I found an interesting original fic to read--it's fantasy set in a D&D like magical alternate universe. So far it's got 242 chapters. I like the characters in it for the most part. The MC is a young woman who is mixed race. The first "book" is set in Australia, and the second in China. So there are cultural aspects that are interesting. There's ( Read more... )

Although this isn't likely to a genre that will appeal to anyone but gamers, I happened up it by way of my Harry Potter fanfic binge, when I came across a few mediocre "Harry realizes he's in a game and has to level up" (game stats and screens that only he can perceive included) while negotiating the events of the books. I won't rec those, because ( Read more... )

I don't usually rec WIPs, because I know how frustrating it is for readers when they are abandoned. But I really enjoyed reading these two WIPs, so I'll share anyway for those who don't mind the risk. The first one features a time-travelling Tom meeting Hermione pre-Hogwwarts, and then it goes into the events of book one with few deviations except ( Read more... )

I've been reading this "LitPPG" WIP for several months now, and I keep waffling over continuing. It's well written and the gamer tropes are fun. However, this is one of those cases where I can't identify with any of the characters, and while I do have my own issues, in this case, I think maybe the author is Aspie. I think that is the problem with ( Read more... )

I don't usuall rec WIPs, but here's some hockey M/M that I've really been enjoying. WIP series that is being regularly updated. It's set in the hockey world, but the realism and character development of Ulf and Adam would interest even those who aren't into hockey. It's about two adult men, not a first-time story or a "romance ( Read more... )

This Brandon Saad/Ben Smith series is good, realistic and absorbing. It's a WIP series of shorter pieces, but enough parts are completed to be a satisfying relationship arc, and even if there isn't more, it's left at a point that feels like a good pause ( Read more... )

This WIP series has five parts so far, more than 10,000 words, and it's a fun read. And the tattoos are an enjoyable part of the plot. ;)

This series is an active WIP, but there are several parts posted (~8800 words so far), and regular updates. There is enough written to draw you into Gabe and Stephen's story, in which friendship becomes more. And, um, there's hockey, but that's not the main focus, so don't run away if you don't feel the hockey love.

no expectation of returns, OMC/ ( Read more... )

Day 15 of 31 Flavors
I don't usually rec WIPs in my journal, but this one was impossible not to post.

The Call (WIP), Gennish so far with Sherlock/John vibes (it's Tagged M/M)

So, I didn't see that this was a WIP, and had to delete my crack van post; first time I ever had to do that in 10 years... sorry! /o\
