Slash bunny to give away
I'm pretty strictly a gen writer, and busy with 5+ works in progress in LoM at the moment, and Sam/Gene doesn't do a thing for me. Yet occasionally my brain will give birth to slash bunnies that are, at least, interesting to me on an intellectual level, even if they don't 'turn me on' (or at least the slash aspect of them doesn't). So, since that
( Read more... )
...now get out of my brain.
My fic doesn't match your restrictions exactly, though; I've set that AU definately after 2.08, and I am not doing reams of research on GLBT activism in 1970s Manchester (a bit, but for the sake of the hate crimes aspect I'm making a lot up) and also features a supreme hand-wringing level of relationship angst between Sam and Gene. Gene is rabidly against activism and is trapped in old-school gay male relationship roles that drives Sam nuts. Also have a few re-occuring characters coming in (oh yes the fabulously gay doctor is back!).
However I've barely tapped the plot and it is already at 11k words; I expect it will cap at around 30k.

>Oh CRAP. That is the EXACT plot of the next installment of my Undercover AU series! Oh no, the secret is out!
Heh. And I haven't even read that. Because I'm a freak who's currently trying to catch up with LoM fanfic reading by reading the community's memories. From A to Z. (I'm still at A.)
Have to admit to have taken a short look at some parts - I sort of scan most fic posted to the com, but don't actually read it. I think I will like it. Not a big slash reader, but your scenario seems to work, for me. From what little I've seen, anyway.
>My fic doesn't match your restrictions exactly, though (snip)
Sounds interesting. Maybe I should bump your series up a bit on the To Read list. I may only get to M much later this year... *g*

I do not ever mem anything so I don't understand how it works.
....oh and you: glutton for punishment! Starting with "A"...whoa, some challenge there.
(But if you likey the angsty, you will like the Undercover cycle, if you can live through the slash! heh.)

Okay, thanks, just making sure I was not skipping something I was supposed to do! Thanks!
I thought I was OCD but mighod you WIN. You also win for patience, because you must have buckets. Oh and it IS punishment, because 'reward' is to be transported into the fandom fanfic of your choice. I think they call that heaven?
I do write some gen that I hope you get across, like the Hiden Talents series (really need to do another one, come to think of it...) and if you just can't read 'Undercover' due to the slashiness I am SO not insulted. Personally, I simply cannot and will not read het happy fluff Sam/Annie (Oh I adore Sam/Annie/Gene, sure, but...) and honestly I get bored with overdoses of slash PWP -- I like a story, I like characterization, etc. etc. Oh I'm so damn picky!
Okay I'll let you get back to your OCD madness reading. Thanks for the bunny, you brought up a few points I'm going to consider dwelling on a bit more in my work.

So after reading this, I am minded to ask you a hugh favor. If you come across anything that you think is really cool, could you let me know so I can read it too? I like slash in general, but I am finding that this is one of those fandoms where I have to be SOLD on the slash before I will buy it. (does that make any sense?) So I suspect that those fics that you like will be the type to interest me as well.
In any case, good luck with your endeavor.

It'll probably be jumping_off or my website or my personal journal. Probably my journal first, and then my website later, plus an announcement in jumping_off. You could try subscribing to the 'recs' tag in my journal to be notified when I get around to the recs post? I do occasionally rec other stuff (fic and vids from all kinds of fandoms, and webcomics), but not often enough to really swamp your inbox, I don't think. *g*
(I'm at B now! Wheeee! *g*)

I 'm reading through the community memories too! so many fics, too little time. Hmm I need an icon that says that.
