Fanfic Recs, Part 2

Huh. So it seems that I don't have a lot of fandoms in common with ya'll. That's cool; I like being different. And besides, we'll always have Scrubs ( Read more... )

Hey! We totally have lots of fandoms in common.

I'm really interested in the House and CI recs. I may have given up on House the show after last night, but fic is forever. Or something like that.

Thanks as always!

Hee! You and I? Sure. But sugarpromises hadn't seen, like, any show from the first list.

There's a surprising amount of good CI fic out there, and oddly enough, most of it is on ffn. And man, House really sucked last night, didn't it?

You're welcome!

Wooh! One fandom I know!!! Lol. Don't worry, by the end of the summer I should have a few more fandoms added to the list. Most likely, I'll still read a lot of these before I get around to watching the show.

Hooray! I'm guessing it's UB which, for such a popular show, I was surprised by how little fic there was comparative to, say, Scrubs during the first year they were on. Hope you don't mind the B/D-ness.

Lol! Reading fics before you know the source material is fun! I'd recomment the West Wing and Atlantis fics first, actually, just because the overall quality of writing in them was superb.

Well, I actually know most of these fandoms. But I think the only one I'm really familiar with and have watched is BtVS . I have yet to watch UB in a linear fashion. I've only seen episodes and scenes here and there. From what I've seen, it's amazing. And I heart America Ferrera. It's on my list of things to watch.

I was thinking of reading those ones firsts. Mainly because I didn't want to be spoiled for UB and DW. I'm weird like that.

And. When are you free? Isn't there an interview that has to take place? I've got my shoe sale face on... I have faith that we can stay on topic!!

Ah, my lone BtVS rec. For all the fic I read a few years back, that's the only one that stuck out in my mind. Sad, that.

UB rocks so much. Have you seen the season finale yet? My mom and I were both sobbing at the end. DW is another sob-fest, and that show you probably should watch in order, just because each season is basically a thirteen-episode story arc.

I'll try to be on later tonight. I have a paper to write (about which I am feeling much righteous anger at the moment), so I'll be up for a while.

Hi! I'm all up for good fic :)

Wow. Ugly Betty fic...I need to explore more, I didn't know it existed!

Sailormoon! How massive are we talking? Like a series set of encyclopedia massive?

Hi! *waves* Fic shall unite the world, I'm sure of it. :)

I mostly stayed in my little corner of UB fandom, so there's probably a lot more to explore than mentioned here.

The Sailormoon fic itself is only three novels, but there is accompanying fanart galleries, soundtracks, and -- I think this is still up -- fanfic based on the fanfic. The author has been writing this since 1995, so I consider that a massive undertaking. But yay! Sailormoon!

Question? Are there any Betty/Henry fic? I love Daniel, but I really enjoy the friendship aspect of their relationship :)

Now, just discussing the show, you think they'll ever "beautify" Betty because America Ferrera is a GORGEOUS GIRL. I just love her :)

There's a ton of Betty/Henry fic out there, I just don't read it. Check uglybettyfic to start with; it's an all-ship/genre community, and a lot of B/H stuff gets posted there.

I'm sure they'll "beautify" Betty to some extent by the end of the show, but I don't think it'll be as extreme as it's been in other versions of the show. The whole "inner beauty changing the outside world" is too important a concept here for them to go too overboard.

But I wouldn't mind seeing Betty glam it up for an awards ceremony or a night out or something. It's a crime to keep AF hidden forever. She so rocks!
