It's been a heck of a year.  It's marked by two new fandoms, one of which I am still reading, and a general cessation of interest in all others.  The falling out of fandom is timely: I'll be graduating soon, and hopefully I will be far too busy with Real Life to spend hours a day surfing for fic.  Well, here's the roundup of fics in old fandoms; I' ( Read more... )

 Jen-in-Japan single-handedly brought me into the DCU fandom in July, and Te's keeping me there; I love every minute of it. I don't have a ton of *different* recs; what I have are ways to find other rec pages, or sift through a particular author.

This is a fandom I can blame wholly on Ciceqi and her "Mascot" series. I suppose that makes this a 2006-onwards fandom, although I mostly read WIPs that I started last year, or re-read older fic.

BTW: when I list pairings, the order of names has NOTHING to do with who's on top. Glad to clear that up.

 I started reading fanfic for Gundam Wing long before I watched any episodes. I bought my set in 2006, so before then. I read it because *everyone* seemed to have read some GW. Thus, the earlier fic was wildly fanon and OOC, because I needed time to figure out just who these pilots were.
I'm a big ol' Wufei fangirl. So, fic tends to have him as a ( Read more... )

The first year of college, my friends and I watched all the episodes within a few weeks. I was hooked, and ended up buying my own set. Since then ('03), my fandom interest slowly dropped, and plummeted after I saw the movie. I still re-read old stuff, and there's one or two WIPs that I keep up with, but otherwise we're quits. So, don't come looking ( Read more... )

This fandom is Daegaer's fault. When I started reading her fics about the florist assassins and the psychic assassins that opposed them, I had to find more. :) Hmmm, maybe late high school, or early college? I'll call it 2002. Mostly now I just re-read old stuff, although one WIP has 230+ parts and shows no sign of stopping.
By its nature, WK (or ( Read more... )

Ranma 1/2 was one of my early fandoms. Hearing about an aquatranssexual's romantic and adventurous escapades through the web was too tempting. Since the bulk of the reading was back around 2000, most of the links are dead. Here's what little I have left.
I don't really like Akane, so the fic I rec is pretty much gen, or Ranma/anyone else. That means ( Read more... )

I can blame this fandom on Ciceqi, as well. She turned to writing FMA after her stint with Saiyuki (or maybe that's reversed) and I followed. :D Only anime, with manga!Ling as a fun addition; I can't keep track of the manga, and some of what goes on there seems a little too cracktastic even for me. Plus, I like the idea of the Alterworld.

FMA is ( Read more... )

Naruto fandom, for me, is the fault of Askerian and Maldoror. I don't know who started writing in it first, but I followed them both from Gundam Wing to this. 
You see, the Naruto fandom to me is all about Naruto himself. I think the canon post-timeskip is screwing him over, and I like the opportunities fandom gives him. So, I'm open to most ( Read more... )

Harry Potter was, no lie, my Big Name Fandom from 1999 to 2003. "But that was *four years*! You don't even like Harry Potter now, in fact - you warn about it in crossovers;" I hear you cry. TRUE. And valid points you have raised, grasshoppers.

I could direct you to tons of other ficcers' pages, in which they moan about the rise and fall of the ( Read more... )
