F-list, pls help!

Jan 08, 2011 07:32

I'm looking to expand fandoms. Currently, I only play in Star Trek (Reboot & TNG), but it's not fulfilling all of my fanfic reading needs, as I'm not a fan of Jim Kirk. I can read up to 500 pages of fanfic a week, if I could find the stories.

PLS SEND SUGGESTIONS! Off the bat, Inception, Glee, and Gossip Girl are no-gos. Otherwise, point me to ( Read more... )

I totally second both The Sentinel and Due South. I just got into Due South myself and it's amazing. You can get the entire series for like $30 which isn't bad. Sadly for The Sentinel only the first season for released on DVD (out of four), but I know a site where you can download all of it (each episode separately) if you're interested.

If you like angst and h/c, Torchwood is a great one. Also it has a canon gay couple with gives it bonus points. ;)

Hmm other than that, most of my fandoms tend to be small sadly.

ETA: Star Trek DS9 is a good one too.

Thanks for this.

I'd like to know more about your small fandoms, because I know all about playing in small or non-existent ones: American Dreams, Everwood, Friday Night Lights (esp. post season 1)?

Are there any specific genres that you're interested in, or are you game for anything?

I tend not to be a fan of sci-fi, so that's out. Anything where I'd have to watch 3 seasons of episodes just to "get it" is out (a.k.a. no Lost or Grey's Anatomy, but surprisingly, NCIS or Law & Order are exempt). Otherwise, I'm game. Heck, someone else turned me on to American Idol RPF and I've been gobbling up David Cook/David Archuleta fic for the past week!

Ah, well most of my smaller fandoms are movie fandoms because it doesn't take long to "get it ( ... )

Pike/McCoy is an interesting ship, I'll give you that :) I adore McCoy, and that Karl Urban is something else :)

Aaaaand if you wanted I also have a list of AIS7 longfic reccs, which I'd be happy to share!

random00b February 2 2011, 16:20:44 UTC

Send AIS7 recs, because, even though I've gone through a lot of fic, I keep thinking that I may have missed something just spectacular because I didn't search the right comm, rec list, etc.

Honestly, I'll ship McCoy with anyone not named James Kirk. My OTP in the Reboot!fandom is actually McCoy/Chekov. Yes, I do find it odd that I find young!innocent/older!world-weary slash ships so enjoyable. (I've also found some Riker/Wesley Crusher fic in Star Trek: The Next Generation...what the hell is wrong with me?!)

innocent/older!world-weary slash ships: Ah, someone primed to ship that particular dynamic Cook/Archie has :)

I...have just sent you a long list of DCook vids, so to avoid wanton spamming, I will send the longfic list later? You could send me Pike/McCoy, too!

random00b February 2 2011, 17:57:55 UTC

You could send me Pike/McCoy, too!

Will do. Several will be in the random recs this month (I basically have a list and do the random number generator in Excel every morning--voila! that's the rec for the day), but I can send along five or so to whet your appetite.

random00b February 2 2011, 23:18:47 UTC

Sent an email with 5 Pike/McCoy recs!
