Recommended fic writers

[bratfarrar]

Apparently we just had another Fic Writer Appreciate Day--rather than list off individual fics, I figured I'd share a couple of authors that fall into a very special category: "writers who overtake and replace the source material".

Right now my list for that category stands at 2 entries; I hope to be able to add to it in years to come.

Just curious if you have any favorite SPN writers?

[bratfarrar]

None that I'd make blanket recs for, but I really like some of Gekizetsu's stuff. (I'm very fond of deadlybride/zmediaoutlet, but her stuff's definitely not for everyone, simply because of subject matter. However, she's a great writer and excellent at keeping Sam and Dean plausibly themselves.)

[borgmama1of5]

I've read all of Gekizetsu's--Excellent stuff!-- and I am almost positive I found it from your journal.

I've found that writers whose stories I like tend to rec others that I enjoy!

[borgmama1of5]

I went and checked out deadlybride, and it's your fault that it's now 1 am and I have to get up for work in 5 hours...

Her stories are riveting--I couldn't stop reading herA Perfect Circle series--I am not a wincest fan in general, but it is so believable in her works, and adds to the heartbreak...

Thanks for the rec! (Except for how tired I'm going to be at work today...)

Thank you for the Stargate rec.

[bratfarrar]

You're very welcome. :)

I used to love Stargate Atlantis, it was my go to before I got swallowed up by SPN, but I was never in the fandom because I didn't know such things existed. I'll have to check out this one now! Oh and I'm with borgmama - I've just got into deadlybride through (I think) a rec by you. Maygra and Gekizetsu were on my early reading list for SPN, I found them almost at the start of my forays into fanfic, along with mimblexwimble.

I think miss_porcupine's stuff is very reminiscent of the best part of SG-1, where the military aspect of the show was handled with a fair bit of weight and consideration. She definitely takes it seriously and treats the soldiers as soldiers, not just red shirts.

(It's funny to hear you say that about SGA, btw, as it was definitely my entry point into fandom as a 'thing'.)

Writers how overtake and replace the source material - yes! We have a LOT of those here actually. All the appreciation!

[bratfarrar]

Any you'd recommend in particular?

[milly_gal]

Anything, absolutely anything that Anactoria writes, and also Quickreaver.

[bratfarrar]

Will have to take a look. :)
