Challenge #6

In your own space, rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create.Well, one of my goals was to rec on Saturdays, which I did this past weekend. So that was two right there. However, to satisfy this one on its own, I went through my bookmarks over at AO3 and pulled out a few in various fandoms that deserve more attention. That ( Read more... )

One of my goals this year is to rec fanfic that I really enjoy. I don't read just BtVS or Merlin. There's a whole lot more than that. I haunt AO3 to see what's new in settings I'm (reasonably) familiar with and then go from there. My plan is to make those recs on Saturdays. There may only be one. There may be more. The point is for me to try and ( Read more... )

So I dipped my toe in the Humans fic over at AO3. And just dipped. I didn't want to read anything that wasn't complete, which frankly didn't leave a whole lot.

But I did find a few fics that really hit home. I would say if you're not caught up, don't read the first one. That would probably be too spoilery. But the others should be okay.

Since yuletide and the ag_fics challenge, I'm reading a lot more fic than I used to. I started trying to do this last year with recs from multiple fandoms, but life happened and it kind of fell by the wayside. I have different incentives this year, so I'm going to try again, this time posting recs exclusively for Merlin fics/art. Fingers crossed I don't suck at ( Read more... )

( 16 recs in 13 fandoms, including Revolution, This Means War, Arrested Development, The Artist, The Breakfast Club, The Cutting Edge, Dead Poet's Society, Dirty Dancing, Galaxy Quest, Mad Men, Mulan, Psycho, and Singin' in the Rain )

Yesterday, the gift for me went live at merlin_holidays, a Merlin/Gwaine fic called "Welcome to the New World." It's so utterly charming! Modern AU, with Merlin the new tech guy hired to spy on a company's employees to make sure they're not doing anything inappropriate during work hours, a company where Gwaine works so you just know there's lots for Merlin to ( Read more... )

Only four stories this week, because a few nights I just couldn't find anything I liked before I was too tired to read...

( Recs for Sons of Anarchy, Once Upon a Time, CSI, and General Hospital )

So...I've been reading more fic than I ever used to. But instead of limiting it to one or two fandoms, I've got a list of almost ninety that I'm dipping into. I only read every night until I find something I like enough to leave kudos, and since I'm so picky, I figured I'd rec what I liked that much.

( Recs for The Breakfast Club, Merlin, Sneakers, Revolution, Star Trek RPF, and Star Trek )
