a request and some fanfiction recs
Okay, everyone, listen up! Battlestar Galactica is being ignored and I don't like it! I'm talking about crack_van. Looks like frolicndetour gets to make recs for January, but there's no one else signed up after that! My last turn was just in July 2009, so I don't think I should sign up just yet. Go here to sign up for a turn. It's not that hard, really! And I'm happy to be bossy about how to do it correctly help out, if needed.
I have some fic recs, and I was thinking of you as I compiled them. This doesn't mean you have to like them--people have different tastes in stories.
for queenofthorns: Ultraviolet fic recs. Still no Angie/Vaughan that I've found, alas. But here are five gen stories I quite like.
Caveat Emptor, by havocthecat. Frances becomes the MI6 liaison to the Vatican. It's new! In Yuletide this year. Ensemble fic, so there's a bit of everyone.
Act of Contrition. A really fascinating conversation between Pearse and a Code V.
Met by Moonlight, by dachinchilla. Michael and Kirsty meet later.
Respice, Adspice, Prospice, by taraljc. From the 2008 Yuletide archive, another Frances and ensemble story.
Glass Houses. Contains a typo or two, but it's a worthwhile read. It's short, and I don't want to say anything else for fear of spoiling it.
For nicole_anell, a Gaius POV ficlet that maybe you've never read? I quite enjoyed it: Children of the Gods, by shaychana. Him, head!Six, Gina, Caprica... for a short fic it has a lot to say. Written sometime during season three, I believe.
For grimorie (and all other Life fans): Conversations Neatly Placed in Tired Mouths , by piecesofalice. Also in this year's Yuletide archive--and that's such an overwhelming place, I thought maybe some of you might need a little help to get there. This story is Dani's POV about Charlie and Ted. Lovely gen piece. (I'm still looking through the archives myself! But there are TEN Life stories just for this year's Yuletide, so it will be great fun to sort through that!
For njborba--I think you prefer to write fanfic rather than read it, but this story in The Pretender fandom has Broots, his daughter Debbie, Miss Parker and Jarod. Plus it ends with a brief (fade to black) steamy Miss P/Jarod interlude. untitled, by juliefortune. (General warning--does contain non-specific references to child endangerment/molestation.) Too many of the old archives with fic from this show have disappeared; it's frustrating.
For anyone who likes both The Pretender and 30 Rock, piecesofalice has written a crossover fic with those two fandoms. Yes, really. This Is Going To Get Weird, Isn't It. *giggles* It is GREAT!
For siljamus: finding shippy fics that you haven't already read is hard! So... I have a mostly gen Ironman fic with a side of unrequited Tony/Pepper--also humorous kidnapping (really!) and banter. That Time with the Dobermans (and the Hole in the Wall), by mspotts.
My other attempt for Silja: Earth Girls Are Easy, a BSG/ER crossover story with Felix Gaeta/Lucy Knight. (She was the pretty ash-blonde med student on ER who was killed by a crazy patient. rap541 decided to give her a better ending.)
Coming up next: I try to fulfill some people's actual wish list requests by figuring out (again) how to upload music to sendspace.com or whatever site I used last year... Wish me luck!
