I think I've read them all ...

Jul 14, 2009 16:01

I've been searching for a good 'in character' fic for a week now and I'm suffering from QAF-FanFictionWithdrawelSyndrome. I start reading fics and then conclude that they're too angsty (I can do angst, but not chapters and chapters long, I want my boys together and in love) or too OOC.

I've read them all, I guess but still I'd like to see if you can ( Read more... )

(one 'baby' from Brian and I'm gone) ... Oh I'm so with you on this one! I could 've been reading a fic for 15 chapters, and then suddenly there's a "baby" popping up, and I'm like ... ooookay, I'm outta here! *cracks up*

I suggest wren-kt7oz. Start with Experiment then move on to Homecoming and the sequels. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

besame_bj would be another one. All of her stories are in canon and will keep you up reading.

I think that both of these authors do a good job of creating stories that focus not on "will Brian and Justin be together?" but more in the vein of Brian and Justin have to struggle together against outside forces.

If I might add, you have to friend besame_bj's LJ to read her stories, but they're really worth it. Also she has a community (http://community.livejournal.com/beyond_besame/) you can find some her angsty fics there, but they all have a great ending ^_^!!!!!!

Have you read "Wild Child" by Thyme? http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/TF/WildChild.htm It's a future fic where Gus has turned into an extremely rebellious almost-teenager, so his mothers send him to live with Brian. Brian and Justin aren't together at the beginning because Justin is in Europe, but they definitely get back together. I would say everyone is pretty much in character, (but that is really a matter of opinion ( ... )

If you go here (http://chiaki-chie.weebly.com/queer-as-folk-recommended-fanfiction.html) you can see all my QAF recommendations. Though I can't promise that some of them don't have a "baby" in them, but those are quite few because I also find it weird for Brian to suddenly start calling Justin baby >:D!!!!!

If you haven't yet, do read akintay - her Queer as Folk fiction is all linked in her sidebar. She is AMAZING at characterization
