and I adore her Brock stories where he has a major crush on Jared. ( I think those are hers anyway)

Long way home, was awesome. I bookmarked your rec's from roundtable and have been working my way through the ones I hadn't already read.

And rule 26..I have to agree is amazing I want all of it right NOW. The waiting is killing me!
I love the way her mind works. She creates these characters that go together that shouldn't and sometimes you think how the hell is this ever going to work out and then it does and geesh it's just stressful. LOL

Thank you for the rec's you got me pegged anytime you want to add I'm happy to accept more.

*g* Lot's more where that came from ;). I'll let you know whenever I've read something I think you're gonna like. (Though I guess there's a 90 % chance you already know it XD).

I'm currently in love with sinnerforhire's Date Verse (wip). That is mainly shmoopy romance and h/c though. Don't know if you like stuff like that. It features jensen in a wheelchair, but there is lots of hurt!Jared in later chapters. She's curently on a role with it and has been updating it every few days for the las two weeks.

I am really loving that date verse too! I like schmoopy. LOL Hey have you read the firefighter verse from eviltwin. Where Jared rescues a deaf Jensen. It's wonderful too.
http://eviltwin.livejournal.com/825575.html

Thanks for the new link for the hdm cross. I'm looking forward to having some more crossovers to read. I sifted through the crossover bigbang and have read a couple from there but alot of them are Dean only or just aren't grabbing my attention.

Rec away! It's always nice to have another opinion there are still a ton of things I pass over or save til later and then forget about.

Yeah, I'm following 3/22. I love that one!

And damn, I need to find something you don't know yet lol.

Ok, *cracks knuckles* here's the 3 last rps fics I've bookmarked with "awesome" *g*.

Anegada: The Drowned Land
http://veronamay.livejournal.com/777582.html
Summary: Jared washes ashore on a remote Caribbean island after a devastating shipwreck. The only person he can find to help him is a brusque, misanthropic natural historian who declares he only wants solitude, but whose eyes say something else altogether.

Schmoopy adventure fic :D. With bonus hurt!Jared and er... NC-17. ;)

Dreams are made of cheese
http://astri13.livejournal.com/108156.html
Summary: Jared has a new roommate he's head over heels with. But there is one small problem. Do fairytales still come true?

Crack warning ^^. But so cute. And it had me laughing out loud several times. Teehee. (The last part is not linked at the end of the fic. You need to check the tab to find it.)

-
A second chance to make a first impression
http://users.livejournal.com/__tiana__/163217.html
Summary: AU. Jensen is graduating from college in just four months. When he meets Jared, he does not make a good first impression. Or second. Jared is not interested, or at the very least, unimpressed. Which doesn't actually stop Jensen from trying. He'll do (almost) anything to win Jared over.

This was so much fun to read. One of those fics that leave you on a sugar high...!

Now off to do laundry. yay.

Seriously I have no life. I also read very fast. LOL

Oh! Now the first one I haven't read and it sounds awesome I was skimming the comments on the masterpost and someone mentioned grumpy Jensen..I love grumpy Jensen!
I've read the others, although I didn't know there was more to the mouse Jared fic I missed that totally.
And that last one I really loved cos again with the grumpy Jensen. He's just so cute when he's grumpy! I also love stories where they have to work at it a bit. I'm all about the chase. LOL

tanpopo03 June 3 2010, 21:58:16 UTC
Well, one out of three, that's not too bad lol! And grumpy Jensen is one of my very favourite flavors of Jensen XD. You'll love "Anegada" I think!

I also love long winded get-togethers!
We should totally have a weekly fic-reccing meet ;).

That's an awesome idea! I'm kinda a dork but I love getting rec's and rec'ing stuff, even if I don't always get to read them right away it helps me to prioritize when I get in the mood for a certain thing.
How would we go about that anyway? Weekends are kind of out for me though.
Oh I started Anegada.. Scruffy grunmpy Jensen ftw! LOL I'm not far in but I loved that already.

Coming up with a definite time-slot we'll both be available every week might be difficult. What's our time difference anyway, 9 hours? Chatting every now and then would be cool though. Do you have YiM by any chance?

I also just had the idea of a shared delicious account. Do you use delicious? We could both save stuff there we think the other might like and that way we'll both see what the other's already read/saved.

I don't know. It's mainly practical for new stuff I guess. But we could both save older fic-recs there too if we wanted.
On the one hand it'd all be in one place and easy to find, on the other there's only limited space in the "comment" field, so we couldn't really discuss the fics much.

Well, just an idea. I'm open to anything^^.

Yeah I think that's going to be the tough part I think it is 9 hours. I don't have any messaging thingys. Really I seem like I am on here all the time but it's more that I pop in for a few minutes here and there- read a bit, go clean the house, drop/pick up a kid, run an errand, read something. LOL. The most time I spend on here reading is at night before I go to bed and the time depends on my family and what time they leave me in peace.

The delicious idea sounds good too. I don't have that either. I looked into it about the time I got this journal and figured that was too many things for me to learn how to do at once. LOLOL But I kept thinking I'd go back and do that cos they are so handy. I just haven't gotten around to it. It's too bad the comment field is small but I do like the idea that it's all in one place and that you can tag it to death so its easier to find what you are looking for.

I s'pose we could do a journal entry or something like we have been doing too. Although I am not sure how that would work. Unless we alternated journals every week but then does that get confusing?

I'm pretty game for anything too.

I'm not sure if I want to do rec posts on my journal. Not that I'm against reccing stuff, but I just don't necessarily want to tell everybody what I read ^^. I know I did the rec stuff on spnroundtable, but somehow that's different. lol, don't ask me.

I love delicious. Don't know what I'd do without it. Never find any links again, probably. I've got about 1200 fics saved there by now lol. I have no life. I'm a bit paranoid though, so they're all locked.

Maybe you could have a look around it and find out if you'd like to use that.

No I can't blame you there and really its good to be a bit paranoid. One of the reasons so far I haven't rec'd any j2 in any of my rec posts is for that same reason. LOL Not that most people care just more because of my kids.
I'm sure Delicious is fine- not sure how you share an account on it- will that be a problem? Or should i just get one and we trade links? Maybe email me how you want to do this, do you still have my email? if not I am fairly positive i stll have a email from you I haven't cleaned out my inbox for a few months.
Lmao I sound really confused.
