Feel free to add any recs to this you want. About anything. I mean, I read most fandoms, and the ones I don't are generally easy to figure out (though obviously I'll miss the in-jokes and references, and anything sci-fi might get complicated). This is in no way all recent fic, or stories for everyone, or even the best-written/made stuff out there. This particular list is just Feel Good Recs, baby.


Nick and Greg and little red ribbon. Smut! The Ribbon

Greg Sanders, Private Dick. Super historically accurate? Not exactly. Do I care? Nope. This series is completely fun and totally hot and just cheers me up sometimes. Why yes, I have read it repeatedly.

LEX LUTHOR IN A PLAID SCHOOLGIRL SKIRT! *ahem* Friends Don't Let Friends Wear Plaid Schoolgirl Skirts

Because Saul Panzer in the Nero Wolfe books is just all kinds of awesome: The Christmas Punch

(And Yuletide, btw. YULETIDE!!!!!! Yuletide *is* Fandom Awesome. I ought to do that again this year).

Pir8fancier's Hate Me/Bite Me Memes story. Harry/Draco. (No, I don't read or especially like Harry Potter. But first of all, grown up, bratty, spoiled Draco is love. And secondly, she took a really stupid and negative internet meme and turned it into porn. I mean love. Yes. That too. Draco was pissed off

A short original, fairy tale-ish fic. The Virgin and the Unicorn

omg, *any* Die Hard 4 Slash if you want hot, kinky porn.

Because I Have Spent My Day Watching Psych CAPSLOCK OF LOVE.

The Epic Tale of Rodney & John: Two Girl Scout Cookies In Love Delicious (pun intended) SGA crackfic.

Slash for the movie "Cursed"...which needed it. But there's no fandom, and no expectation of praise, and the author wrote this bit of perfect anyway.

Yuletide again! The Strange and Not Entirely Ineffective Courting of Jon Stewart by Stephen T. Colbert

Yuletide! "Smoke Signals" slash!!! EEEE!!!!! Thank you, fandom! Telling Tales

A small bit of DS porn from Spuffy. So thanks, Spuffy! What They Needed Ray really is so cute.

More Nick/Greg. The kind of established couple fic that doesn't usually get written. Ruminations on Broken Glass and Bare Feet

Tetchy The OG Simon/Jayne fic!

Also: Dear Fandom, you are awesome for introducing me to boysinskirts. Lipstick Vogue for DS.

And genderfuck! Thanks for that too, Fandom! Gonna Go to Babylon and Get Me Some Whiskey more Due South awesomeness. Maybe I ought to just thank Due South. :)

And thanks for authors like Thamiris too. And all her fic. I'll just link to one. Tied to the Wrist ah Smallville.

(Smallville and SGA, two of the few large fandoms I will read on a semi-regular basis, even if I stopped watching the shows themselves long ago)

Holmes/Watson slash, for existing at all. Sacrilege

Perfect fucking fanvids like this one---> Closer Kirk/Spock set to Nine Inch Nails.

I'm missing a lot. And yet babbling on at the same time. Because Fandom has given me so much. I mean, would I ever have discovered all my kinks without it? Would I have learned to tolerate and/or accept other people's kinks without it? And, though I may still harbor a lot of il will toward a lot of het shippers for their general attitude regarding slash and slashers, I have also seen slashers do some completely awesome things, just proving how stupid all those narrow-minded het shipper types are.


And icons! I forgot all about icons! How many precious icons have I gotten over the years???

*ack* Running out of time here...
First, you guys realize this show is Star Trek lite? I mean, even the show owns it, with it's constant ST:TOS references, but seriously-- It starts out straight-up Star Trek with the Kirk and the (slightly more snarky) Spock and the Bones (although they try to trick you, making the doctor the Scottish one) and then just rips off ST plots (any moment they are going to travel to the Nazi planet and the 1930's Chicago gangster planet, and I am so looking forward to the sex pollen episode) and then it just merges into a sort of Next Generation/The Original Series hybrid by bringing in touchy-feely Teyla (who is seriously fucking pissing me off with her soft voice and magic Wraith empathy powers. Why's it gotta be the girl?). Not to mention their complete inability to truly delve into any sort of issue, no matter how fucked up the actions of an episode. Couldn't they have learned from the New Battlestar Galactica? (i.e. They are isolating (interning) members of a certain race out of suspicion and at the end of the episode, everyone's all like, it was the right decision, no harm no foul. Or using a prisoner for scientific experiments, that's a line most people would at least *hesitate* to cross, no matter how creepy the prisoner. And speaking of creepy prisoners, why are the Wraith so one dimensional? Ever compare early Klingons to the later version? Later version is far more interesting...and disturbing).

Yes, I grew up watching Star Trek, and yeah, I could totally go on. But I won't, cuz I have another point (though keep in mind I am still watching this show and reading this fanfiction and making little squawks and girly noises and giggling, so obviously I am able to go with it and maybe love it a little). But in every fic so far I notice two things (Oh, should I mention I'm reading McShep? Isn't it obvious? If it weren't for their snark, the show would be so boring). One, "He was completely wrecked" the line leading me to believe it must be said on the show at some point, and the reemergence of the phrase "slow on the uptake" something not seen since the heyday of Due South (which leads me to believe the presence of a certain fabulous Big Name Author *cough* Speranza *cough* is the culprit). At first it was cute. Now it's bugging me. So knock it off writers, so I can enjoys more of the fluffy manlove. (Not that I haven't done a Due South cliche or two...or three in my time, but you try to move past those. Hopefully? Oh God, what if I haven't? *panics*).

Anyway, in conclusion: [personal profile] pir8fancier this is all your fault.

Though my total love is still clear, right? I mean...there has to be an episode somewhere where Sheppard and McKay are forced to fight to the death like Gladiators with the crazy music playing...
