Recommendations [Fanfics]

Dec 14, 2008 20:18

I'm taking stories out of my memories and putting them together for a big list, separating stories into its fandom, for anybody that's interested. Here's a few notes:

→ Each fic that has a * has been discontinued.

→ Each fic that has a ^ isn't complete yet.

→ Some of these fics have slash, some boy/boy, some girl/girl.

→ If any author comes upon this list and wants to know why I haven't commented, I'm really really sorry about that. :( I'm such a lurker, it's not even funny.

→ Some of these fics have uncomfortable and/or disturbing content. I'm going to assume that anyone looking at this list can deal with the lack of warnings. However, if you have a specific trigger and you're looking to avoid that, please tell me and I'll let you know which ones to avoid and try to direct you to stories without the possible squick.

→ Happy reading, everyone!
