There are writers who can turn out long, elegantly plotted fics, ones that hold together through repeated readings. And then there's asynca who not only does that, but manages to sustain multiple characters, the story and the suspense -- and sex, of course -- through thousands of words. More than 150,000 in her Teamwork series so far.

With some authors, you see their name on a fic and know what to expect. With karaokegal, though, click on one of her stories and you could end up with almost any ‘ship or style within the fandom. There’s House/Wilson from the start with Games People Play:
House noticed everything. It was his gift and a curse. He noticed a certain amount of “Julie” in the air ( Read more... )

Hello everyone. It’s time again to start up another series of profiles of Housefic authors here at Housefic_Meta, and we’re starting with bironic. We’ve got karaokegal on deck and other profiles coming up in the next few weeks, so if you’ve got time during the holidays, I’d encourage you to check things out ( Read more... )

Fanfic can be an addictive thing sometimes. You start watching a show, get interested, start looking around for something more, something to fill in the gaps. And there’s fanfic. And the next thing you know, you start wondering about something else, and no one has written about that, so you do ( Read more... )

There are a lot of good Housefic writers out there who can deliver a devastating scene of tragedy with just the right touch that will leave readers in tears.

There are others who can deftly dash off the most absurd bits of humor that they make laugh until you cry.

Not many can handle both, but consider daasgrrl and her fics which make it seem easy to ( Read more... )

Just to bring everyone up to date, we've got the go-ahead for five fics for Hall of Fame discussions at this point: "A Modest Proposal" by Ignazwisdom, "All Good Things" by Rubberbutton, "Things To Do Before You Die" by The Dead Parrot, "Walking Ghost by pwcorgigirl and "Broken" by Neena. (I've got an approval request out to simple__man as well ( Read more... )

The first time I was aware of Topaz_Eyes it was as if she’d burst onto the fandom fully formed -- she had good ideas, good recs and good fic all in one package. And she had a strong handle on the characters from the start.

Everyone lied. That was a given. Wilson didn't lie, really, except to his ( Read more... )

House is a smart guy. So is Wilson. Their banter drew - and continues to draw - a lot of people into “House,” the show, and House, the fandom.

But here’s the thing. It’s hard to write that banter. Some shoot for “sarcastic,” but end up only sounding pissed off. Others who attempt humor end up missing the point completely.

deelaundry is one of those writers ( Read more... )

Some episodes of "House" seem to beg for a little more than we see on the screen. Some fanfic writers take it on. And on. We should be grateful for that, since all fanfic needs inspiration.

For sy_dedalus, the episode "Detox" led to something intense. Not only the fic Intervention itself, but fanfic writing as a whole ( Read more... )

I’m stealing a modly moment here, so forgive me for this. I hope you folks are enjoying the author profiles. We’ll have more coming up, but don’t forget that the Hall of Fame can always use nominations. We’ve got one pending right now. When there are at least four I’ll start those up again.
